I’m Tony B, a graphic design pro.
Not like the graphic artist behind the counter at your neighborhood quick printer.
Or your sign guy or t-shirt person.
More like the designer who did package design for Apple Computer and magazine ads for McGraw-Hill while in his junior year of college.
A designer who’s built projects (and teams) to provide design and brand solutions both in-house and as an agency professional.
An Adobe Certified Visual Design Professional.
With over a decade of experience.
THAT guy.
“Mr. Buford is a talented graphic artist and capable art director that I have worked with over my terms as an elected official in the City of Philadelphia.”
“Tony Buford welcomed me to City Council with advice about, and a passion for, helping me create a strong and vibrant brand for the Philadelphia Veterans Advisory Commission.
He helped me write and design communications to connect with our Veteran population throughout my time as Director.
I recommend Tony highly to anyone looking to add his multi-faceted talent to their team.
On a personal note, Tony is one of the most professional and compassionate people I have ever worked with.”
“Anthony Buford is a consummate professional within his field. His balance of business and interpersonal skills are what make him the ultimate colleague. He has great attention to detail and his follow through is impeccable. During his tenure with us he was required to work from home and his communication and deliverables never missed a beat.”
What do my certifications even mean?
MCIW Designer
(Master Certified Interactive Web) Designer
This one means I was trained to create the internet. Web sites, banners, interactivity and coding…like that. I was also trained in writing code. I don’t want to do that all day, but I can and will help whenever necessary.
Adobe Certified Professional in Visual Design
This is that red/multicolor badge, followed by the blue, orange, and magenta ones.
I’m a certified Professional in Visual Design. Which means Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign.
