Meet Vincent Rosati: CreativeCOW.net leader

Vincent Rosati http://www.newinelabs.com New Jersey USA

Vincent Rosati was born in New Jersey, USA, in 1973. Beginning in 2001, he formally entered into the study of graphic design at the Art Institute of Washington in Virginia. The addition of design principles and techniques would come to compliment his background in print production and ground-level manufacturing processes when he found his first design position with Signs Now in 2003.

This experience also encouraged finding quick and effective methods for producing, or even recreating, quality imagery when supplied with less than ideal source material.

Throughout this time, Rosati spent personal time working in non-linear editing and motion graphics for progressive and interlaced video. Custom wipes and transitions were of particular interest, as well as developing graphical overlays for more formal presentations. With the advent of DVD, another opportunity arose for graphic artists to ply their trade, particularly in the creation of menus. With this, Rosati found another outlet to express creative visuals - the world of multimedia.

Later, formal illustration led to advertising illustration for the real estate marketing industry where Rosati was able to combine his illustration skills with his knowledge of full color print.

You can find Vincent Rosati hosting in Creative COW's Adobe Premiere Pro basics, and Adobe Illustrator Forums.
