About
I was born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. I began drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil, and drew all the time. I love working in most any medium, as long as I am creating. I have worked in acrylics, pastels, watercolor, mosaic, photography, and now back to oil painting. I love learning new mediums and new processes.
I love graphic design because I love solving the issues that come with it. I love watching the evolution and formation of ideas. I have experience in just about every area of advertising, from account management and marketing to copy writing and most of all, graphic design.
I graduated from FSU with a degree in Art with emphasis in Visual Communications. My first job was technical illustration for military maintenance manuals where we did everything by hand, pasted it up on a board and then used a stat camera to shoot it all. I then took a job as a designer for a Scuba magazine where I obtained most of my experience. Not just in design, but most importantly scheduling and organizing.
After the magazine, I entered the advertising world and have been there ever since. Advertising brings with it a great variety of work from logos and posters to ads, t-shirts, billboards, brochures and now banner ads and web sites. I am also responsible for the annual Visit Pensacola Visitor Guide, which is a 76-page booklet on the Pensacola area along with the Visitor Guide for Pensacola Beach. I love these projects because it brings back my days at the magazine.
A few years ago I was also responsible for the design and management of 39 Eco signs for placement on Pensacola Beach. This was an enormous undertaking as far as locating photos, managing copy, editing and proofing and race-to-the-finish designs. This was a project close to my heart because I love nature, our local wildlife and the wonderful beaches we have. You can view the designs of the signs and web site in my portfolio.
I have also re-engaged with my art and have been busy perfecting my skills in oil painting. Visit https://www.instagram.com/trisha.idoni/ or http://www.trishaidoni.com to view more of my fine art.
