My name is Chris Santoro and I'm a graphic design student from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. I aspire to do graphic design in the music industry; though I'm more familiar with the metal and hardcore scene, I'm open to doing design for all different genres.
I'm looking to do print collateral for bands, including logos, CD artwork/layouts, and merchandise. I am skilled with Adobe Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4, and InDesign CS4; in addition to that, I am also skilled in drawing, typography, and other illustrative means.
My goal is to work with the bands one on one in order to bring their concepts from initial thought to printed page/package. Through an interview detailing the project brief to an extensive yet fruitful design process, I will keep on the same page with each client by sending mockups of their projects until the final product is met. I am very friendly to work with and I will meet all deadlines.
In concerns to show bookers, I am more than happy to do your shows' posters, online flyers, etc.. I am also up to do page layout work such as zines for your local scene.
I understand that bands usually have financial issues upon the release of their albums, especially with paying for the cost of recording, mixing, and mastering; my goal in the long run is to expand my portfolio. I have most of my current work on my Flickr , so if you're interested, definitely get at me at:
