Andrew has been an advocate of integrating color management into digital workflows to better facilitate the creative process.

"If you are a designer, photographer, printmaker or digital imaging professional, you owe it to yourself to work in a calibrated environment. Like a finely tuned machine, there are specific steps that can be taken to insure that what you scan, image or create on your monitor has color accuracy. Output can take many forms: the web, ink jet printer, or offset lithography, and because of this one needs to be able to translate the color spaces to suit the output. In the early days, I thought color management was impossible; I was always told not to trust my monitor. But I've become a proponent of a color managed workflow because my own work and the work of my clients has become so much more consistent and effective."

Andrew can help you calibrate your monitors, scanners and printers so that they can communicate with each other, and the seemingly chaotic world of color can exist in harmony. He can be reached at 818.340.6088 or email:

"There's freedom with color management; your monitor matches your printer as well as your output. Suddenly you can focus on being more creative and intuitive with your design, imaging or production work."
