Ken Underwood has worked as a digital retoucher, scanning technician and Art Director at Advantage printing since 1991. As a long time resident of Spokane, Washington, Ken stuck his foot in the door of digital imaging by getting involved with Advantage Printing when it was just a startup. As the first hire in a new company, he had the opportunity to learn every job in the building. His broad experience in everything from bindery to art direction give him a real world view when retouching in 2d, and allows him to get the most out of images for print.

Ken's work has been on display in thousands of retail locations all across the United States. It has included images for point of purchase literature, large format banners, display advertising, television, newspaper and magazine campaigns and much more. The advent of FTP and Next Day Air has rendered the location of this artist irrelevant; the only thing that matters now is talent.

Photoshop is his primary application and the tool he is most fluent in. He received his Adobe® Certification and is an Adobe® Certified Expert in Photoshop®. He has years of experience scanning and color correcting images as well as doing difficult compositing work. Photo manipulation is a passion for Ken and he has been learning tricks and techniques for years.

He is also proficient in: InDesign, Illustrator, Freehand, LightWave, Final Cut Pro, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Digital Performer and Reason. If you need something edited, scanned, designed, or laid out, he has the tools and experience to help you.
