Woman Weighing Pearls, Jan Vermeer

Guy Gondron Artist / Designer

Fresh out of school, armed with an Associate of Science degree in Advertising Design from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, I hit the job market. My first opportunity came from Harte Hanks Direct Marketing, as a designer for The Flyer, a direct marketing magazine.

In 1987, after having been an Artist/Designer for about four years, bored to death with print, I got my first break into broadcast design when I began working for Univision, a Latin television network broadcasting internationally. Over a six year period, my duties went from simple camera cards, to mastering the Quantel Paintbox and the Mac, to set design. My largest project being a $65,000 set for Calle Ocho, a yearly street festival in Miami.

In September of 1994, I was hired as Art Director at WSVN - channel 7 in Miami. Needless to say my workload increased ten-fold. In addition to designing graphic and sets, I now had to supervise 14 artists and Chyron operators. Some of my duties included designing a new work space for the Graphics dept., as we had moved across the building.

My family and I, seeking to escape over-crowded South Florida, packed up and moved to Orlando. I have been working as Art Director for WRBW, ch. 65 since October of 1995. This new job brought new challenges. Getting to work with some very impressive 3-D software and creating our station's website are two of the job's requirements.
