overview:
The reception of a presentation or publication often hinges on the quality of its diagrams, charts, and figures. In many cases, however, authors find themselves at a loss to produce visual examples of a quality that matches their scholarship. Although notation software has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, complicated interfaces can be intimidating to the occasional user—if not outright unapproachable.
I am therefore pleased to offer my services in helping you prepare your work for presentation or publication. As a graduate student in music theory at the University of California, I've had first hand experience with conferences and the publication process. I know the caliber of work expected at this level of scholarship and would be delighted to provide you with stunning visual examples for your paper, article, book, or presentation.
what I offer:
I am available to help you through the process of preparing visual examples every step of the way, regardless of whether your working copies consist of hand-drawn notes or exist in a more fully-realized state. I can produce professional diagrams, tables, charts, and figures suitable for publication or presentation from any source. (Schenkerian analyses and other complex analytical graphs are a personal specialty!)
See below for several samples of work I've done in the past.
Many publishing houses require visual examples to be submitted in very specific formats. I am ready to work with you and your editor to meet these specifications in as efficient and timely a manner as possible. I work with both major musical notation software suites (Sibelius and Finale) and can realize any other type of diagram you can think up. I am capable of providing MIDI realizations of musical examples as well.
In certain circumstances, I will also be able to help with the preparation of PowerPoint presentations and web design. Feel free to inquire for more details. My contact information appears to the right.
rates:
My rates are negotiable and I am willing to work out some kind of arrangement that will fit your budget. I typically charge $20 per hour worked and can provide estimates based on samples you send me.
