“Working with Gary as a production artist is fantastic and seamless. His graphic design experience allows him to easily explore options to solve for the constraints that are often given while getting files out for production in various sizes and media. When he's given a project it will come back seamless and ready to go; and that he will ask the right questions that need to be considered and may have been overlooked in the design process.”

Dana Nakagawa – Art Director @ Inizio Evoke (Giant Creative Strategy)
“Gary Silverstein has been the perfect Production Artist resource for us at Giant over the last several years because of his dependability and his skill set. I cannot recommend him highly enough for his technical software skills at creating detail-oriented print mechanicals in Adobe Creative Cloud, layout / type design for all types of digital and print work, beautiful presentation layouts and animations in Powerpoint and Keynote, and interactive layouts for iPad and email. Having Gary on our team has meant both meeting tight deadlines and offering the best possible work and best solutions to whatever problems arise. His “whatever it takes to get it done” attitude saves us time and again.”

“Gary has proven repeatedly to be an indispensable collaborator through intense launch conditions across a remarkable variety of tactics. His thoughtful and proactive temperament and diplomatic interpersonal style have ensured smooth and consistent results under the most unpredictable circumstances.
In the wide range of work we have shared, Gary’s breadth of technical skills has proven invaluable. A master of Adobe Creative Cloud apps, his contributions to iPad, email, presentation, and all manner of print and booth projects have shown a very high and always developing level of acumen and productivity. From typography and design stages through final production mechanicals Gary has a process-conscientious command of all aspects of workflow. I look forward to working with Gary again in the future and to the indomitable positive spirit he brings to his relationships with every member of his team.”
Paul Jerslid – Art Supervisor @ Inizio Evoke (Giant Creative Strategy)
“When a job is extremely complex and requires multiple levels of expertise and meticulous execution we call Gary Silverstein. Gary can be depended on to go above and beyond his job description. Gary does not need a project laid in his lap. He is capable of spearheading and managing every step of the process. Gary researches and pulls content. Assembles and problem solves images and content to reach the friendliest and most logical design solution. He quickly builds out the job and turns around changes with great ease and a friendly attitude. Each step is complete with delicate reminders for internal review or approvals to ensure proper check and balances in both overall design direction and time budgeted. When the job is ready for press we are confident to have Gary carry through and release files. His knowledge is extensive and his commitment to perfection is unwavering.”
