Chip Neville began his career in the print industry just a few years prior to the integration of digital means. He was cross trained in traditional paste-up, Typesetting Camera, and Pre-press Stripping.
As digital technology was integrated into the printing industry Mr Neville operated the first Digital Imagesetting in Pinellas County for the SOS printing Center (now Promoco). The Linotronic L-100 coulpd print to paper negatives or direct to plate which was a very big deal in 1988.
It wasnt long until Chip moved to Baltimore and working for design firm Barton Gillette under designer Ed Gold. There he illustrated his first childrens book (My First Dictionary). Upon returning to Florida Chip was a Graphic Illustrator II for the State of Florida. After several more production positions Chip was hired as Art Director and senior illustrator of International Learning Systems of North America Inc. where thousands of pages of childrens books, posters games and packaging were produced under his direction and design.
Starting in the early 2000s, Chip began what became a career as an academic. At the same time he started a robust freelance business with clients such as apartmentsetters.com and Coordinated Child care of Pinellas County. Today Chip continues to produce illustration, animation, digital audio, and print design for select clients including various non-profit organizations in the Bay area such as Sonic Foundations and WSLR Radio in Sarasota.
