Background

About Will Rowlands

General knowledge of electronic systems, design and typography as they relate to print, AV and web. I've been working with computers, the printed word and graphic design since 1977. I used typesetting computers before there were personal computers. I sent files electronically before there was a world wide web or email. I did my first websites in the '90s in HTML. I logged years at Fortune 5s, ad agencies, production shops, magazines and newspapers and have writing, editorial and management experience. I've also served on a number of boards, from the local Macintosh User Group to the executive committees of the Southern CT Soccer Officials Association and the New England Press Association. More recently, I was the president of the board of the Experiment Station Associates, a friends group of The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, and volunteered for the Connecticut Invasive Plant Working Group. I'm a UConn-certified Advanced Master Gardener. As the editor and publisher of Connecticut Gardener magazine, I find myself focused on some of the most important issues of our time: biodiversity vs. monocultures, natives vs. invasives, and sustainability and soil health vs. chemical dependence and pollution. Specialties: Award-winning editorial writer. Making technical issues understandable. Typography. Macintosh (since the MacPlus) and QuarkXPress (since version 1).
