Daniel McNutt’s Summary
I am a graphic designer living in Moscow, Pennsylvania. Originally an Arizona native, I moved to Pennsylvania in 2004.
I have over 15 years of design and management behind me and I look for similar prospects in the future. I am a strong believer in good customer service and that applies to ANY industry, especially graphic design.
Good design is the best way to communicate ideas and concepts. You see it every day. On your way to work or school, it may be the stop sign you stop for or a billboard for a business you pass on the highway. It's all graphic design. The intermingling of words and pictures or even motion and animation can lead to an emotional response, a message of clarity, or a calamity depending on the skills of the interpreter.
