Give me your tired brochure, your poorly designed poster, your huddled masses of clip art on your ad, all yearning to breathe free as good design! I will transform it with a headline, a focal point, and graphics and fonts that makes sense. I will pare down the copy and bring people to your event, website or business. I will put your logo in the correct place and simplify your contact information. You will finally be free of the drudgery of bad design! I've been in the art, advertising and graphic design business since the late '80s. I loved working with the Ad Staff at the Spartan Daily while at San Jose State University. From there, I worked at Metro Newspapers, JDS Group Public Relations, a graphics firm in Palo Alto, and then began my own business, Dixon Design, in 1998 where I've been doing freelance graphics for a variety of clients locally as well as nationally and internationally—from Hawaii to Canada to D.C., Austraila and London.
