Dan Machado Graphic Arts

I had my "mid-life crisis" in 1985. Though I've been drawing pictures since before I began kindergarten, I didn't get really serious about it until then. After having put in nine years with Seafirst Bank, I quit and went back to school. I attended the Art Institute of Seattle for two years, graduated with an Associate of Arts degree, and went directly into computer graphics production. Since then I have created computer graphics for several Seattle area businesses including AT&T Wireless Services, Inc., The Boeing Company, and King County Emergency Medical Services. My graphics portfolio includes everything from business cards and logos to signage; from button icons to bitmap animation . Computer Based Training experience added graphical user interfaces (CBT GUI's) to my portfolio. The GUI's include full-screen, full-color graphic backgrounds; Menu graphics; Splash screens; spot illustrations; as well as interactive navigation button designs. Here are some samples of my work.
