If design is about communicating, it helps to have a large vocabulary of skills.

Michael Snell has over 20 years of experience as a professional designer. Fourteen years as a graphic designer and art director with award-winning ad agencies provided a sound base of experience. He now specializes in applying that background to all aspects of book design; covers and interiors, trade paperbacks to large format photography portfolios.
Michael also enjoys a good logo project, annual report or packaging project and designs websites.


“Graphic design is not just about making things beautiful — it’s about communicating visually. Every project has its own set of goals: to inform, to promote, to educate, to sell, to persuade. Accomplishing these goals in a way that is unique and visually pleasing increases the power of the message.”
