ABOUT THIS ARTIST

Todd Machen, Art Director/Owner

A veteran of the graphic wars for over 30 years, Todd Machen brings a simple decree to the crowded field of design: the customer is king (and so is the audience). I recognize that great design is only successful if implemented through an intellectually-driven, synthesized and targeted approach. Every shade of color, every rule, every photo or illustration I add to my design solutions must have a purpose, and exist within an established graphic hierarchy. Excellent design exists to solve problems, not to impress other designers.

We ask you to remember that many designers, artists and illustrators may not want to have their images used in any way, including in agency presentations. Any use, including “comping,” implies value that is worth compensation. Art or photography in portfolios submitted for a job should not be copied for any use, including client presentation or “comping,” without the creator’s permission.
