ABOUT ME
Dana Wedman
SR. GRAPHIC ARTIST/
ART DIRECTOR
Who I Am
Born and raised in Northeastern Ohio, I relocated to Atlanta in 1999. I decided to attend The Art Institute of Atlanta and pursue my passion for art and all things creative. I'm an avid mountain biker, runner and mother to a mini schnauzer and 4 (that's right, four) cats.
Creativity and outside the box thinking is in my blood. I'm always looking to expand my skill set, learn from others and take creative criticism. I have over 17 years experience in the print design industry and I'm in the process of learning all I can about digital marketing. I love exploring new technology, new design techniques and new design platforms. My favorite thing about the graphic design industry is that it's always changing and growing. There is no limit to design.
SERVICES
Vector Graphics
Expert level experience in working with vector designs and color separations. Logo creation, file manipulation, clipping paths, text editing and Pantone vs. CMYK color settings are all in my design background.
Website and App Design
Advanced level of front end website design and app development. I have experience in creating digital ready files for banners, emails and websites.
Books, Catalogs & Magazines
Expert level experience in creating multiple page layout designs. I've created several books, magazines, catalogs and directories. Worked with style sheets and custom page layout plugins. Advanced experience in pre-flighting for print and press checks.
Photo Manipulation & Re-Touching
Expert level experience in photo manipulation for mockups, renderings and samples. I have over ten years of experience in working with re-touching photos for image quality and design purposes. I can easily and quickly combine elements of photos to get the look and feel needed for an ad or design, without having a custom photo taken or produced.

Scott Attenborough
In 2006 we opened a new salon. The ”to do list” in opening a new business was much longer and overwhelming than we could have ever imagined. One of the most important aspects of getting up and going was to design a logo that we felt created the image for our business that matched our vision. We had no idea where to begin. I contacted Dana Wedman and arranged a meeting to start the brain storming process for the branding of Salon Lotus. Thank goodness Dana knew what she was doing because we clearly did not! I showed up with some bath gel that had a Lotus flower on the front of the bottle. That is actually pretty funny now that I look back at my lame attempt of creating a visual. Dana had all the right questions for us that allowed her to completely see our vision for the vibe of our business. With that one meeting she created the perfect logo that was turned into signage, business cards, letterhead, envelopes, T-shirts, menus, frequent buyer cards & gift certificates. She was amazing! Everything she hands us is always dead on to our vision. Dana is certainly a focused business owner that has a great passion for her creative work. I know that we would never consider using anyone else! Thank you Dana, your brilliant designs have certainly helped drive our salon’s success.
