Doug Panton

Doug Panton Art & Illustration

Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Doug Panton is a professional illustrator and designer. He has achieved a variety of accolades in both practices and continues to receive assignments that require the design complexity of a multi-faceted project outcome–this has enabled him to experience and expand his competency in a hybrid manner. With his varied industry experience as an advertising art director and as designer/art director in the publishing arena, Doug has applied this methodology to further develop his interdisciplinary nature as an illustrator. As a hybrid designer, I can think flexibly about form, content, and methodology. Flexibility may be the most important skill to have, in today’s design marketplace, and beyond it.
