David Vogin

Art Director + Designer + Illustrator

Frederick (historical), MD, USA
Design director, art director, designer, and illustrator, I am passionate about design on all levels and work hard to produce award-winning creative that goes beyond a clients expectations. Concepting, design development, production and prepress, I enjoy the entire process. From print collateral, publication design, online advertising, web sites and logos to billboards, outdoor and trade show design…big and small I’ve designed for it and have enjoyed every minute along the way.
