Welcome! My name is Ben Garrison and I'm a graphic artist living in the Pacific Northwest. I use the latest computer equipment and software to produce informational graphics and design. I use a Mac G5 and recently I upgraded to Apple's 30-inch digital monitor. I have lots of graphic real estate! I specialize in Adobe Illustrator, but I also have the latest software including Flash, GoLive, InDesign and Adobe Photoshop. I own a high-quality printer and scanner and also a Canon 20D EOS digital camera. High speed internet access allows me to deliver large files to sites anywhere in the world. In other words, I have all it takes to do the job--including 25 years of experience in graphics. 17 of those years were spent at newspapers like The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, The San Antonio Express News and The San Angelo Standard Times. This experience has given me a keen appreciation for deadlines.

PROJECT: Chinook salmon are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. In King County's Green River watershed, citizens, scientists, businesses, environmentalists, and governments are working together on habitat projects and have developed a science-based Salmon Habitat plan. I was called upon to produce a large poster to convey the workings of this plan. If carried out, this plan will protect and restore a healthy watershed ecosystem for both people and fish.
