Dan Gleason
Dan Gleason recently retired after 30 years on the biology staff as an instructor and lab expert at the University of Oregon,giving CraneDance Publications a strong base in science. His specialty is ornithology (birds), and he continues to teach the Field Ornithology class at the UO during summer terms. His biological background combined with expertise in photography and database development give them good complementary skills as they work together in their studio in Eugene's south hills.
Dan's background in photography, and superb Photoshop "Chops," give us outstanding capabilities in doing photo restoration work and major image-editing, from changing product colors to making babies smile. Some samples are on our BGleason site here.
Together, we specialize in work with small to medium-sized businesses, government agencies and other organizations needing customized creative help with graphic design, illustration and book publishing.
Illustration & Project Management
Barbara creates illustration using several media: pen and ink, carbon dust, watercolor, colored pencil, and computer. We're comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously, providing graphic design, consultation, illustration, graphic production management, and even writing, editing and proofreading. We have a number of off-site team members we regularly work with in related areas, so we can find the perfect members of a team for your project!
