    A strong advocate of high quality design in all things, Bruce Daniel has honed his design craft through information graphics and, in particular, map design. Driven by a belief in the power of visual clarity and aesthetic presentation, his award winning work is found across the nation. His acute grasp of schedule and organization has supported his work on large scale projects from the Olympic Games to Yahoo! Maps to the International Court of Justice. Guiding and inspiring creative coalition has been integral to his work  since his earlier years producing theatre in New York and Baltimore. An intuitive and inventive sense of technology and materials informs his design techniques, which make particular use of texture, dimensionality, lighting, transparency, and motion.

He has designed maps for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic Games, Backpacker, AAA World and Sports Illustrated. He is featured in Adobe Press’ Master Class series Illustrator Illuminated, and in Rotovision’s Size Matters, about effective graphic design for large amounts of information.
