Dilan Design, llc. is a small design firm based in West Palm Beach, Florida, led by myself, Johnny Dilan as Creative Designer.
I aim to produce beautiful and simple solutions to your design problems. Be it a website, brand identity, or a print design, I have the combined expertise to provide you with a solution that will stand out on the web and on hard copy (paper).
The company was a long time side project beginning in 2004 after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and a concentration in computer information system from Troy University.
It has developed into a rewarding creative outlet for myself and a successful freelance design firm.
About the Designer
Hello, my name is Johnny Dilan. I’m a web designer who creates simple, effective and direct designs that take into account usability and the latest web standards. I have always been a natural problem solver and strive to find solutions to problems when others fail to find them. For the past 9 years, I have worked in the field of web / graphic design and also as a freelance designer. Since August 2008, I have been employed at an online news site, Newsmax, and work as an e-mail designer.
Some of my hobbies include running (Nike+), a little gaming (xbox 360) and the study of the Japanese martial art Kendo. You can find me running around downtown West Palm Beach some morning or practicing Kendo at Zoo Club fitness. If you want to learn more about Kendo please visit, Sedokan Kendo or contact me.
Design Philosophy
Create designs that are simple and convey a message with effective visuals. To me, creative design should be something that is created to express an idea. The best way to do this is to create designs that are simple but effective. This philosophy developed into a tag line for myself, Design Through Simplicity. The more complex a web page is, the harder it is for a visitor/user to navigate through it. I take the best practices from around the web and put them into all of my designs. One code of conduct that I follow as a designer is once you stop learning and growing, you become worthless to your clients.
