Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.
Art is knowing which ones to keep. - Scott Adams
Welcome to DWM Design. The DWM stands for Daryl Wayne Martin, and that’s me. I am a freelance graphic designer and illustrator working in Huntsville, Alabama. I have been working in the “Rocket City” since 1997, creating graphics, logos, T-shirts, stationary packages, and much more. I’ve had the opportunity to work on almost everything, from web buttons all the to vinyl vehicle graphics. Whether you need new business cards, a logo, t-shirt design, or just some photos touched up, I can help you with your creative needs. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

As an artist, I’ve always had a strong interest in graphics —the relationships of type, color and imagery to convey meaning. When I started college at UAH in 1992, I had every intention of becoming a mechanical engineer. I was going to graduate and head to Motown to design cars. In college, I became more interested in working with computers to manipulate digital media and create art. so they suggested a career as a graphic designer.
I continued to study traditional art techniques and color theory, supplementing my education with art history. In 1998, I graduated with an Art Studio degree in Graphic Design from UAH and I immediately began working as a graphic designer for The Huntsville Times. It was in that fast-paced environment that I was able to learn so much so quickly about graphics and typography. Like any designer, I always have more to learn, so in my spare time I decided to do a little freelance work, and thus DWM Design was born.
In my spare time I enjoy working on and restoring my 1972 Volkswagen Super Beetle. I also try to keep up with the latest web technology so I can translate what I know about design to the web. I’m more of a print designer, but it’s hard to deny the power and functionality of today’s internet.
