Zac Van Note
Zac has been involved in computer graphics and design since 1987. He works as an
in-house graphic and web designer for a local company and as a freelancer, creating commercial websites, print catalogs and brochures. Recently, a primary client's website was awarded recognition for best trade website in its industry.
Zac earned his BFA in graphic design at New Mexico State University. In the years before college, he wrote, drew, and published comic books. In the years since college, he's worked as a graphic designer for three large B2B distributors creating catalogs, web sites, and multimedia presentations.

He has also contributed to several Dreamweaver books as an author and technical editor for New Riders/Peachpit and Thomson-Course Technologies as well as technical websites such as www.dmxzone.com.
