About The Designer  Dan Cassel - Graphic Designer
How I Got Started:
I am the man behind the scenes when it comes to the visual appeal you will notice on this website and most of the websites that are hosted here. My interest in Graphic Design became apparent to me when I was about 15 years old and received my first computer. From that point forward I researched and taught myself many software programs that enable you to manipulate images. My Mother is a career Graphic Designer and has taught me many of the more complex attributes contained within Adobe Photoshop. Adobe Photoshop is the program I use most frequently as it is extremely versatile and allows you to gain complete control over any image you are working on, or even give you a great foundational starting point for a new image or logo. In the near future I plan on purchasing and implementing Adobe Web Developer CS3, including Flash and Dreamweaver software to allow even more interaction and versatility.
Merging with BsnTech Networks:
Brian S, whom owns BsnTech Networks, has been a long time friend of mine, and we've both worked extensively on the creation of this site. Once his site started to grow and clientel started requesting our services, it became crucial to implement a Graphic Designer to assist in organizing the placement of the images and creation of the images to the client's specifications. Therefore, an official "merging" of my company Cassel Imaging Services, and BsnTech Networks was established on March of 2008.
My Future Goals:
I am currently attending the University of Central Florida pursuing a bachelors degree in Psychology. From there I will obtain my Masters at the same campus. From that point I may try and work in the school system administering testing to determine academic placements, become a counselor, or further my education to the doctoral level. I have a passion for Graphic Design however, which is a FULL TIME hobby of mine! I'm always open for business! You can also check out BsnTech Networks website where there are an extensive array of computer services that are offered. You might find a service that fit's your needs.
Open 24/7: Regardless if BsnTech is hosting your website or not, I will be more than happy to quote your business or personal imagery needs. Simply email me for a quote:

My Rate Plans & Info:
I charge by the image. Not by the hour. Prices are slightly negotiable. This ensures 3 things; customer satisfaction which is my #1 goal; it ensures dedication which takes the form of this example "I won't stop until you are completely satisfied with your image or logo"; and it prevents potential dishonesty or suspicion on behalf of the customer regarding the time it took to create an image. Because of this system I will quote you a price based on the cost parameters listed below FOR EACH IMAGE I CREATE (this may vary depending on the circumstances) Email me for a direct quote. Below is simply a pricing guideline. I will work with you if many images are required and the costs are substantial. Discounts And Payment Arrangements CAN and WILL be setup if this need arises. This will need to be communicated in a timely manner. For your protection: Under a circumstance where no matter what I do to try and re-edit your image you are still complentely dissatisfied, you WILL NOT have to pay for it. For my protection: I will need to have a "valid" reason as to why the image could not be corrected or rectified, which must be submitted in writing via email.
