"It's not often that a 20-year competitor volunteers praise. However, without
hesitation, I would refer any of my clients to Dianne Nelson of Shadow Canyon
Graphics because I know they will be treated professionally, skillfully, and
with respect. The publishing business needs more smart, experienced, book pros
like Dianne."
— Alan Bernhard, Principal, Argent Books
"Dianne Nelson has a rare combination of gifts: She is a remarkably
creative and talented graphic designer who also has tremendous technical
know-how. This fortunate combination results in beautiful books that
are incredibly professionally produced. Dianne is such a pleasure to
work with that she inspires the very best from everyone on the project,
from publisher to printer. I learn something—and often many things—from
Dianne each time we work together. I consider Dianne Nelson to be the
designer and compositor to count on for book projects."

"During my tenure as editor of the Journal of the American Animal
Hospital Association, the role of designer/desktop publisher was crucial
for our editorial team to meet its production deadlines as well as
being central to our quality assurance efforts. Shadow Canyon Graphics,
and particularly Dianne Nelson, never failed us - even when last minute
issues threatened our ability to meet deadline, she was always there
for us, often lending her keen eye to detail on a moment's notice.
Shadow Canyon Graphics played a major part in the accomplishments of
our small editorial team!"
