Augusto Barranco was born and raised in Miami, Florida; where he grew up with a passion for the arts. He attended many art schools starting at the young age of 11. He attended New World School of the Arts in Miami, where he learned how to express his feelings and emotions through art. Being the very first recipient of a full scholarship to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, he learned the basis of design on many different levels from editorial art to film design. He worked closely with many directors to produce numerous short films and commercials as a production designer. After graduating college with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts, he jumped into the film industry as a conceptual artist for many studios including Sony, Dreamworks, ILM, Paramount, NBC, Warner Bros, Imagi, Hasbro, Rhythm and Hues, Titmouse Animation, and Obsidian Entertainment.

He has recently been acquired to develop the new visual style of the Transformers Prime tv show for the up and coming tv network The Hub, debuting at the end of November.
