Hi, my name is Jake. This is my portfolio of record; a presentation of real client work ...read more that reflects my abilities in the field of graphic design (to include art direction, photography, web and motion).
Contained within are all the micro-flourishes of considered graphic design. I draw custom letters, take original photography and sweat the little things. But the big picture is not lost on me. It’s all in servitude of the client. Graphic design—after all—is commercial work for people, places and things. It’s their topic, their genre. Ultimately, they pay me to take their problem and make it my own (for a time). To that I am, at best, a translator of their truth. And I believe I am quite good at meeting their expectations.
This portfolio is also a testament to all the intermediate conversations, explanations, trust-building and accommodations that always occur when creating for others.
