PORTGRAPHIC DESIGN

PORTFOLIOJ A S O N P E R E Z2

Hi

I am Jason Perez..

I consider myself to be extremely fortunate, because my ‘job’, such as it is, simply entails doing

what I love. I call myself a designer as it’s a nice umbrella term for the web design / print design /

illustration / branding work that I do, although I spend a great deal of time talking about design

I’m a simple 23 year old living in the city. I was born in the US but was raised in Colombia for part

of my childhood and returned to discover my passion in the arts. I have developed a keen interest

and skill set in Graphic Design and am an avid Graphic Designer capable of using my knowledge

and tools to execute any project or job. I am well versed in different areas of design and have suc-

cessfully designed solutions for print media and have a total work experience of 5 years. When

I’m not creating things, I spend my time trying craft beers, eating or cooking, as well as hiking.

Building visual brand identities that elevate and compel experiences true to your service and deliver a dynamic story. creative strategic design that shapes brands through powerful storytelling, stunning design and insightful problem solving. Many people believe a brand only consists of a few elements – some colors, some fonts, a logo, a slogan and maybe some music added in too. In reality, it is much more complicated than that.

One major role in the ‘brand’ or ‘corporate image’ of a company is its identity.

In most cases, identity design is based around the visual devices used within a company, usually assembled within a set of guidelines. These guidelines that make up an identity usually administer how the identity is applied throughout a variety of mediums, using approved color palettes, fonts, layouts, measurements and so forth. These guidelines ensure that the identity of the company is kept coherent.

While most bar brands use muted colors or complex graphics, I opted for a simple and straight-forward design language that utilizes a simple palette and a bold logo mark.

Looking at type from the 1800’s and pulling together certain attributes from sans serif typefaces. An illustrated ampersand was created to highlight the connection between the letters, that results in a detailed and spirited work.

Pinning down exactly what is meant by the term Web design can be difficult. At best we can see that Web design is a multidisciplinary pursuit that consists of five primary components: content, visuals, technology, delivery, and purpose. However, theories of exactly how these components should mix together vary from person to person as well as project to project. Striking a fine balance between form and function, user and designer, content and task, and convention and innovation is the lofty goal of the Web designer. The good designer knows that scales should not tip too far one way or another and tries to avoid the absolutisms of “correct” Web design. Yet not everything in the field of Web design is so abstract—many specifics can be found. Correct mastery of the technical medium and knowledge of various details and conventions are mandatory for aspiring web design

A logo is for identification. A logo identifies a company or product via the use of a mark, flag, symbol or signature. A logo does not sell the company directly nor rarely does it describe a business. Logo’s derive their meaning from the quality of the thing it symbolizes, not the other way around – logos are there to identity, not to explain. In a nutshell, what a logo means is more important than what it looks like. Logo design is everywhere. It is the key element for any company’s corporate identity. It is important that as a company they ensure that the logo that is representing them is effectively designed so that people can easily identify and relate the logo to the company. If a logo is poorly designed, it can have a negative effect on the company it is speaking for.

A simple logo design allows for easy recognition and allows the logo to be versatile & memorable. Good logos feature something unique without being overdrawn.

Following closely behind the principle of simplicity, is that of memorability. An effective logo design should be memorable and this is achieved by having a simple, yet, appropriate logo.

Reading is a collection of work there relies on the careful deployment of typography. the way the type looks feels and behave impacts the way we consume messages words are sometimes images images are sometimes words typography can be in neutral vessel of communication decoration illustration installa-tion. The reader is left to discover each level of narrative, through images, text and hidden thoughts. This idea of discovery underlines, once again, the inside/ outside duality, forcing the reader to actively engage with the object.
