2. _Intro_

3. _Hey
there,
I am
Jay_
Graphic designer, art director, photographer,
publishing expert & aviation freak. This is what I do:
CREATE CARE COMMUNICATE
I create art using wide
array of tools forging
unique visual signature
to each piece of
the story.
I take Care of my work
by treating it like an
organism that is yet to
develop and grow for a
perfect story to tell.
Each organism needs a
host. I make sure that
our created space has
enough water and warm
climate to thrive on.

4. _Clean_&
_simple
language_ I tend to use and practice simple graphics
communication language based on
principles of Bauhaus School.
In my 15+ years of
experience I’ve learned that
the devil is in the details ...

5. _Have
_a _vector_
logotype
I rely only on myself
while working on
solutions leaving
no room for
compromises.
I hate compromises.
One of the best
qualities designer
can have is the ability
to be resourceful
and always finding
solution to challenges.
By constantly avoiding & battling idiotism around me I tend to operate - normal considering a fact that
there are about 90% out of human population around us suffering from pure ignorance ...

Short deadlines &
un-thinkable ammount of work.
Sounds familiar?

7. I started wondering how the heck
does magazine, book and video
game publishing look like
_I know
_how
to
kern_
Joking aside, I managed to get great
experiences from this field working on several
levels of production and workflow management.
I was working on editorials, covers, ads, quality
control of dtp department and developing new
strategies for publishing platforms.
Soon I was Photography Editor, Photographer
& Art Director for several periodicals finishing
good 4 year run with impossible.
Publishers BRANDS
... and I never quite understood how
“In the next’s issue’s” Cover picture
would already be published ...

9. _Curriculum vitae_

10. • Corporate Identity Design
• Logotypes & Symbols
• Brand Design
• Brochures
• Annual Reports
• Packaging
• Calendars
• Posters
Technical College, Zreče - Slovenia, graduated in
1999 as Mechanical Engineering Technician.
The beginning of graphic design
projects dates back to my first
years of elementary school
when I did school presentations
and participated in numerous
international projects at fairs and
gatherings.
Even then I felt the need to
visually beautify the world and
make it closer to the people in a
simple, visual way. One wonders
what is quantum physics. I’ll do
it by breaking it down the visual
patterns known to me. So I will
save the world of abstract thinking
and mediocrity.
I am sometimes too honest, hard-
working, and eager of attention
and confirmation, a creative, fun,
collegial guy. During creative work
phase, where I create my own
embellished and orderly world
without dirty and torn pages of
free magazines left on the floor of
each bus station.

Divided into four distinct phases, Discover, Define, Develop and Deliver, it maps how the design process passes from points
where thinking and possibilities are as broad as possible to situations where they are deliberately narrowed down and
focused precisely on distinct objectives.
