About

Hi, I'm Jordan,  a multi-disciplinary graphic designer with a passion for modernist design principles in typography, visual design and visual systems. With an MA and BA Honours degree in Graphic Design from the University of Portsmouth, my expertise in typography, type design, and visual systems promotes a strong foundation that I apply through my own methodology approach. Through my education and freelance work, I’ve tackled diverse research & development briefs and client projects, sharpening my creative problem-solving skills and refining my approach to practice-based research. I believe in the power of design to communicate and connect, and this philosophy drives my methodology.My portfolio showcases a blend of creativity and technical expertise, spanning brand identity, innovative typography, and engaging print design. Whether building a brand from the ground up or refining an existing one, I bring a thoughtful and well-rounded approach to every project.Exploring print design, visual systems, and type design continues to expand my creative toolkit, allowing me to push boundaries and grow as a designer. I thrive on collaboration and feedback, always striving to improve and contribute fresh ideas with a strong design perspective.

Flexible visual systems in Constructivism

My project called Flexible Visual Systems in Constructivism, formed part of my third-year major. The brief for this project was to explore an area of interest that would evidence a wide range of secondary textual and visual research through a wide selection of credible sources. Copious amounts of research into the history of Russian Constructivism, allowed me to adopt a constructivist mindset to explore layout and composition through grid systems in modularity and how this is communicated in graphic design. My research lead me to further develop ideas by exploring the work of designers such as Karl Gerstner, Karl Martens and Martin Lorenz; turning my research into final design artefacts that visually show how Russian constructivism can be transformed into a visual identity that is fully flexible as a visual system. Expression through rigorous iterations became an important part of my understanding of how visual identities can be formed into a flexible response. Using different print medium methods through screen printing and lino print, allowed me to adapt my ideas further visually and show how I can create such artefacts that will best communicate towards my target audience.
