studio

jldesign is a graphic communications studio specializing in the effective design of visual signatures, publications, promotions, websites (HTML and Wordpress) and for social networks.

A little bit of my thinking.

it looks good

Or it does not. Investing in good graphic design upfront can save you time and money in the long run. 

simple & clear

In a busy world, society craves more space and less noise. Be clear. 

yes/no/or/ wow

WOW doesn’t just happen. It takes effort. I always aim for 120%. 

i dont like black

This VP of a major international high-tech. co. did not like black. So I suggested other colours before the whole project was rejected. How ridiculous.  

it is all in the details

It is about space, weight, colours, typography, kerning or not, images, graphics and words. It takes time, inspiration, and imagination.

Good design or bad design?

You have a choice. Good design evokes an emotional response, communicates clearly, and delivers a return on investment.
