Outback Press - Oct ’15 - May ‘16I managed the design, print and distribution of 3 district newspapers that were sent to over 3000 households each fortnight. I trained new staff on the inner workings of a print office and how to operate best in their new job roles. I also priced jobs and dealt directly with clients to ensure what we were creating was exactly what they required.
A NEW CHAPTER...Design Hero is the freelance alter ego of Graphic Designer, Jordan Jones. I aim to create design work that encompasses the same ethos of which I live my life. “Be The Hero of Your own Movie”;I heard this quote last year and have been aiming to live my life in this way ever since. Each decision I have made since then has been with the aim to become the sort of person I want to be, including the decision to create this brand and portfolio. Please view my body of work over the next few pages as the beginning of a journey. I hope you enjoy what you see and that the brief explanations on each page give you an insight into my thought processes.

Over the last 3 years I have been commissioned by the Portugese restaurant NahNahBah to create various illustrative artworks for the backs of their menus. This years theme was Space, so my idea was to include a little bit of Portugals encapsulated on a spaceship on its way to planet NahNahBah.

With this commission I was asked to choose my own theme for the artwork. I went with the old classic ‘zombies’, as this was all the rage in 2015. The zombie can be seen wearing a nahnahbah t-shirt and also eating a burger packed with delicous brains!
