Jakob Clark is a freelance graphic artist based out
of Austin, Texas. Jakob is a recent transplant from
Jackson, Mississippi, where he was the advertisement
art director for the Jackson Free Press, the area's
premier alternative newsweekly. For his first couple
of years with the JFP, he worked at the award winning
AAN (Association of Alternative Newsweeklies) paper
as a graphic designer, working in the areas of advertisement,
cover design, layout, illustration, and production.
Jakob's
work is versatile, although his main inspiration comes
from the Midcentury Modern movement. He has a love
for furniture designers Charles and Ray Eames, architects
such as Richard Neutra and Pierre Koenig, graphic
designers Paul Rand and Herbert Matter, illustrator
Charles Harper, and textile designer Alexander Girard.
