jason atkinson graphic and interactive design

Jason Atkinson is an interactive and graphic designer, specialising in cross disciplinary skills

At present I am just coming to the end of my degree in graphic design new media. Most of my work revolves around bringing together two fields of study, whether that is technology, science or culture back into my design work. Making discoveries through both research lead design and playful experimentation.

interests

I have always had a strong relationship with both art and technology, as a design and art lover I have many favourites from classic painters such as Jenny Saville and Feliks Topolski to more contemporary designers such as Chip Kidd and Mike Matas. These designers relate to my passion for book design and the changing landscape of publishing, having produced a project and dissertation on the subject. I follow their work online as well as taking an active part in seeking out talks and exhibitions by or about them.
