JOURDAN CREATIVE: INSTAGRAM FEED

 

early signs of creativity at 5 years old.

Since he was 5 years old he was drawing copies of the famous Nike 'swoosh' logo. Here is a boat...

Drawing of a green boat from 1998 when Jourdan was 6 years old. Lee Clow's boat had smoke, Jourdan's has a red light.

Jourdan is an Australian Creative living and working in Australia.

He is currently releasing his own design products such as the Get The Met book which details the Melbourne Train System across 100 pages of well designed content.

His work always aims to imbue meaning and thought into suited mediums such as prints, flyers, websites, branding etc, and also into emerging engagements like products, experiential (events/stunts) and technology. 

In his teenage years he explored inner city cultures of skateboarding and graffiti-spray art. His creative energy lead him to complete, in 2015, a Bachelors Degree in Communication Design at Swinburne University in Melbourne.
