Mark Jackson’s Summary

I'm an Information Designer with a good technical background, a methodical approach, and a keen eye for typographical detail.
I can help you to communicate complicated ideas in a straightforward manner.

I have experience in building and implementing corporate visual identity; web sites, intranets, and blogs, either through re-alignment of exisiting information or development from scratch. I'm as happy working in pixels as I am in picas; from business cards to busy exhibition stands.

I'm good at troubleshooting existing information, taking it from forgotten to fabulous, delivering it as effective communication.
