Jack Swain
Hi, I’m Jack, a designer with a passion for creating exciting visuals that toy with colour, layout, and texture. During my time studying at Reading, I have developed a strong typographic skillset and a versatile design mindset that has been put to use with real world clients. I enjoy exploring different design styles and mediums to create work that’s both impactful and unique, yet applicable to real world design solutions.
Forte Magazine
Forte is a magazine designed for music enthusiasts. It aims to shed light on smaller artists, cult favourites, hidden gems, and under-appreciated projects. Each issue covers a different genre and features album reviews, artist profiles, interviews, and exciting imagery.
Featured here are a range of cover proposals for different issues, and the inside pages for the Hip Hop Edition.
Deftones re-design
A re-design of Deftones’ compilation album ‘B-Sides & Rarities’ with accompanying music video DVD. The visual concept takes on overlapping faces, particularly eyes and mouths, to match the deep layered aesthetic of the music, and the emotionally charged themes throughout the album. The DVD cover acts as a removable lyric booklet, creating a more interactive experience with the product.
