Jack Grafton - Wolff Olins

Jack's History:

2009 - did a foundation corse at Leeds College of Art

2010 - 2013 -  Went on to do BA Graphic Design at Edinburgh College of Art ; here he realised he likes very clean/ minimalistic design.

2012-2013 - Did a very interesting final uni project. Hindsight magazine- this explored the world around us and how we interpret the news/ things we see in the press. He also created MAD magazine which focused on 'attack is the best form of defence' in relation to Korea and how they threaten with nuclear weapons.

2013- New York - Studio Lin & Colophon Foundry
The most important thing for him at this time was enjoying his experience, he saved up in order to do the internship as he didn't get paid much. The day before he flew home he got offered a freelance job at Colophon Foundry.

2013- He then returned to the UK - Interned at Browns, London where he was paid £100 a week. He got offered a job but the money wasn't good enough so he refused this.

2014- He moved back to New York with his girlfriend where he worked at Javas Lehn Studio for 3 months.

2014- 2016 - Internship at Spin & Unit Editions, London
At Spin he worked on rebranding University of The Creative Arts. Their branding was originally very dated therefore they needed a re-vamp. The logo used derived from a stencil. From this they made their own typeface which was used on the football teams shirts, for the numbers on the back.



2017- Freelance in London - met Tony Blair and did some work for him as well as redesigning the Tinder logo and doing some work for The Premier League.

2017 - Present - Wolff Olins Brand Agency, unable to show us any work from this time
