FAQ

What does JailBreak Designs mean?

JailBreak Designs, to me, is a metaphor for breaking out of the day-to-day grind that so many people continuously go through without question or need. When I pull the camera lens up to my eye, I see the world in a manner that continuously reminds me that there is so much more out there than what we are peering at without question or closer observation.

How long have you been doing this?

I have been into art in general far before I knew what "Graphic Design" was. When I was 15 years old in High school I joined an early computer class that was called, "Digital Art" or something of that sort. There was no teacher for the class, they had one license for the program and a tutorial book. I sat there every morning reading that tutorial by myself learning on my own. Since that time, I have written my own tutorials, lessons, and taught several classes as well as mentored my own intern.

My passion for graphic design is only challenged by my love of photography. I've had 2 years of internships with some of Southern Oregon's best photographers and still maintain friendships with some of them. :)

 

Is this your only job?

I am currently employed as Pre-press Manager/Designer/Typesetter for an Ashland Oregon printing company. Jailbreak Designs is my business that I will some day devote full attention too, but only when I am fully prepared to make that leap.

I also am beginning a memorial service which is basically a branch of JailBreak Designs.
This business is called A Moment of Silence.

 

 

You gave me your card and said you would like to photograph me, why?

Well, if this happened to you, that was my twin brother who does that for kicks sometimes to embarrass me... Just kidding, If this honestly happened to you then this means I find you intriguing enough to want to photograph you. Normally a fee would be associated with photography shoots, but if I approached you, then it is more than likely that I want to photograph you to expand my portfolio. So PLEASE contact me.

By agreeing to allow me to photograph you we can set up specific arrangements, but you definitely receive all the photos I take in a digital format in the least.

 

 

What programs do you prefer to use?

My favored programs of choice are Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum, Adobe Premiere, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Dreamweaver. I am also, reluctantly, on a PC based platform. When I can, I will transfer over to Mac.

Where can I go to see more of your work?

One area I frequent as a social place to gather inspiration and gawk at all the beautiful art is DeviantArt.com.

My DeviantArt account is located HERE if you are interested.

Why should I choose you?

I have worked with many different businesses and made many contacts through the Ashland printing company I worked from, as well as the ability to work at a face pace based on strong self motivation. I am able to communicate well and use my abilities to portray the message intended as well as identifying with the client to better understand their needs.

Weather it be capturing the specific characteristics of the person(s) in front of the lens or delivering a strong/bold/unique message to the observer, I am very capable and very willing.
