Jayson Payne is a multidisciplinary art director and visual designer currently living in Long Beach, CA (USA). His studio services span brand identities, books, publications, music-related artwork, print collateral, apparel graphics, title treatments and digital artwork.
His approach questions traditional design aesthetics through an investigative approach to a concept and its corresponding material landscape. He looks for opportunities in the limitations of projects, analyzing conventional design norms and balancing which elements of a work can be challenged with what must remain a constant to create unity.
Beyond his client work, he self-initiates art and design projects to explore design as a medium and to consider visuals generally quixotic in the commercial realm.
Please reach out for more information or to discuss a project.
