About

JACOB CASS

Jacob Cass PortraitHi, my name is Jacob Cass and I am the founder of ‘Just Creative Design’. On this website you will find my personal graphic design portfolio (My design services are currently available for hire), as well as a blog on the main subject of graphic design which provides free graphic design tips, articles & resources on all subjects of design, ranging from, but not limited to; print design, logo design, web design, branding, typography, advertising & more.

I am self-employed as a graphic designer, working in the fields of logo design, print design, web design and branding with the majority of my time spent designing and implementing marketing promotions for small businesses such as logos, brochures, letterhead, business cards, email signatures, etc.

I am 20 years old and I am a 2nd year University Student studying Visual Communication (Majoring in Graphic Design) at Newcastle University, Sydney, Australia. Even though I am in my 2nd year at University I have had multitude of experience, gaining my first freelance design job at the age of 16. Since then I have never turned back…

My life is design, I love it and I surround myself in it every day.

I am:
1. Enthusiastic (I want to learn)
2. Skeptical (I think critically)
3. Eloquent (I speak and write well)
4. Focused (I have the right attitude)

I also love to travel and currently have been to over 30 countries, of which I have spent 1 year as an exchange student living, working, and studying in Gothenburg, Sweden. When I’m not looking at a computer screen you will find me on the beach, traveling, or listening to music - maybe even all at once. You can check out some more pictures and stories of my travels here or here. You can also read even more about me here.
