Carl is a graphic designer with over 30 years’ experience in the design & creative industries. He has spent most of his life doodling, drawing and collecting imagery.
Each doodle simply starts with Carl making a mark on a piece of paper – and seeing where it goes. The only plan is for the use of lines and shapes. He likes to use various weights of Fineliner & Rotring pen, Sharpies, Marker pens and bits of old Linocut & Letterpress – usually on white card in A4, A3 or A2.
Carl is influenced by popular culture, by words, lettering and signs – along with the shapes that we see around us on a daily basis. Since 2003, Carl has been the joint Creative Director of Branded by Jones (Carl Jones Design), the branding and communication agency he co-founded.
Based in Shropshire since 2004, Carl previously spent 12 years at London based design and branding agencies.
