Hi, I’m Dave Johnson. Graphic designer, typographer, creator, innovator, design for print specialist, brand custodian, project manager, advisor, consultant, mentor, guitar nut.
I graduated mid-80s and have worked as a professional graphic designer in Cumbria and Lancashire, ever since – including 10 years for Cumbria County Council and over 20 years for Impact in Windermere.
As you might imagine, after this amount of time, I have considerable expertise in many
aspects of design – from traditional print-based projects, to logos and branding, exhibition and display, point-of-sale and website UI design.
The samples in my portfolio are just a fraction of the work I’ve completed so, if something you’re looking for isn’t listed, let me know – there’s a good chance I’ve worked on something similar.
So, I’m notion and notion is me. Rocking the design boat for decades (and tipping it over a few times…)
