Since 2003 this designer has worked
for various national and international
clients in different print media, including
everything from book covers, posters, and
album art, to T-shirts and illustrations. His
work has been highlighted in publications
such as Print, Communication Arts,
Computer Arts, Etapes, and Creative Review.
He has also participated in numerous
exhibitions, and his work forms part of
the permanent collection of the Modern
Art Museum of San Francisco.
THE STUDIO OF JASON MUNN, The Small
Stakes, is located in Oakland, California.
His posters are already emblematic in
the American independent music scene
having worked with musicians such as the
Pixies, Cat Power, Sufjan Stevens, Death
Cab for Cutie, and Animal Collective,
among others.
His work stands out thanks to his skilful
construction of elegant visual metaphors
of great purity and simplicity. He uses
shapes and colors to transmit an idea
where the conceptual process of each
piece plays an important role in the
execution.
The classic studios of Paul Rand and
Saul Bass as well as more contemporary
offerings such as Patent Pending and
Aesthetic Apparatus serve as the
designer’s greatest infl
uences.
