My name is Chris Jennerjohn. I have two middle names. In the vein of “High Fidelity,” My all-time-top-5-favorite-things are listening to music, being a part of the design world and all that entails, reading magazines and blogs, drawing, and being happy.

I’m a graphic designer and a studio artist. Sometimes I know what that means, and other times I feel like it is still open to interpretation. One of the best parts of design is learning. I’m a life long learner and design gives me the opportunity to do that. Not only do I enjoy learning more and more about design, design trends, and code languages, but I also get to learn about the subjects I design for.

If you looked at my Google Reader you’d see Swiss Miss, FPO, Brand New, CMYBacon and more. If you looked in my mailbox you’d see Communication Arts, and Design Bureau Magazine. If you want to buy my something; subscribe me to The Thing Quarterly, SPIN and Juxtapoz; I’d settle for just one of them.

First and foremost, I love print design. I like paper samples, the smell of ink, the process creating a print, the special touches that can be added to printed materials, the tactile experience the viewer has with printed design and so on. In short, I don’t own a kindle and still subscribe to printed magazines.
Additionally, I find myself excited when I’m asked to design a piece that contains a large amount of information and copy. I enjoy working with large amounts of information that need detailed formatting. Like an infographic, a book, informational pamphlets, newspapers; I’m a sucker for anything that involves design thinking and creative layouts.
Finally, I enjoy doing design for a cause. If I could I would do nothing but work for free to help support positive change in the world. – This is my end goal, to create a design collective with this philosophy. Organizations like Invisible Children can have their hearts in the right places, but traction is also gained by having well designed materials that communicate efficiently.

The never-ending search for a beautiful font with hundreds of glyphs is one of the many aspects that I love about design; how could I not share some of my favorite fonts? Currently my favorite fonts are Governor, Geraed Slab, and Lobster Two. Sans, Serif and Script.
I love the feel when you find those two fonts that play well together on a page. At work we use Rockwell, Bebas Neue and Lobster Two. The contrast is great when you combine a thick-heavy serif with a thin condensed sans and add some flair with a mid-weight script.
