About Jon
Effective design is not about the medium; it is about the message. It is the ability to convey this message to the intellect, and a feeling to the senses – whether it be on paper, on a computer screen, or communicated through the ear.
Understanding this is what makes Jon Valade unique. Whether it be designing print material, multimedia, websites or music in his recording studio, Jon's approach is the same – you must convey a clear message, with simplicity, beauty and grace. His style is modern and edgy but he always keeps the client's goals at the forefront.

Innovation is the new
currency.
The days of a whopping marketing budget or a pretty design equaling success are over, as history has so well proved. If you're not creating something that's genuinely new—as well as useful and delightfu l— your marketing is already obsolete.

Some thoughts on
social media...
Narrative is the experience. As the Web becomes the preferred destination for brand exploration, digital experiences must become richer, deeper, and more able to tell compelling stories. If your brand experience depends entirely on pages and clicks, it's time to wonder, "What is my story?"
