Thought & Process - Matt James, Graphic Designer

Thought & Process - Matt James, Graphic Designer Thought & Process is the practice of Graphic Designer Matt James. Based in Chelmer, Brisbane working with clients locally, nationally and internationally.

I work with businesses and organisations to help them define and communicate their vision, values and difference. Good design is clever. It will deliver a message. Change minds. Persuade people. It will make something easier to use, make it fun. It's beautiful and will evoke emotion. It can set you apart. By using an intelligent mix of identity, print, web and digital design I am able to deliver m

eaningful results that will engage with your target audience. I approach each design challenge with curiosity and an open mind, making sure I understand your needs, and questioning them when appropriate. Working together is the key to achieving a brilliant outcome. I am fortunate to work with a broad range of clients – big and small – including arts organisations, charities, corporates, universities, hospitality, medicos, recruitment and technology firms. The diversity inspires me. It keeps my work interesting. It enables me to appreciate how design will add value to business. In addition to my design practice I am an active member of the design and education community. I am professional member of the Australian Graphic Design Association (AGDA), and a former AGDA Queensland Councillor. I also lecture Communication Design at Billy Blue College of Design in Brisbane. Working with young designers keeps me on my toes.

Some great thoughts on working as an independent designer, many of which are borne out in my own experience. Juggling tasks and wearing many hats is a given, but – in this age of data and hard evidence – in important to recognise the role that instinct plays. A good read, and not just for designers.

As part of a special focus on freelance designers, we share advice from industry figures such as Emily Forgot and Ben Tallon on how to be successful.

One of my favourite, work-related, Christmas traditions is to make the time to visit clients in person. I spent this morning doing the rounds, dropping in with a small gift to show my appreciation for their continued business and support. All too often during the year conversations focus on the task…
