A course by Jon Contino
Jon Contino is a graphic designer, illustrator, and creative director of CONTINO branding studio from New York City. He first discovered his passion for graphic design and illustration when he was a teenager in a rock band, and realized that banks needed demo covers, t-shirt, and flyer designs. Throughout his university career, he reached out to local businesses for graphic design services. By the time he finished university, he had a full portfolio, which led him to create his own design studio.
Through his branding studio, he has produced award-winning work for household names like Hulu, Google, AT&T, Coca-Cola, and Nike. In 2018, Jon published his first book, Brand by Hand, in partnership with Abrams Books. At the heart of his work, his aim is to create original designs by hand and develop a brand’s visual language with a human touch.
