It’s time for another artist interview here at digital-artist-toolbox and this time the graphic designer is Jens Sjobergh. Jens is an extremely talented designer who has done work for Sony, UNICEF, Universal Studios, Warner Bros and many more. He has quite an impressive portfolio that is sure to dazzle and inspire you. I love how many of Jens’ designs incorporate a striking contrast between hard grungy textures and soft cosmic glows. One fact I find most inspiring is that he is self-taught with no formal training in the classical arts, reminding us that it’s not about papers and pedigree but imagination and hard work.
