My name is Jory Dayne. I'm a graphic designer and illustrator living in Utah, in a vale between a lake and some very large Mountains. I like it very much.
I studied the German language and graphic design at university, and have since spent the majority of my career designing for print and screen, creating comprehensive marketing campaigns for organizations that I believe in. I prefer to work for good people who hold themselves accountable to their audience and their community.
Professionally, my primary interests are community stewardship, sustainable living, and social justice; my secondary, personal interests are blackletter, Hermetica, and '80s cartoons. If you're a potential client whose project involves all six: do call me, I'll probably work with you for free.
My freelance studio consists of myself, a rotating crew of talented guns, and a small, bossy dachshund named Hexl.
I am currently booked and unavailable
to start new projects.

kind words:
“Beautiful work, and thanks for representing my home state in fine fashion. You are proof good design happens between the coasts.”
—Stephen Coles, typographic juggernaut
“From the
very first point of contact, Jory was extremely accommodating and
helpful in working through the business and creative aspects of the
project … I've
been very impressed with Jory's attention to detail and willingness to
throw ideas back and forth with me and the results have been nothing
but fantastic. ”
— Cristopher Dowling, editor & art director, printed
This is a personal website, operated by me, Jory Dayne. The opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone, and probably do not represent the views of any of my various employers. It has been in continual existence since November of 2001 — the archives have long since become closed stacks, but if you're looking for something in particular, let me know.
For this iteration, I was inspired by the hand-tuned finesse of sites like Aegir Hallmundur's Ministry of Type, and Jason Santa Maria's eponymous tour de force.

In addition to this blog, I curate a sprawling site of arcane monochromatic artwork, called The Major Arcana. So, if you're a fan of exquisite, recondite imagery, various dread sigils, and the occasional spot of kitsch, I'd suggest you check it out. You'll find all entries cited with original authorship and their corresponding source links.
And in addition to that I contribute to a Utah food blog called The Noble Beasts. It's a collective blog exploring our experiences eating locally, cooking and making, and striving to be responsible food consumers — all while trying not develop monstrous chips on our shoulders, or becoming those people. It's good fun.
a note on communication
I've made myself available via email, twitter, or by phone, so feel free to drop me a line regarding just about anything. However, I'm a big fan of signal over noise, so why don't we just keep our Facebooks and our Linkedins to ourselves?
