Jim Ford is an accomplished type designer and visual artist living and working in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He studied art and design, graduating in 2005 with a BFA in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago. While honing his craft as a type designer, Ford also forayed into poster art, creating silkscreened editions for shows and events. Around this time, Ford developed his collage techniques further and began moving toward abstraction. Striking a harmonious balance between art and type, Ford continues to evolve as a dynamic creative person.
