aboutme_animation

Hello Reader!

I am Jakob Gruber, a full-time graphic design student at HTBLuVA Salzburg, where I constantly explore my passion for creating visually compelling designs. Whether it’s graphic design, 3D rendering, animations, or typography, I love to dive into different styles and techniques. For me, every project is an opportunity to innovate and push the boundaries of creativity.

Born in April 2007, I live in Henndorf am Wallersee with my parents and brother. When I'm not designing, I like to spend my time engaging in activities that keep me balanced. I've been an enthusiastic volleyball player for the past six years, competing at a club level. It’s a great way to stay active and work as part of a team. Additionally, I'm an avid reader, particularly drawn to cheesy romances and captivating novels.

My friends often describe me as someone who's always in a positive mood—resilient and hard to bring down. I strive to stay focused, putting in my best effort when I want to achieve something. My values revolve around being responsible, honest, and reliable in all aspects of life, whether in my personal relationships or professional commitments.

When it comes to my design style, I would sum it up in five words: bold, emotional, straightforward, experimental (sometimes), and happy. My approach often leans toward creating designs that are not only visually striking but also evoke a sense of emotion and connection. If you'd like to see my creative process in action, feel free to explore more of my work here.

that is me
