Academic and D&AD History - Majoring in Illustration

At university she majored in illustration and had the opportunity to develop a style which reflects her interest in the grotesque, surrealism and black comedy. She likes playing with people’s emotions, notions of reality, and the idea of taboos. Her images are vibrant, symbolic / shambolic bold vector illustrations that continue to change and evolve.

Jaki Jo's 'Self Portrait' illustration project won first prize in its category at the 2008 'D&AD Student Awards'. This work was also featured in the 'D&AD New Blood Design 2008' exhibition and was part of a presentation she gave at a London 'Pecha Kucha' night.


"Her intellect, shockingly perverse mind and wonderful use of colour. She has a career ahead of her." Jonathan Ellery, Browns

"Quality, humour, perverseness, gleefulness and risk." Paul Davis, Paul Davis Studio

"Humour, exection and originality made the winner stand out. I felt it was clear and concise and commercial despite the subject matter." Katy Baggott, Katy Baggott Ltd

"Very high quality." Matt Willey, Studio8 Design

"Just over two years ago a D&AD Student Awards jury was blown away by Jaki Jo Hannan's intellect, shockingly perverse mind and wonderful use of colour. Two months later she blew away another crowd of people at the New Blood Pecha Kucha, her performance adding the qualities charismatic, extrovert and hilariously funny to the list of her attributes. There is no way that someone of her personality, confidence, charm and downright talent isn't going to go far." Lauren Woodroffe, D&AD
