About Me
Welcome, my name is Nathan Clarke and I am a Graphic Designer. My passion lies in creating visually compelling designs that communicate effectively. I admire the conceptual side of Graphic design and create things with intent and emotion behind them. Whether it be branding, typography, posters, book covers, or packaging, the emotional aspect behind each design captivates me and drives my creative process.
Designs
Reach To You
Reach to You is a suspenseful book about lost connection. This book's cover uses a near-black palette- and compressed composition to convey density. Instead of relying on large areas of negative space, the darkness becomes the unifying field. Fragmented and skewed typography surrounding the composition to destabilize the visual language of “love.” The Reach to You text remains the only clearly legible anchor. This contrast in readability establishes hierarchy and directs the eye with intention. The reaching hand functions as both focal point and directional cue, its gesture cutting through the dark field to suggest connection without resolution. The overall design communicates tension through imbalance, controlled legibility, and visual weight rather than overt symbolism.
Otter Water
Built around the otter mark, this stationery uses into soft blues and floating bubble secondary elements to create a sense of calm and movement while conveying the water park company
Fix't App
The Fix't application is designed with for simplified repair instructions for what is normally a high-stress situation. The high-clarity minimalist design is anchored by a singular, professional blue that evokes technical reliability. A soft gradient transitioning from clean white to the brand’s signature blue serves as a visual metaphor for the repair process—moving from the blank state of a broken device toward a functional, blue-sky solution. The interface prioritizes a calm user experience by stripping extra elements to provide instructions that are seamless.
The Mainstreaming of Japanese Pop Culture in the USA
This poster presents a six-decade timeline of the influence of Japanese media on American culture. The composition is structured in a clockwise progression around the composition. Full-color characters emerge from each corner including Astro Boy ascending, Mario climbing his ladder, Pikachu energized, Naruto in motion, a Titan breaking through the wall, and Tanjiro cutting forward. These serve as both visual anchors and directional guides. Each era is set in a typeface drawn from its associated series, with headers color-matched to their corresponding text boxes to reinforce hierarchy and cohesion. Against a black field, contrast, movement, and corner tension unify the composition into a continuous generational narrative.
