Making the simple complicated is commonplace; but, making
the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity. Charles Mingus
Based in Cape Town, South Africa, Athlordian Design Studio started out as the dream and the brainchild of Francois JvR, our owner and creative genius extraordinaire. Francois has always been very creative, whether it is with one of his beloved cameras, graphic design software or just a sketchpad and a pencil.
In 2007 he decided to start up Athlordian Design Studio as a professional outlet for his creativity. He lives by the motto "choose a job that you love, and you'll never have to work a day in your life" and this positive and pleasant attitude reflects in all of his works.
As the owner of Athlordian Design Studio, he has a very hands-on approach with what we do and has absolutely no problem assisting with the designing of logos or hitting the road for a photo shoot with a client. He takes great pride in what he does and can often be seen making minor adjustments to our projects, until he's happy with them, because if he likes the design, the client usually agrees.
Francois has had his work featured in magazines, in-house publications, online publications, brochures and various other outlets on the internet. He regularly designs promo posters for a number of Cape Town's entertainment venues and for his friends in the music industry. He was also solely responsible for designing and developing the knowledge base for the UK branch of an American company called SEI CCS.
