TABS IN MY HEAD.DESIGN IN MYMY HANDS.
Tom Jacob. Digital & print designer.
Brands. Websites. Print.
With head and hands.
I THINK IN IDEAS.
NOT IN BOXES.
BRAND. WEB. PRINT.
AND ALL IN BETWEEN.
I bring design and technology together. So a good idea turns into more than a pretty draft.
(WORK)
5 projects. Pretty
different challenges.
WHAT I DO.
Design and build.
With an eye for the whole.
(01)
I create logos and identities around a clear concept. So form, typography and application fit together.
Adobe Creative Cloud / Affinity / Figma
(02)
Design and development with Astro and GSAP. Plus Instatic, and still WordPress with Bricks and ACPT.
Astro / GSAP / Instatic / WordPress / Bricks / ACPT
(03)
From first draft to finished product: prepress, color management and large-format signage.
Prepress / Color management / Production
(04)
Not every idea fits in a box. When a project needs something new, I learn it. That’s how Blender came along for NÜA.
Concept / Motion / New tools
CURRENTLY
OPEN TABS.
My own apps, moving type and new dimensions.
This is where I try out whatever won’t leave my head.
SCREENSHOTS THAT EXPLAIN.
My screenshot app for macOS and Windows. Capture, annotate and share. I’m building its website with Astro and GSAP.

NOTES. IN THE FLOW.
My second app: efflow is a notes app and still a work in progress. The App Store is the plan.
SEE THE WIP
DON’T JUST LOOK. FEEL.
How can motion support an idea? This is where I experiment with typography, transitions and little reactions to your mouse.
FROM WIREFRAME TO SURFACE.
Form, material and light. My start in Blender began with NÜA. The next experiment is still open.
VIEW PROJECTNot every experiment becomes a project. But each one makes the next tab more exciting.
THE TOM
BEHIND IT.
Designer from Germany.
With lots of tabs in my head and
the drive to make something of them.
I like ideas that start in my head and make a difference out there. With curiosity, an eye for the whole and quite a few open tabs.
Eintracht in my heart. Pixels in sight.
Music, sports and usually
the next idea.
EINTRACHT.
Only Eintracht.
MUSIC.
XXXTentacion & Ski Mask the Slump God on repeat.
MOVEMENT.
I automated it.
MY FAVORITE PART: THE POLISH.
JUST ONE MORE
LITTLE THING.
When “almost”
becomes “exactly.”
Once the idea is set, I go after the details: How does the type sit? How does the motion feel? What does the material do to the design? I test and tweak until everything clicks.
NAILED IT.
For the spots where you notice:
Someone actually thought this through.
