"Jamison Lung is a trans designer born in Philadelphia and based in Brooklyn. Her upbringing and the historical curiosities it formed naturally lend to her penchant for critical examination through design. "I embrace the degenerative digital texture of the internet, imbuing an abrasive and imperfect quality to my work," Jamison says. "I want to push the limits of legibility, disorienting the reader into considering a new perspective.""
"Jamison's compositions with Ethics Magazine, a collaboration between herself and True, see type snaking around the page and with unconventional placement, and shape. Writings on American history see the page marked in bullet holes - leaving stark reminders of dark moments - placed alongside playful experimentations surrounding themes of belonging, identity, and lines of internet chatter."
"One page reads 'He only knows my swag, not my lore'. Both in print and digital ly, Jamison maintains a steady tonal and typographical balance. There is a sense of boundless play present in Jamison's work, informed by her gravitation towards satire and the deconstruction of language: "Nothing is particularly sacred and nothing lasts forever!" she says."
Jamison Lung is a trans designer born in Philadelphia and based in Brooklyn. Her upbringing and historical curiosities inform a penchant for critical examination through design. She embraces degenerative digital texture, imbuing abrasive, imperfect qualities and pushing legibility to disorient readers and prompt new perspectives. Her work with Ethics Magazine, a collaboration with True, features type snaking across unconventional shapes and placements and pages marked with bullet holes that juxtapose playful experiments on belonging, identity, and internet chatter. She maintains tonal and typographical balance across print and digital, favors satire and deconstruction, collaborates frequently, and is creating a film-cum-publication called 'Trans-fem Noir.'
