Meet Richard Frohnerath
Art Director
Education:
St. Petersburg College, University of South Florida
Lives in:
Clearwater, FL
Philosophy:
Design today should be like the creation of great artworks during our history: a collaboration between the artist and the patron. The great challenge (and joy) of this collaboration is getting both parties to a unified vision. This is especially true in today’s business world, where the focus has shifted from “what we produce” to “what you want.”
Inspiration:
I enjoy drawing inspiration from Asian art, especially Japanese woodblock prints. A lot of the visual vocabulary established in that tradition can be directly translated into more modern designs.
I am also inspired by the great American entrepreneurial spirit. Although the media is saturated with news of the corporate juggernauts, I was surprised to learn that a majority of the number of businesses in our country are small businesses, independent business owners, and contractors. We are the many gears which drive this impressive machine.

I am always up for the challenge of creating new and different eye-catching designs that invoke the user to interact with the product, whether it’s for use in print or on the web. I believe all designs should be clean, simple, and intuitive.

Apple, AT&T, & Starbucks are three companies that I admire for their clean, creative, and effective advertising and design efforts.
