Joe Duke Jordan

Joe Duke Jordan is a multidisciplinary creative who recently completed a Foundation Diploma in Media and Design at Ravensbourne University London. Their work blends visual storytelling, animation, and editing, often driven by emotional themes, urban culture, and personal experience.

Their final project, Reimagined, is a bold and expressive animation that channels chaos, creativity, and growth. Using glitch-inspired effects and surreal characters, the work tells the story of an idea on the edge of being forgotten, brought back to life by a ‘creative god’ figure. The piece explores how ideas, like people, can be saved, transformed, and reimagined into something meaningful. It reflects the artist’s core belief that no idea is ever wasted, only waiting to be developed.

Looking ahead, Jordan aim to continue creating personal yet widely relatable work that taps into youth culture, mental health, and self-expression. Whether through content creation, editing, or design, they are focused on developing a style that feels authentic, experimental, and emotionally resonant.

Reimagined – Jordon's animation about creative self expression and not wasting ideas because they can all turn out to become creative.

Watermelon Advertisement Animation – Jordon's watermelon advert. It’s fast and snappy and uses different motions to capture the different aspects of watermelons.

Stained Glass Hermit Card – Jordon created these stained glass playing cards using bright, vibrant colours and varied glass textures to enhance their authenticity. This card, “The Hermit,” features a wizard-like character designed to appear walking through a valley.

Stained Glass Death Card – This Death card design was also created by Jordon, who aimed to preserve the theme of death while avoiding the typical dark and gloomy aesthetic. Instead, they embraced the stained glass medium by using vibrant colours to create a striking juxtaposition between their interpretation and the traditional card.

Digital Character Collage – Jordon created a pop art–inspired, cartoon-style collage featuring original characters imagined from their own ideas, using bright colours and a mix of detailed and simplified line work.
