​​CHRISTIAN D. LEAF / BIO

I’ve been an art director and designer going on too many years. In that time I’ve created numerous brand logos, campaigns, brand standards and even credit cards. In fact, if you have a Capital One credit card, odds are I’ve worked on the files, talked to vendors and been on the press check. From inspiration, conception, presentation and finally, communication with the vendor, that type of immersion is part and parcel with me. If you’re looking for a thorough chap, I’m your huckleberry.

As an illustrator, I’ve created posters, beer labels and comic books.
My most recent comic work can be found in the TELLOS Tribute Books and I’m currently working on the next volume of SAVAGE LYRICS for local RVA publisher Sink/Swim Press. Champion Brewing regularly features my art and design on posters and labels. Strangeways Brewing has also been a client.

I also write and have been published, but the bulk of my recent writing has been design standards. The biggest feather would be writing the book on credit card design for Capital One. If you ever want to know the difference between embossing and debossing, have I got a book
for you...
