Who makes VISUAL?
Jairo
(hi-ro) Arango, a seasoned creative director and designer, brings a multidisciplinary perspective to the creation of VISUAL magazine from years of working at television stations, periodicals, his marketing communications consultancy, and advertising agencies.
Excellent design needs the support of business to make it happen.
One critical role of VISUAL
is to create links between the creative and business sectors.
