Brief Summary

I am Jose Lopez  an experienced Art Director specialized in managing successful projects.

I was born in Spain, but I spend my childhood between Switzerland and Spain. Thanks to these two cultures and educations, I have a good balance between coming up with superb concepts and managing projects with accuracy.

During my professional career of over 15 years,  I´ve worked in both the public and private sector and performed a wide-range of problem solving, from visual design to information architecture and Elearning.

As an Art Director and founder of the visual studio LopezMarcos Design,  I´ve directed social media campaigns for European Union governmental organizations , Spanish government, Community of Madrid government, the spanish social organizations FMFCE, ASAJA and AFAMER and the universities and foundations CUNEF, universidad autónoma de Madrid, universidad complutense de Madrid, etc…

Above all I love to draw, paint, illustrate, design, develop … I LOVE TO CREATE

Besides creating, my other great passion is travel, travel allows me to meet people, experience different cultures and amazing places. I find it very exciting  to speak with people from other places and to exchange ideas and habits. Together with my wife we have traveled through the five continents, we are just lacking to visit the grand sixth continent “The Antarctic”, I´m sure someday we´ll achieve it.

And finally, I feel it´s very important to stay healthy for both the mind and the body. So, I ´ve been practicing Judo for 20 years, I have obtain 2nd DAN black belt and I´m member of the Spanish Federation of Judo.

Above all I love to draw, paint, illustrate, design, develop … I LOVE TO CREATE
Besides creating, my other great passion is travel, travel alows me to meet people, experience
diferent cultures and amazing places. I find it very exciting to speak with people from other places
and to exchange ideas and habits. Together with my wife we have traveled through the five
continents, we are just lacking to visit the grand sixth continent “The Antarctic”, I´m sure someday

My goal as an Art Director is to create
simply superb solutions for print, web &
new media.
Combining strategic thinking, innovative design, and a broad expertise to achieve our clients’
goals. Applying a collaborative process to deliver original and effective design solutions that are
carefully planned and exceptionally well executed.
Designing & Developing digital solutions that are fun, usable, technologically challenging, visually
exciting and/or quirky.
And eventually applying the full force of our strategic, artistic, and technological knowledge to
implement on every project in order to achieve work success.


My role as an Art Director Design in each of
the projects is the following:
To arrange the meeting with the client and oversee the client briefing.
To generate original ideas and produce prototypes, storyboards or sketches of ideas.
And finally to present ideas to the team client.
THEN, when the ideas are accepted by the team client
To develop the visual concept and to solve problems conceptually together with the creative director.
To manage the creative team, graphic designers, illustrators, photographers, copies, etc.
To oversee the visual material such as photos, graphics, illustrations, videos, etc.
And eventually to oversee the final edit of the entire project for the final presentation to the client.


When a project lands in my hands, I always
think about the people that will become part
of the projects success.
