My name is Jack Manto and I am currently a sophomore at the College of New Jersey. I’m majoring in graphic design but I consider myself to be a graphic designer, digital marketer, and artist. I am a hardworking creative individual that is determined to always see things through.
I have a diverse set of skills in the art’s and have self taught myself the programs of Adobe Lightroom, Paint Tool Sai, Clip Studio, and Adobe Photoshop.
I have worked on New Jersey Department of Education’s Student Art Installation Project where I created a piece of art for the “Hope, Healing, and Resilience Through the Covid-19 Pandemic” installation.” My artwork resides on the New Jersey Department of Education’s website where people can see and appreciate it.
At the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey I was a part of the Quarantine-Zine Program where I created original art to be presented in their newsletter. The works are composed of various different mediums including digital, acrylic paint, watercolor, and oil paint highlighting my versatility when it comes to the arts.
In Highschool I was a part of National Art Honors Society (NAHS) where I held an officer position as a Market Supervisor. I volunteered and hosted the NAHS Holiday Shop where I managed sales at the register for purchases of merchandise created by local New Jersey artists. I also participated in the NAHS Memory Project where I created a self-portrait inspirational piece for a child in a less fortunate country, with my year being focused in Nigeria.
At Rutgers University I was a part of the Rutgers Art and Design Club (R.A.D.), Thrift Club, as well as Rutgers Creative Expressions.
I was born and raised in New Jersey and I currently reside in Princeton, New Jersey but am open to exploring the world to pursue new possibilities.
