A good idea
deserves to
be seen.
Illustrated stories. Memorable characters. Design with something to say.
I’m Joseph. This is a collection of my illustration, poster and publication work, brought together in a world you can explore.
A few ways to tell a story
From the first sketch
to the whole page.
The collection spans illustration and practical design. These are the disciplines you’ll find in the work.

Joseph
W. Anady.
That Graphic Design Guy is my illustration and graphic design portfolio, and a brand of THATDEVELOPERGUY LLC.
The work here moves between illustrated stories, character studies, posters and editorial layouts. The surrounding fantasy world is another way to invite you into the collection.
Our shared company record lives at FeedTheJoe. It connects the founder, the brands and the existing organizational profiles.
How we begin
Give the idea
a direction.
A clear brief is the beginning of useful design.
Share the brief
Tell me the purpose, audience, format and intended date. Bring your copy, dimensions and references.
Agree on the work
We discuss the visual direction, scope, schedule, cost and deliverables for your particular project.
Develop and refine
The design takes shape through the agreed review stages, with final files prepared for the formats in the brief.
Before we begin
A few useful
answers.
What can I explore in the portfolio?
The collection contains biblical illustration, fantasy sequential art, an original graphic designer character, posters, an editorial cover and real estate publication layouts. Every project has a page showing the actual selected artwork.
How do I start a design conversation?
Email the organizational contact with your idea, where the design will be used, any required dimensions and your intended date. Include existing copy or visual references if you have them. Scope, availability, price and deliverables are discussed for the particular project.
Who is behind That Graphic Design Guy?
Joseph W. Anady is the designer behind this portfolio. That Graphic Design Guy is a brand of THATDEVELOPERGUY LLC. FeedTheJoe maintains the shared organizational record, founder information and company profile links.
Can I browse without the moving world?
Yes. The project pages show the artwork without an animated background. In the living world, use Pause motion or your device’s reduced-motion setting. The gallery also provides category filters and full-size image links.
Is the fantasy setting an official game website?
No. The surrounding world is an unofficial fan experience inspired by Final Fantasy IX. The portfolio also includes a personal illustrated adaptation of The Eye of the World. Referenced fictional worlds and characters belong to their respective rights holders; these studies do not imply endorsement.
