Jerman Design Incorporated: 20th Anniversary

August 8th marks the 20th anniversary of the incorporation of Steven R. "Steve" Jerman's graphic design studio. For twenty years now the company has handled hundreds of projects for a wide range of commercial clients.

Steve Jerman began graphic design and merchandising projects while at Utah State University and continued working with colleagues and agencies until the business was incorporated in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In 1996 that company was merged in to Jerman's imprinted sportswear venture, Natty Threads, Inc, which was re-named to court a wider range of business opportunities. Books, magazines, merchandise, apparel and corporate identities have been among the specialties produced.

Since 1988 the company has won over two dozen awards for excellence. Many projects have become long-lived local icons, causing a Salt Lake Tribune In magazine writer to say "His (Jerman's) creations seem to become part of Salt Lake history"

Mr. Jerman has been called an "All-around creative brain", "A local personality" and "a name often dropped in the SLC scene over the past two decades," by the Utah media. Currently Jerman Design ranks among the most established and capable sole-operator graphic design businesses in Utah.

Collector's Abode: Designer fills his space with eccentricities, old and new

From In Utah This Week: Steve Jerman has been a name often dropped in the SLC scene over the past two decades. The graphic designer and all-around creative brain has designed such recognizable mainstays as the bestselling KRCL “Lion of Zion” T-shirt and the poster design for the Downtown Alliance’s Farmer’s Market.

Jerman’s Highland-area home holds as big a breadth of collectables as his expertise. To name a few, he’s worked in book design, merchandising and entrepreneurship (with clothing company Natty Threads and a gig making journals from old record covers), and has managed to gather hundreds of art pieces along the way.

Among some of his possessions: an original, 1940s print of the book On Desert Trails with Everett Ruess (worth about $150), a Grateful Dead themed painting Jerman commissioned from a college friend, and an autographed Evel Knievel poster. Each piece proves different from the next, making it hard to establish a theme at first throughout the collection. But Jerman has it figured out–frugality stands as his No. 1 decorating strategy.

“I never pay more than $100 for my personal art, and I usually find them in places like garage sales,” he said.

Other pieces in the home hold more sentimental than monetary value, such as the “World’s Greatest Father” statue his son gave him, an ancient Mac monitor he couldn’t bare to toss out and an art project he completed at the age of 9: a brown popsicle painted on a rock.

The house harbors as much character as the artifacts within. The kitchen holds its original ‘50s style with yellow walls, white cabinets and older appliances. The bathroom takes another step back in time, with teal tile on the walls and floor, and chrome hardware accompanying the white appliances. The rest of the rooms are simpler in furniture and color, letting the artwork do the decorating.

“It used to be an ‘old lady’ house. I took down lots of wallpaper and removed carpet,” Jerman explained.
