Dr. Jerry Johnson
Professor, Chairman
Department of Art and Design
Jerry Johnson is a professor of graphic design at Troy University in Troy. He currently serves as the Chairman of the Department of Art and Design where great strides are being made in trans-disciplinary instruction. It is an expected pursuit of TROY art/design students to compliment their graphic design program with an added field of study such as business management, marketing, journalism, writing, information systems, or even edutainment to name a few.
Mr. Johnson has taught at Oklahoma State University and then Southern Arkansas University where he birthed a new design program and then later served as chairman of that department for over nine years. Although Mr. Johnson’s background is mostly in academia, he has worked in a multiplicity of art fields. As a fine artist, his work has received recognition at national and international juried events. As an author and composer, his music has charted in the top ten nationally. As a graphic designer, he has worked for many local to international clients one of which was Special Olympics International where Mr. Johnson created an identity for their Unified Sports Division. Additionally, one of Mr. Johnson’s corporate identity solutions received an Award of Design Excellence and was featured in the book “American Corporate Identity 6.” Most recently, Mr. Johnson has been the recipient of numerous ADDY Awards from the Montgomery Advertising Federation.
Jerry Johnson now resides in Troy, Alabama with his wife Lana and their two teenage children- Nikki and Aaron.
