Maar weinig hoogvliegers van dit formaat: DM kent hij als zijn broekzak, copy en beeld tot juweeltjes slijpen is zijn vak. Als in een kat-en-muisspel gooit hij, duwt hij, trekt hij, speelt hij met vormen en teksten en ballonnen en kleuren. Tot iedereen in de pas loopt en zich netjes schikt, klaar om de consument te verleiden. En we kunnen getuigen: met tienduizenden waren ze de afgelopen jaren, om op zijn avances in te gaan. Met charme, maar vooral met vakkennis wist Jan hen over de streep te trekken, keer op keer." Bert Van Uytsel, Touring Lannoo   "Jan is iemand die zijn vak door en door kent en kan spelen met typografie en layout tot het ontwerp goed zit om een maximale respons te creëren."
