This is what the Oakley CEO said about Jannard:
"What I can tell you about Jim is that he is more of a creative force than he is a businessman, and he is a pretty darn good businessman.
He authored the slogans, did the advertisements, shot the photos, directed and shot the commercials, invented the technology (over 600 patents worldwide) and designed the products by himself for the first 20 or so years of Oakley. He was a one man creative wrecking crew. He set the tempo of Oakley thinking and philosophy and taught the current designers what to do. He provided the vision for all that was and is Oakley.
It is easy to see his hand at RED cameras. I'm quite sure that it is the same there as it was at Oakley. I have heard that Jim wrote the original color science for the camera. That is no surprise to me. There is no doubt that the modular system for EPIC was his idea. My bet is that he is guiding the entire creative process at RED just as he did here at Oakley.
Colin Baden, CEO Oakley."
