Graphic Design is…
life, art, everywhere, inspiration, important, key, forever, my world, my away of expressing myself, bold, simplicity, work, rewarding, visualizing, thinking, physical, electric, print, love, passion, adventure, the place to be, the way to go, putting a smile on someone’s face, beautiful, turning someone’s dreams into reality, imagination, working together, a part of history, futuristic, forever evolving, always there, changing the way you think, about the client, problematic, pleasing to the eye, different for everyone, sharing ideas, bringing people together, opening a world of possibilities, displeasing, different, success, a career, admitting defeat, never giving up, always being a few steps ahead, taking one step forward and three steps back, accomplishing a new goal, not being afraid to bend the rules, setting the bar higher and higher.
Graphic Design is a way of relaying information and ideas in a visual way. It is an expression of ideas from boy the designer and the client. While it does include a lot of work, the end result of the client being happy with the work you’ve done and walking out the door, not only with a smile on their face but also ready to say great things about what you’ve done. That is what totally rewarding about the stress that can be encountered as a designer. Putting something unique together to be displayed in a magazine, book, stationary set or anything is graphic design. No matter how simple, or how complex it is.
