Graphic design is art that is both aesthetically pleasing and has a practical purpose.

Areas of interests:

I am currently interested in package design, logo/Brand design, and web design. I want work in those lines of work because you have the opportunity to be creative and innovative but still making a decent amount of money.

Package design is something that has staying power we are always going to need to pack and hold products and designing a new and interesting design will help to sell your product. Also I like the idea of creating designs for items that will make people choose that product, I know for myself at least how the package looks plays a big part in whether I choose one product of another, better looking designs tend to mean the company put more work into the product so it’s going to be of better quality.

I like logo/Brand designing because the brand design is the very identity of the business or product. I particularity like logo designing because logos are very iconic, quite literally they are icons, even if someone doesn’t quite remember what the name of an organization is they will remember the logo.

Web design is of course a field of work that is very upcoming and popular, I Have taken a web design and construction class and I liked having the ability to design something that I can change on a moment’s notice and not really have to go through the whole process of reprinting something. As many of the modern world uses computers and internet there is a need for websites and having a professional looking site is a big advantage to those that don’t
