Graphic Design is…

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Perspective:

Graphic design is art with a purpose. To create things such as posters, bookdcovers, brochures etc with your imagination. It involves a creative way to solve a problem or create a beautiful piece of art, with the use of images, symbols or even words. It is visual communication and the expression of concepts and ideas using various graphic elements and tools.

Areas of Interest:

Advertising (Logos): I think Advertisement is something id be interested in because its a way to express your artistic ability through commercials, billboards, magazines, etc. Have you ever seen a commercial and thought “I can do better than that!” Growing up my mom would get sick of me yelling that while watching T.V. I believe Advertisement would be an awesome career, because when your idea is a huge hit, it could instantly go viral. And I believe I have many creative ideas for any ordinary tv commercial.

Type Design: I also think Type design would be very interesting when creating new fonts and awesome typography. illustrator grew on me over the past year, and all of a sudden i found myself writing my name is weird and wacky fonts. This definitely isn’t my first choice, but when in doubt, it would be a very exciting career.

and last but not least,

Brand and Identity Design: My absolute favorite, once I returned home from Vail, Colorado I had took out my folder full of brochures and stickers from all the ski mountains i had conquered over the time of being there, and i had thought to myself, what if I created these logos for these impeccable mountains? So there I was drawing for hours these made up ski mountain logos but none of them really excited me. Until I thought of snowboards, and how interesting and absolutely awesome it would be if I designed snowboards for some huge brand company such as Burton, the house, or even Volcom for that matter. So for my first choice, brand design would be the best career choice for me, not only because of my love for snowboarding, but for the excitement i would feel every time i completed a new design for people to shred with.
