Graphic Design is all around us. It is on our food, our clothing, our appliances, everything! A world without graphic design would be like a blank canvas, all the walls would be bare, our food would be boring, our clothes would all look the same, there would be no personal expression, and there would be no need for art in any matter. Graphic design is what makes everything unique and special in its own way. It is what catches your eye when you are walking down the street, it is what makes you want to try a new restaurant, it even helps you choose what brand of pasta you want to buy. It can be clean and simple, but it can also be “messy” and unique. One of the main things that I truly love about graphic design, is that no matter what you choose to do, there is no wrong way. Sure, it might not please everybody, but very little work does. I love art that has no boundaries, and is unlike other works of art. To me, graffiti is a type of art, but many people look at it and say that it’s dirty, but it’s all up to your own interpretation.

“There are three responses to a piece of design – yes, no, and WOW! Wow is the one to aim for.” -Milton Glaser
“The public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with. The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring.” -Paul Rand
“It’s through mistakes that you actually can grow. You have to get bad in order to get good.” -Paula Scher
“Good design is all about making other designers feel like idiots because that idea wasn’t theirs.” -Frank Chimero
“A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
