Graphic Design
Graphic Design is the ability to turn an idea into a visual story. In order for the final product to be effective the image needs to communicate a point, or story line. If the symbol, type, size, color, etc. doesn’t flow, the design is ineffective. Graphic design is found everywhere in our world. Down to the logo on our shirts, the billboards on the highway, to the bathroom signs in a restaurant. The design can be simple and clean and convey a type of style that can be understood in a certain way. Others are in your face, bold, and convey a more dramatic meaning. It is ever changing because graphic design depends on the purpose and goal message.

Quotes
“Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose.” – Charles Eames
“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
“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
“Content precedes design. Design in the absence of content is not design, it’s decoration.” – Jeffrey Zeldman
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, painting, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable, originality is non-existent.” – Jim Jarmush
“It’s not where you take things from-its where you take them to.” -Jean-Luc Godard
