Graphic design is a way of visually communicating through images and typography.

 

Graphic Design is a visual expression of ideas placed on just about anything: shirts, business cards, envelopes, stationary etc. It also gets other people to see the same vision in different ways.

Career Interests

• Corporate Design – I believe that corporate design would be a good fit for me because you need to stay consistent with the company’s visual identity and it would also allow for the work done to be completely pressed upon the public’s minds. I have always thought that sometimes simplicity is nice and it gets the message across quickly, and that is what I’ve seen a lot in some of corporate designs.

• Book Design – Designing for books would also work for me not only because of my love for books, but also knowing that you helped make that book happen, even though they are more and more electronic readers.

• Book Jacket Design – This would also work for me because of my love for books and reading and I always thought that looking at the cover of a book really can give you insight as to what’s inside the book.

• Signage Design – I know that I always get lost or don’t always know where I’m going while driving and I’m not alone. Making signs to tell people where to go would not only help myself but it would be help to all the other people that need to know where to go. Sometimes going into small towns you see those “Welcome to…” signs and they’re elaborate and fun looking and to me that just seems like a great way to do some work.

• Brand and Identity Design – Making logos has always been something that’s been fun and interesting for me through high school. Using Illustrator to create something that you will see on everything that company has to produce is a good feeling. Looking at it and saying “I did that” has always been something that will put a smile on my face and make everything worth while.
