Design Interests

My Start
When I was in high school I concentrated on studio art and photography. Since I started college I wanted to find a career that would combine all my interest such as photography, illustration, and design. As I talked to people about Graphic Design the more I became intrigued. I have always been creative and people kept telling me to pursue my passion.  Two areas of Graphic Design that interest me is Publication Design and Advertising Design.

Publication Design
Publication design has interested me more than other ares in the past and the present. I love looking at magazines (fashion, travel, home improvement, and other), newspapers and see how pictures and text come together to form a unified layout. It also makes me wonder how they choose what photographs go together or what color combinations they use to make the pages stand out to readers. I admire the designers abilities to present the periodicals in a way that’s unique and pleasing to the eye.

Advertising Design
Advertising Design has been around me as long as I can remember. No matter where I look it is there and it makes me wonder how do all these ads make themselves stand out from others. What makes them a good add and what story are they trying to tell? I like to see how photos and text were manipulated to represent that product. Some advertising I look at over and over and they can inspire a new ideas such as a character for my next project.
