Design Interests

I have always been more of the artsy and creative type ever since I was little! It also happens to run in the family! I have always been told that I have an eye for detail and notice things most people would just walk by. I am not too sure what I want to do as a Graphic Design major but I picture myself living in the city when I graduate creating beautiful things! I also hope to do an internship out in LA.

Anyways, one area of Graphic Design that I found interesting is Advertising (logos). You see hundreds of logos every day without even realizing it! Logos are extremely important – yet so simple. Companies take great pride in their logos as they represent the company and this is how people recognize them! Such as Nike and Adidas, everyone knows of these logos as they are extremely popular all around the world. Logos are extremely essential so that they grab your attention and have you interested.

Another area of Graphic Design that I found interesting is Book Design. We often hear the phrase “Don’t judge a book by its cover” – but lets be real, we all do. When there is a book with an amazing front cover, it catches your attention even if it is an awful book to read. Whereas a book with a terribly designed front cover could be an amazing book to read but it is not striking enough to catch the readers attention so they won’t even bother looking into it. If you are an author and you want your book to be marketable you should probably have a great cover design. That is why book design is so important!
