Design Interests

Graphic Design has also been a huge part of my life since I was in middle school. I always looked at the world differently knowing the extenuating process people go through to make what seemed like the simplest things. Two particular types of design that I enjoy are printing/packaging design and advertising.

In high school I took a graphic design & printing class that really got me into wanting to know more about the different types of printing such as, screen printing, offset printing, digital printing, letterpress printing, and many more. We printed almost everything in that class and it was a great experience and also a really fun time. Our teacher would also bring in examples of packaging or prints that helped show the different printing styles in action. The example below is a picture a butterfly that is broken down into 4 color processes or cmyk, cyan, magenta, yellow, and black that are used when running an offset printing press.

Advertising on the other hand is a huge interest to me because an advertisement helps show the creative ability of a company while also promoting themselves inside that design. Advertisements take a lot of brain storming and different creative minds in order to create something original that appeals to target audiences. A lot of hard work and thought has to go into each advertisement to help keep it relevant to the company or product while also helping it pop or stand out. The example below is an awesome advertisement that I believe stands out very well and helps get the message out.
