Publication and Brand and Identity Design

Why am I interested in Graphic Design?

Graphic Design has always been a mystery to me. For the longest time I thought art just popped up out of nowhere and was used for labels and pretty signs to entice people to look at the product. All I know is that I love seeing the designs because they are so interesting and precise. I like thinking about how these artists made the signs and how much thought went into something. I am interested in Publication and Brand and Identity Design because I enjoy the thought of people seeing my designs on products and in magazines. I enjoy promoting things to make them more popular and more memorable.

Publication Design…

is a type of Graphic Design that includes articles, magazines, newspapers, and more for different uses such as fashion, retail, travel, etc. They use a lot of photography and typography for this type of design and these are things that I am very interested in. I enjoy photography very much and happens to be the exact reason why I want to be a photographer and learn photoshop. I also love messing with different fonts and trying to make my own unique font. I love making clever slogans and making it visually appealing and thought-provoking which gives me a good idea that I may be best in Publication Design.

Design Envy “Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant asked Lernert & Sander to make a photograph for their documentary photography special, with the theme food. The solution was a transformation of unprocessed food into perfect cubes of 2,5 x 2,5 x 2,5 cm. A simple and clever visual input in the debate of processed vs. natural food.”

Brand and Identity Design…

is another type of Graphic Design I am interested in. It is for businesses that need logos, business cards, advertising, websites, etc. It uses a lot of photoshop and typography and again that is something I am interested in. I love the idea of people recognizing my logo and knowing that it was my design that people know by heart. I love looking at intricate designs and seeing unique ideas that people came up with and talked about. Thinking about the trial and error and the countless hours and examples the person had to go through to find the logo just seems so worth it in the end.
