Why am I interested in graphic design?
I’m very interested in graphic design, not because of a future career, but because I am just interested in it. I find it very interesting and I’d love to learn more about it. Graphic design is always present in every day life but I am interested in learning the science and what goes into this specific type of art. I am a very creative person, I love art, and I believe that I am pretty tech savy, so taking graphic design seemed like a good experience. I hope to use graphic design in the future for my own personal hobbies and hopefully for when I become a teacher! While reading about the different types of graphic design, I found two types that fit my personality and my own creative style.
Publication Design
I found publication design very interesting because it pertains to everyday life. I love reading magazines and have always said how fun it would be to design the cover of one or the way they are set up in contexts. I am interested that this type of design includes photography and typography to present an eye pleasing and eye catching design to attract readers.

Packaging Design
The second area of design that really interests me is packaging design. From personal experience, when I look at a product I look at the packaging. If the packaging is appealing I will most likely be more succumbed to purchase it! There is more science that goes into packaging design that meets the eye. The thought process and creativity that goes into making a package more appealing is very interesting to me. This link leads to 10 packaging design examples that explore creativity and imagination. This second link brings you to a company’s blog that overviews what is needed to go into a good design of creating an appealing package!
