Ethical, Honest & Unique Design
The greatest part about being a graphic designer is that we are able to continuously create. The tools we have are not limited as there are infinite ways to combine and use them. It is about learning to experiment and understanding that the greatest designs often come from play.
During the beginning of the design process, one must learn to let go of structure. It is during this chaos of ideas that one idea morphs into another and another, until you have something truly unique. From here, there is the shift from creating art to designing. The artistic concept creates the foundation for the design. We are able to utilize our skills in design to determine the form and function.
