Graphic design

Graphic design is a creative process. As an aspirant graphic designer I am interested to work in a variety of fields, including print design (such as magazines or newspapers), website design, advertising, product development, logo design — even sign-making. Computer programs such as Adobe® Photoshop® or QuarkXPress® are often used to facilitate the process.  A graphic designer impacts more of our daily life than we probably realize. Every time we read a magazine, use the internet, or even shop at the grocery store, we encounter their work. Designers are responsible for organizing various kinds of material into a package that is both eye-catching and informative.

I have always been a firm believer in personal design projects. What I mean by this is setting yourself design related projects to do that otherwise you may not get to experience in your normal design work. One of the things I like to do is create character designs and I have been brainstorming with a friend to develop ideas that I have.
