Margo Chase Summary

What I derived from Margo Chase: Creative Inspirations video

Margo Chase is a graphic designer that grew from one genre of design work and expanded her design firm (Chase Design Group) through dedication and networking. Utilize a work space creatively for open flow of communication is great for collaboration. Even though the internet is a great resource for references, books are still very important source of inspiration: some of which doesn't exist on the web. 

Margo chase started her career in the music industry creating album/cd covers, eventually networking within the industry to achieve more work, however it limited her business growth. A big part of design is lettering/typography, which can be done early in a free lance career. Before advancement in computer technologies graphic design was created by hand. A well versed designer should have hand and computer skills. A designer should have a strong sense of self as a designer then eventually incorporate outside influences and other skills Designer should be careful not to design for oneself but to design for the consumer through Branding. Having a definite profile of what the consumer is envisioning leads to greater design that is special for that consumer. Great design comes from being given a problem and creating creative solutions within certain restrictions, either from the consumer or the actual physical medium like packaging to achieve the final solution.
