sean adams: Insights on Graphic Design
research AIGA-Adams Morioka Archives
Design today, through advancements in technology, has
expanded to multiple platforms. A designer has to know more than just print
media, to be competitive in the field and to make a career. Design has moved
from print media to everything technological, social media, websites and
interactive motion. I also enjoy print
media, specifically books and illustrations in older books. Downside to access
to tech tools, projects are rushed and the message of the design can be
blurred. A project can be finished in a shorter period of time, however a
better product comes through have proper inspiration and that takes time.
Upside to tech tools of today is the access and large amount of utilities
available for designers.
What is Design to me? Its problem solving, taking a clients
vision and translating it onto a media format. Its taking a problem and finding
creative unique solutions through inspiration.
Design have flexible paths of education to a career;
traditional like art education and non-traditional like internet based
websites. Design history is essential to be a well rounded designer.
A good portfolio is simple and clear cut exemplifying your
skills and experience. Typography is definitely a necessary skill. Getting
started in the design field is all about networking. (which im horrible at.
