And here it goes...my first blog! This should be interesting. I honestly have no idea what to write about. I'm not a writer, I'm a graphic designer! Maybe I can tell you a little about myself...
Before graphic design came into my world, even from when I was little, I always knew I wanted to do something creative in life, but back then, I had no idea what my options were. I was also lucky to have parents that were supportive and not set on me becoming a doctor or engineer (seemed to be the hopes of a lot of my family members for their kids).
Once I got into the art program at Virginia Commonwealth University, I got a taste of all the different creative fields out there. I narrowed my interest into three: architecture, interior design & graphic design. In the end, I felt graphic design would allow the flexibility in creativity that I was looking for. Till this day, I have not regretted my decision :)
As I said before, I am not a writer, but I do think I am a "visual writer". I have to be able to say, visually, anything and everything about a client, what they represent, what they are trying to portray, displaying a certain mood, all with color and graphics...which can be very challenging at times. It would be easier to write, "I'm professional laundry service but different from others because i have a coffee shop and bar downstairs" vs. coming up with a logo that would portray all that.
Here at ACS Creative, I never know what kind of project I am going to be working on and/or what kind of industry the client is in. There is always something new. This helps keep design fresh and challenging. Keeps the mind working! :)
Wow! I wrote a lot. I guess this blogging stuff isn't so bad ;)
