WHY I CHOSE DESIGN
Why did I chose to enter the field of graphic design? It’s true that I can’t see myself doing anything else, and perhaps that’s why I’m here. I’ve always been a creative thinker enjoying drawing dolphins from images in books I checked out from the library and charging my fourth grade classmates a dime for a colorful sign with their name on it, drawn during our rainy day recess breaks. Despite this, my junior year of high school was spent panicking as I had no idea what field I wanted to enter.
After accepting admission to DePaul, I always thought English would be my life’s path; however, after taking my first college classes, I was inspired to follow my talents and choose a career that constantly challenged me to expand my imagination. Once I started studying in the field, I realized how influential the job of a graphic designer can be. Not only is it our job to create and think visually, but also to communicate a certain message to the world. In that duty there is great responsibility, the necessity to solve problems, and overall an appreciation for visual aesthetics in their relation to purpose. I also would like to further explore the relationship between art and design. I want to make a difference, to create beautiful representations of conversations I believe in, and to inspire others to form opinions of their own.
