Why Am I Design?

At the beginning, I actually want to learn fashion design. Yet DePaul do not have it, then I choose graphic design as my major. Through my two years learning of graphic design, I discovered that I am increasingly passionate on it, especially for logo design and typographies.
I feel that I still have a long way to go to being a professional designer, because design is not only for my interests, it will turn to a commercial project. I had a working experience in Shanghai last summer. I found that it’s very hard to meet the requirements that my clients put on. The size of the font, the color of the background, the image that you choose, etc. I cannot exactly use my own idea. I learned that graphic designer must know how to cooperate with others and meet their requirements.
During my working time, I discovered that I would not work in a commercial institute, because they already have a formal design mode. I cannot bring my creativity into the designing work. I like freelance designing, such as design posters, logos, and advertisements. Even though everything has its constraint, these kinds of design would be more innovative and interesting.

A good designer should meet the cultural differences, know how to serve different target clients. The creativity as always be the biggest issue in a design.
