Follow up to previous post.

For some reason, I can’t post on the new videos, so here is my post for the next two videos in the Design Council series.

The next two videos describe the different aspects and skills a graphic designer has and builds. They understand the language of graphics and the ins and outs of the system. the other video goes into the process and how graphic designers actually do their projects.

Hello there!

Hi there, my name is Stephane Joseph Mazzone, but most people just call me Steph or Stephane (Ste-fon). I am 21 years old in my second year at BMCC and hoping to finish by next summer and get my associates to then go to a 4 year art school and earn bachelors in fine arts. I am intrigued and interested in graphic design, I have always taken a liking to logos and other sorts of creations that are made with the tool. Looking forward to creating some cool stuff!

What a Graphic Designer is All About.

A graphic designer can create many different pieces of creation. Using elements from all sorts of mediums and ideas.  From as long as I can remember,  graphic design has always been an interest to me. As long as I can remember, there has always been this part of me that has an appreciation for simplicity and design satisfactory. An instance of this would be when I found the design of a company or restaurant appealing. A very important word in my psyche is “appeal”. I have always enjoyed admiring and simply looking at logos, symbols and even at some points trying to create some of my own. Design is an infinitely universal language that can define any sort of visual creation. From a drawing to a new look for a brand, The imagination of the creator is endless.

This video gave me a general understanding of not only what graphic design is, but what the wielder of the skill formulates and practices. The job itself lends the artist to a variety of different jobs they can pick up in the field. Graphic design makes up most of the visual creations that we experience. There might be a confusion however when defining what is graphic design versus what a design is. A graphic design pertains specifically to a graphically made design means using graphic elements like text, shapes and other sorts of concepts. A design can literally mean anything that was formed and created from any sort of medium.
