You are probably asking yourself,

"Who is that beautiful, amazing person up there??"

Have no fear, it's just me. Despite how fabulous I may seem, I am just your ordinary person. I may be quirky, and I like to have fun, but I take my work and my clients very seriously. I want my work to speak to their target audience - not like your basic ad campaign - I want it to stand out from the rest. That doesn’t mean I interpret tacky “grab your attention” words or images, or flashy graphics, though I can if asked. What this means is that when someone sees one of my advertisement, poster, or even a product’s packaging design, that they do more than just see one more, run-of-the-mill piece. I want them to feel and understand the message I’m trying to portray. I want my design to hold the viewer’s attention - if only for a second longer than usual - so that it resonates long enough for them to carry it with them or to inspire them later. Most people assume more is better, however, it may be no more than a twist of color, one word in a specific typeface, or other subtle differences that bring the piece together as a work of art in its entirety. Which is why I love the saying,

“Design is so simple. That’s why it’s so complicated.”

-Paul Rand

 With that being said, I would like to sum this section up using the information you will most likely want to know, with this generalized timeline and nifty graph below:
