As I’m still working on my writing skills, I thought I’d borrow this from a site I tend to visit. It really resonated with me:
Also, do you know that ‘Designers create for the world and not just themselves’? So, let’s redefine this power…
“Designers have the Power to Understand Individual Minds and Create Interesting Communication by shaping their crazy imagination with the latter”
Well, this is something I truly believe in. Since the day I stepped into this world of expressing craziness, I have learned so much about observing people, visualizing worlds, creating stuffs, capturing moments, understanding pictures, understanding layouts, practicing hobbies, learning the art of typography, hardworking, smart working, understanding target audience, marketing communications, design principles, and various other beautiful subjects. It’s all so challenging and yet so engaging. Every day is a new encounter as you struggle with your imagination and practicality.
This is how I am growing. It’s difficult and full of challenges but this is how I have always wanted my life to be. I am enjoying these daily doings; fighting with my thoughts for a better result, understanding phenomenon for a better thought process, and practicing art for improvement. It’s so much fun that I am never satisfied with my designs. I always find a way of improvement and I love analyzing this.
My senior once told me, “Until and unless you know where to stop your design process, never stop practicing and improving. Never stop learning. Never stop observing. Never stop analyzing yourself and your design. That’s how you are going to grow”.
Those words changed me. They made me face the reality and fight for myself. Today, it’s been 6 months past my graduation, and I am pursuing my career in Graphic designing. This is my very first job in this field and I am relishing it like anything. I have a lot of room to grow and this is where I have decided to start and take a step towards the ladder to reach the pinnacle of my dreams. I choose to challenge, work smart, work new, learn, capture and design. These are my choices.
This is how we designers operate and this is what being a Graphic Designer means to me!
