Final Design Statement

Design is part of our everyday lives.  What you view as aesthetically pleasing; someone else first pondered, stressed over, agonized, elaborated, revitalized, envisioned, and finally turned into the perfect vision.  That is my favorite part.  Merely taking a concept and all its complexities and turning it into something others can experience.  Compact layers of details fit inside every design thought.  It can be difficult to allow emotions to flow through your fingertips onto paper to achieve desired concept.  It has been my consistent goal to develop that ability. 

Art has always been an integral part of my life. When I experienced difficult situations, words escaped me.  That cultivated my desire for expression in other ways.  Creativity strengthened the impact.  They always say that a picture is worth a thousand words.  I want to make a difference in the world of design.

Personal influence will always impact your work even in small ways.  That’s where the unique ideas move from effective to awe-inspiring.  Simple is typically better but behind the simple is a magnitude of ideas and creativity.  My numerous interests allow me to draw upon a plethora of experience.  That knowledge allows me to target a broader audience for my layouts.  Design is allowing a sensory overload to envelope your senses while you drown in emotion.  Not seeing the layers but feeling them.

Individualism is extremely important to me.  I would love to work for a range of clients who will challenge my abilities and broaden my skills.  I like change, I like variation, and I am excited to be challenged to be the best by working with a client as excited as I am.

Last candidate interviewed

I think he was the best candidate we've had. He is down to earth, good at what he does, relates to the students VERY well and all around awesome in general. He used every meme that we are familiar with and made it hilarious. I can't say enough good things about him. He also gave some awesome advice that I can actually use and apply. He fits everything I would want in a teacher. HIRE HIM.

Side note

I will be posting stuff soon, but I have been sick for the past month and it has only gotten worse along with having basically 6 other classes. So, I will post things as soon as I can.

Aaron (Third candidate)

I thought he did a decent job and knew a lot about his business, but he was very boring. He was monotone and didn't make things very interesting. His work was good though and explained it decently. Some of the computer stuff went over my head, but the stuff he was working on seemed cool and unique.

Meredith Morrison

I thought she did an awesome job. She knew what she was talking about and very comfortable with herself. She was lively and had a different perspective on things. She is pretty well travelled and uses her own personality in her work.

ADAI Deksia event

It was really cool to hear the guys talk about their business and how passionate they are about what they do. It's a small business and their life stories were hilarious and also inspiring. They had a live twitter feed going on along with a slide show of their work and them talking about other things they have done so there was always something keeping you interested and never bored. I would like to work in a job environment like that. They also talked about how their fire logo came from a few minutes of needing one and looking at a flammable symbol.
