    Sarah Walsh: capstone
    (Colorado State University. Libraries, 2024) Walsh, Sarah, artist
    The artist's statement: It is said that good design goes unnoticed, but I wish for my designs to be noticed by people. Rather for the technical design aspects but for the ability to enact an emotional reaction to it. I want people to be able to look at something I have designed and have a positive reaction, subconscious or conscious, towards the design and the thing the design is connected to. I don't want to create something simply out of necessity, but I want to create something that people can enjoy and love. The majority of my work is stylized to be simplistic with few textural dimensionalities to it. I feel as if the smallest amount of detail can in fact showcase a large amount of detail to the overall image. Instead of overwhelming the viewer with complex designs, I prefer to keep it simple so they can get the big picture quickly and in a concise way. Being able to understand what the design is intending to convey is an important key to good design, and I strive for that with each of my designs. I'm inspired by the idea of someone connecting with my designs, having a deeper feeling towards it simply because it brings them joy. I want my work to represent the idea the client created by bringing people together through one thing. For this, I hope my designs go unnoticed for their design aspects but are constantly noticed for the deeper connections people have to the subject the design may be conveying.
