Abstract

The artist's statement: I have discovered that graphic design is the perfect balance between structure and creativity for me. I have strong sensibilities in both the arts and mathematics, so when I began a graphic design practice, I felt it was the perfect medium to let both of those parts of my mind create balance. Using different design elements within a page to create a structure that is pleasing to the viewer strongly appealed to me. I have a strong attention to detail and notice when something is slightly off. Because of this, I generally prefer to work within the typography field creating designs such as layouts for magazines, books, and posters. I am very interested in how type communicates to the viewer, not only through what is written, but the visual hierarchy that comes with it.
