We consider Graphic Design to be the medium to solve a
communication problem in a creative manner. It’s not about personal expression;
that can be found in fine arts.
Graphic Design is a discipline that requires
creativity, research, communication skills, technologic and production
proficiency, high perception and intuition.
Photoshop and Illustrator are only tools: without the
skills to use them to communicate an effective design, they are
useless.
We have found this to be a helpful analogy: Do you
have a hammer? Yes? Does it make you a carpenter? No. If a hammer doesn’t make
you a carpenter, then why would Photoshop would make you a Graphic Designer?
Graphic Design isn’t about personal taste; it’s about
finding the look that it will best represent your company or will solve a
specific communication problem. We don’t serve our personal standards; we
pursue aesthetics to satisfy our clients’ needs.
