The Evolution of a Creative and his hairline
So what does it all mean, you know, being a graphic designer? I don’t really know what is going on. Nor do you or anyone else for the matter. We sort of make it up as we go along, right? I mean we all sort of have a plan of where we want to go and what we want to do but it’s not always easy staying on that path. I have never been able to quite describe what it is that I do. I usually group it all under the umbrella of graphic design. But it’s not really just graphic design. I take artsy photos. I draw things constantly. I write. I direct animation or live action. I show work in galleries. I sort of like to try a lot of things out.
 

The moment I begin to feel too comfortable, I change something or try something new. Change is good. This natural desire to evolve and to create a path for myself has been something I have been fortunate enough to do. Come join me for a brief moment where I reflect on how I have evolved as a designer and maybe you too will see how you have evolved or can evolve.
