PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE WITH A FRIEND REQUEST IF I DO NOT PERSONALLY KNOW YOU, THANKS!
I'm Allison Rose. Please visit my Graphic Design and Illustration website: allison.zeszutek.net and please keep in mind...I am not a web developer...so it might not be perfect, but it's pretty and it gets the job done.
The following excerpt is the objective to my design portfolio.
Currently in society we are trying to define and outline the purpose within life, but we will never know. Therefore, I bring up another equally, intellectually provoking question that boggles my mind. Can you define a good designer? You can fling around the title like a game of tetherball, but in realization, it only comes back around and hits you in the face if you hit it with meaning.
(that’s a good thing)
By default, a designer can have a broad range of skills, from technical to traditional media, know all the filters in photoshop and can draw a square in Illustrator. A good designer walks down the street and has a fit about a sign that uses Papyrus to display a realty company (don’t get me started on Zapfino, Impact or Arial). A good designer reels through every aspect of life as if it is a tutorial for a new technique in Photoshop. There is nothing more important than the dedication of their time and intuitive thought process to accomplish the completion and perfection of a design, layout, or illustration that influences, or manipulates, the general human population.
It’s all about the mind control.
After three years in completing my Graphic Design degree, I had an epiphany that had me seeing fireworks. On July 4th, 2008, I was sipping my cocktail out on Lake Minnetonka and I found myself analyzing the fireworks bursting above the water.
Would I be able to paint that?
Would a digital illustration be best to recreate them?
How much color correction would I need in Photoshop?
To be trapped in the mind of a designer would leave you breathless and keeling over in pain.
At that moment, I realized that I live my passion. Through Graphic Design I have the best of both worlds. I am able to freely hand render my thoughts and successfully translate them into a digital format in order to accommodate the ever growing technology addicted field. I strive to design in order to successfully deliver the message, product, or service and hit them square in the eyes with my graphic style.
Now, that’s a punch-line.
disclaimer: I hope not one got offended reading this copy (and if so, it's probably because you use Papyrus and you should be offended), and I hope you took note that I have a certain "dry" and "sarcastic" sense of humor in my copywriting. Gracias, amigos.
Though these repeated times of sadness and lonliness, I will always remember those who have passed on. I will always love them and will carry their memories with me wherever I go. This past month (April 2006) has been emotional and draining, but they will live on in everyone they have touched.
