ychun10 1 / 1 Dec 26, 2011 #1"Good art sends a different message to everyone. Good design sends the same message to everyone." It is a quotation from web designer John O'Nolan's web design poster. It inspired me to think about what I would like to do in the future. Choosing what I want to be in the future and what I need to study for that is not an easy decision to make. However, I am assured that I love to appropriately communicate my message to an audience through my designs. Studying this course would be the best opportunity for me to realize my ambitious.I studied in the diagnostic pathway at Central Saint Martins, before choosing to specialize in Graphic communication Design. This disciplines me in the way of creating uniqueness and eliciting a feeling to inspire others. It is appropriated for me to communicate a message. I want others to be touched by my visual communication.My strengths are typography, photography and line drawings. Typography is what I enjoy and I am most interested in. I love how letter designs affect and help to comprehend the message. Out of various projects I have done in Foundation course, 3D constructed typography was the most successful uncomplicated communication visual work. I created letter B with the image of banana skin and ended up with photography on the street. This one letter B precisely presents the image of a banana and describes the first inspiration that I have got from our living condition. I believe combining the words and visual works assists a powerful communication. Photography is the most special part for me. It is a practical way to document, research and enables me to have a broader perspective. Also, photography lends a hand to understand the works. Like my Banana skin Letter B stands out on the street, where and how to take picture is another important skill. I was very inspired by "Wall Drawing 1185" from "Sol Lewitt: Wall Drawings in Studio G7". All different pencils' level of brightness and thickness mightily influences and amazes me. I think line drawing is a useful technique to express all the details with the simple lines. And I believe theses are useful skills in graphic design.The most important reason why I wish to pursue this course is for preparing my future career. I aim to be a magazine editor. I would like to design visual communication for magazine publishing. This career is suitable for using my strengths. I am sure this course is the one for me to make a creative designer.
