Graphic Design and its Technicalities

About My Project.

Graphic Design is a very board alley of several different types of art, ranging from digital platforms to more unconventional definitions of this field like wood-cutting. From the many different applications and to the varying methods, I found myself most interested in the field of digital graphic design and how it's applied to political usage.

Through filling out an interest catalog of works that peaked my interest, I began looking closer into works of propaganda, as well as the branding behind certain ideologies, countries, and cities. From there, it became clear what sort of mini-projects I wanted to complete under the guidance of my mentor, Seth Woodies. Initially planning out the summer, I then shadowed his work at a print shop where he encountered numerous opportunities for problem solving, and guiding me through on how to go about certain scenarios.

As a student with some previous graphic design experience in freelancing, get acquainted with the vocabulary and programs wasn't as difficult as it could have been. That being said, I was able to smoothly go about the assignments provided to me and create a branding guide for a fictional city.
