Understanding Written Language
As a designer, I
find understanding the history and development of written languages fuels how I communicate and design. The layers of languages that merged to create English create a multifaceted source from which I draw my inspiration. Symbols remain important in my graphic design work for clients. Symbols are essential in communicating effectively because they express messages without a large amount of text.
My style focuses on illustrations and symbols to convey messages and emotions. My work does not focus on large bodies of text, so I rely heavily on images and a hand drawn aesthetic. Like the layered history of written languages, I look to history and past/present designers to inspire my own work. One specific designer, David Carson, presents modern work that fuels
my own. His typography overlaps and becomes more of an image than a written
language meant for reading. I see his work in the same scope with ancient
writing systems where letters were shapes, or symbols. The development
of written systems and design continue to fuel new perspectives in my own
design work.
