Designs in Print

The only real difference between a graphic designer and a web designer is the medium. (Yeah, I know. Duh.) The goal of each is to take an established set of elements and arrange them in the best possible way to accomplish a certain objective. Both must work according to a set of rules defined by the medium they are working in. Both disciplines are bound by the tenets of good design; it's just that one is working with pixels on the screen and the other with... well, pixels on the screen that will eventually be translated into ink on paper, cloth, or what-have-you.

Though it wasn't until my third year of college that I realized that design was what I wanted to do, I remember enjoying the process of designing things prior to that. I designed posters in high school, book report covers in elementary, and even a board game as a different kind of book report as far back as fifth grade. Of course, back then the world wide web didn't exist, and although it was in its early days by the time I entered college, I and the people who educated me were largely unaware of its potential. As a result, I began my career as a graphic, and not a web, designer.

It should then come as no surprise that I have fairly nice-sized collection of various printed pieces in my portfolio. I spent seven years working for the most part on graphic design in different fields, with a little bit of web thrown in for good measure. Here then, is my stuff.
