When it comes to inspiration I find it hard to really pinpoint individual people. The only person I can think of is my Grandad. He bought me and my brother a computer when we were 5 or 6 years old so that we could go on paint and make posters for birthdays. Other than that, individual inspiration is scarce. I do love design. Whether that be web design, digital design, or print design , if it has a purpose and looks good, then I’m a fan.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
