Definition of a Designer
I imagine every person that finally finds their best fit for a career or lifestyle endeavor, has the same epiphany as I’m about to describe:
It started back in high school (over 15 years ago) with a DTP class and a part-time gig as a Graphic Editor for a youth newspaper. I didn’t revisit any of my creative skills (or so I thought) until just a few years ago when I started doing basic Web edits and some publication design at work.
Things started very slowly, but finally in the last few months I’ve made leaps and bounds towards a career in (and lifestyle of) design. I sold my first design a little over a month ago…in my mind, this was the point of no return. I’m no longer a guy that designs, I’m now and forever will be, a designer. The more I think of myself as a designer, the more I can recognize that I’ve always been a designer. My definition of a designer follows. It has changed a bit over the last year and I hope it will continue to evolve as long as I pursue design.
A designer recognizes that the senses shape thoughts and applies this concept through various channels of communication.
