My three posters illustrate the mind, with its primary left and right brain, and the convergence of the two to create the mind of the graphic designer. I used myself as the subject to give a more personal representation of what I was trying to depict. The left poster is the scientist, illustrated in binary code, the language of computers. The scientist in us must be able to understand the machines we use to create what we do. The scientist must understand marketing to create effective designs that target specific demographics, and is responsible for the specific information contained in the design. The right poster is the artist, illustrated in a sketched pencil style, with more free flowing lines that better represent the imaginative spirit of the artist. The artist in us is responsible for creating visually appealing images that attract attention and draw people in. The center poster is the convergence of the two halves into the graphic designer, implementing elements of each to create a cohesive overall design.
