"Pop, subcultures and the future of graphic design: an interview with Experimental Jetset" Response

     According to the article “Pop, subcultures and the future of graphic design: an interview with Experimental Jetset”. What sparked an interest while reading this article was that an interest they all shared led them to where they are now. Post-Punk was a gateway and inspiration for their work now. Without Post-Punk, they wouldn't have had the courage to go to art school and be involved with graphic design.

    That section stood out to me the most, especially since I feel I had an entry way through graphic design and can relate to how much an interest can change your whole life and lead you somewhere you never thought you would be. My whole life til college, I would never call myself an art student. I never took myself as an artistic person and saw myself as someone who was not good at it. Once I found that entryway, I felt as if it had changed my whole life as well. I would have never thought I would be where I am not, a couple of years ago, but here I am. I’m very happy with the route I've been going and cannot wait to see what happens in the future for me and my work.

Compared to other websites I checked out, these caught my eye more and hooked me into looking more into who they are and what kind of art they present. That is a goal for my website as well, to be professional yet playful, to show more of my personality to my viewers through my designs.  The one that mainly caught my eye the most was David Shrigley. I enjoyed his creativity put into it and how he didn’t overwhelm it with designs as well. His layout has sections of his work, such as colorworks, printmaking, etc.  As for Kilm Type Foundry, I admired the layout and how straightforward it is. It aesthetically forms together to perfectly present her work. The layout reminds me of a digital m...
