Website Concept

Design is evident in our natural environment and everywhere we look. My greatest inspiration often comes from the wonderful natural designs I observe everyday. Nature has always been an inspiration. From the starry nights above, to the very chair you are sitting in - I believe everything has a plan, a purpose, and a design.

The design of this page is loosely based upon a tree ring. Tree rings reveal much about the subsequent life and growth of a tree. Each successive year a new ring forms within a tree. The outside environment (such as how wet that year was) affects the width of each individual ring.

The tree rings on my homepage have been narrowed down to represent three key qualities of a designer. Each ring is colored by the CMYK color-scheme (Cyan Magenta Yellow Black). The CMYK colors are commonly used in the printing process and are very well known to graphic designers. The three rings also represent a vital element required to produce a solid, well-thought-out work of design. These three things are my inner core, structure, and fruit.

The questions: why, how, and what are the three main questions a designer must solve and represented by the three rings.

Why, how, and what are key questions I always ask myself when working on a design.

• Why am I designing this?
• How can I make this design better?
• What does the client want?
  
  

Core- My innate sense of design nourished by a firm foundation from my family, friends, and graphic design training used to nourish and build my structure.

Structure- Strong, sturdy graphic design ideas that are backed by research used to produce my fruit.

Fruit- Completed graphic design work. From a strong foundation, nourishing core, and strong structure I am able to produce much fruit.
