Cdesignwork : a nautical self-promotion : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

The professional discipline of graphic design is a complex synthesis of opposites. In the process of producing design pieces creative expression meets a strict budget, while idealistic artistic license can often combat the harsh reality of the business world. The single universal goal of all design mediums is communication. In this equation of sorts there are really only three variables: who is beginning the communication, what is being communicated, and to whom the communication is intended. As design graduates enter the workforce, they must communicate which specific characteristics as people they possess to qualify them as the best candidate for career openings at given companies. I have produced a holistic piece to communicate what I bring to a design company in the areas of personality and professional competence. My history and passion for living and working are intangible concepts I attempt to convey through the piece.
