Making an Impact with Design
Since my sophmore year in college, when I discovered the Mac Lab and its rows of Apple Macintosh computers loaded with the leading graphics programs of that day, I have dabbled in expressing my creative ideas through graphic design. Whether I designed a cover for "Flesh," a play that I wrote that year, or developed 8" by 11" posters for the poetry group I was in, Death Before You Take Our Poetry, I loved that you needed to be both creative and problem solver to attract attention and stimulate retention in a brief few words and accompanying image(s).Communicating through graphics continues to enchant me. I created several site graphics for ActorsUpdate, developed flyers, postcards, posters and other promotional materials at ActorsUpdate and Montage Magazine and designed logos for several companies. I find logo design particularly thrilling. A logo must do the work of 1,000 flyers within the span of a few inches. It's an exercise in condensation to the nth degree. It reminds me of the paper folding game that confounds us as kids. In it, you take a piece of flimsy notebook paper and turn it into the model of resistance. You begin by folding the paper in half. The first few folds come with easy. After the fifth or so fold, the task becomes exponentially harder, until you cannot make the paper budge. In a logo, you must find a way to fold the paper twice more.
