It is my deepest hope, that after you read the thoughts and details on this page, you will revisit each gallery and review the artwork with informed eyes. Thank you!
WHAT IS DESIGN? WHAT IS GRAPHIC DESIGN?
To me, design is life. The human body. The Earth and its ecosystems and even the ever expanding universe. Design is the combination of specific intent and profound forethought that is precisely executed. Design is life. However, not everyone will agree with my thoughts. So, academically speaking…

Graphic design is the art and practice of planning and projecting ideas and experiences with visual and textual content. At its core, it is a strategic problem-solving discipline that uses typography, imagery, color, and layout to communicate messages clearly and guide viewer attention. Unlike pure art, which focuses on self-expression and open interpretation, graphic design is driven by commercial, social, or informational goals to achieve a specific outcome.

WHAT IS BRANDING? 
Branding is the perpetual, strategic process of shaping how the public, customers, and stakeholders perceive a business, product, or individual. It goes far beyond a logo or color palette, encompassing the emotional connection, reputation, and cumulative experiences an audience has with a brand across every single touchpoint.
In other words, branding would be the act/process of creating a personality for your company. How your company is viewed.
WHAT IS DIGITAL ENHANCEMENT? Many people refer to this as Photo Retouching. However, when a photograph is not present, then what? I prefer the term digital enhancement because it considers not just the digital manipulation of photographic media, but also other creative elements of non-photographic nature that can be assembled, rearranged and recomposed into a new or improved visual statement by electronic manipulation.
WHAT ARE FINE ARTS? Personally speaking, the fine arts are the personification of the human experience. Our highs, lows, wants, dreams, fears, realities, curiosities and so much more can be frozen in time to speak to future generations. Sketching, painting, sculpture, fabrics, literature, dance, etc. are the 'verbs and pronouns' that form the thoughts for the visual conversation to take place. A textbook explanation states that the fine arts are products to be appreciated primarily or solely for their imaginative, aesthetic, or intellectual content.
