WYNDJAMMR DESIGN

I first fell in love with graphic design the day I watched a staff designer perform magic on her computer with QuarkXPress, turning my unadorned text document into an exciting, inviting thing of beauty. The more I realized what could be done with words to turn them into visual art, the more I noticed that so many of the publications I worked with were not, in fact, works of art. So, I bought some software, went to school, and took on the job of designing and breathing new life into those dreary brochures, catalogues, and annual reports at the non-profit agency I worked for. Along the way, I've developed a fascination with typography, and the impact the right (or wrong) typeface can have on the intended message of the text. In true geek fashion, I just love that there is an entire movie about Helvetica!
