Designers Statement
When deciding on a concept for a poster with this theme, I began to ask myself why life is better with art in it. Why does it make life more interesting for everyone and limitlessly permeate everything in this world? I began to realize that without this beautiful world and its God given artistic unity, we would have nothing to be inspired about.

People can find beauty in anything and draw out or emphasize it. In turn, this can lead another to find it even more inspiring than ever before, allowing them to extract another aspect of the same thing, causing it to become a complexly beautiful whole. Perspectives change the way things are seen and evolve over time. This is my concept for this poster.

As one person sees the rain and becomes inspired with its sound and dynamics, someone else becomes immersed in the complexity of its ever-changing color and appearance. With all of these elements, a single rain drop becomes a thing made of many dynamic parts, open to limitless interpretations, which all contribute to its simple whole.

Art is all about changing the way people see life, and that’s why I love all of its aspects! Graphic design happens to be the best way in which I portray my ideas to the world, but I will never stop being inspired with other people’s interpretations of life and creation.
