Designers Statement
The message of my design is from a quote I stumbled upon while trying to find what art means to people. The quote that spurred forth my design is: “To send light into the darkness of men’s heart. Such is the duty of an artist.” by Robert Schumann.
To me though, the darkness in the hearts of humans isn’t evil, but emptiness. Also, what I think is the duty of an artist and his or her art is to fill in the empty spaces in the lives of people. It is to fill the hearts with emotion, the mind with thought, and the lives of others with a bit of someone else’s creation and soul. So in my design, I am fillling the letters of the word ‘life’ and overflowing it with simple pictures of art. Also, Robert Schumann is a famous pianist composer, so I made sure that I added something with music in my picture.
I want to enter the graphic design field in my yearning to create, design and imagine. I always try to use my leisure time doing something artistic. I write, I draw, I play the piano. I feel a need to fill the space around me with words, depictions and sound. The main reason why I am going into Web Design and Interactive Media: I wish to fill the lives of people with something that wasn't there, and make their world a little more complete.
