Fuck Pencils! I Design With a Mouse! | ||
|
Okay, I know what you're asking, "What's with the profanity?" To put is very bluntly, I have come across many "designers" who don't feel it's necessary to think the creative process through. That they can just sit down and whip out their church-bulletin clones of a design in whatever second rate word processor that happens to come pre-installed with their computer. What is worse is that I commonly ran into students (and sadly some professionals) who are developing design concepts and had epileptic fits every time they had to step away from their computer mouse and pick up a pencil. My name is David O. Little and I'm a designer who can create works with anything that is required to complete the task at hand. That means if I have to stand in line at a fast food establishment so I can get the crayon from the kids meals that has just the right shade of green, take a bunch of spray cans and cardboard in order to recreate the Sistene Chapel on an SUV's rear windshield, or just sitting down over a cup of coffee with a pencil and legal pad while picking the brain of my client to get their idea for a logo just right, then that is what I'll have to do to complete a project. I am proficient in the current version of the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Flash, and Dreamwaver. I can program in HTML, CSS, PHP, Actionscript, Javascript, and many other languages. I also do 3D computer and simulation modeling with 3D Studio Max, Maya, Zbrush, and several other programs. I am currently finishing up my Associates in Applied Sciences with a specialization in Multimedia, and am looking to further my education by entering into a Bachelors of Fine Arts program. |
