147.3 million km from a G-type star
I’m a Midlands based graphic designer with 20 years agency and freelance experience. I work with clients to help them better communicate their values and brand stories through functional and engaging design.
Which – whilst making me sound competent – also sounds like every other design studio’s biog?
My first degree was in Astrophysics. So when the conversation turns to education I sometimes get ‘that’s a bit of a jump to graphic design’. I would feel a bit awkward on hearing this, as if I were some art-science anomaly sitting uncomfortably between two worlds. I’d probably make the same observation. I mean one’s something to do with erm… space and the other is about visual communication. Right?
I propose that scientists and artists have similar aims. Science and art are often discussed as though they are separate entities – but science and art are two sides of the same coin. Both are the human attempt at understanding and articulating the amazing and uncertain world we find ourselves in.
What is certain is that both call for great leaps in imagination; neuron-powered voyages in space-time; journeys into the unknown.
