Tips for Graphic Designers
When you think of graphic design, you probably think of art created on the computer. After hearing a lecture by two designers that are married, I realized that graphic design can be completely fine art. Skolos and Wedell used their photography skills and they artistic abilities to create amazing posters out of scraps of paper and images they had created with lights and 3D objects. After hearing this lecture, I was reminded that when I get stuck on the computer and can't find what I need off of photonica.com or some other source of images, that it is okay to go back to the "fine art" world and create a graphic design project by hand. Sometimes it turns out alot better than anything you could create on the computer, and it can be alot more fun! A GREAT BREAK FROM THE COMPUTER LAB GRAPHIC DESIGNERS! :)

i find sometimes that the computer can force you to go a direction sometimes if you dont fully understand your concept. yet i totally agree that working with ones hands to make something seems to always be more gratifying in the end, and it gives the work a more personal and artistic touch then the cold and sometimes sterile design of the the computer.
