The creative process in graphic design can be as vastly different as canned fruit and potato chips. If you’re not sure exactly what that means, then don’t fret, because nor do I.
I was really just trying to think up a cool metaphor.
Anyways, what I was trying to get at is that there are many different methods to go about graphic design. Such as, in a large company, there may be people that sketch up the idea, people who are the critical and judgemental group that tear the ideas apart and make them better, and people who actually turn the final idea into a reality.
Meanwhile, in the freelance world, there may just be one person who goes through the entire process in their own way. They may do all of those steps on their own, or they may just sit down, listen to music, and be inspired by that as their muse to create the graphic.
Whatever the case is, the graphic design process can be completely different from one artist to another just as style can differ.
One person may prefer logos, one may prefer graffiti, one may enjoy manipulating photos.
It all depends on who we are, how we’ve learned, what our muse is, etc.
Just as all that, this means that all of our ideas are different and therefore some ideas may be more out there than others, such as the different waypoints and advertisement styles we looked at in class.
These ideas vary person to person and the magical part is when we get to come together to take an idea to that extreme level.
