10 reasons we love working in the Graphic Design industry

1. Graphic design is a form of visual communication – we get to speak a new language of lines, forms, colours and textures;
2. The symbolic language of design is universal – it can communicate across different cultures and countries;
3. We get to investigate and learn more about many different industries:  technology, tourism, education, entertainment, environmental sustainability, etc. – we’ve (almost) seen it all!
4. In print design we get to see the fruits of our labor as physical objects, be it printed menus, wine labels, CD sleeves, etc.
5. What we create, inspires people around us – it is wonderful to see a client fall in love with a design!
6. We get to have fun with software technology that keeps evolving and improving;
7. We draw inspiration from everything around us – any object we see could spark a new design idea;
8. Creative potential lies within us – we are continuously building an internal database of visual references that grow with each design;
9. We can design anywhere – conceptualising and brainstorming can be done in a coffee shop, a park or on the beach!
10. Design can influence people in a positive way – visual communication has the power to change someone’s behaviour for good.
