My Future Self

How I relate to this designer and what I learned from him

Getting to work with Shawn Dangerfield was such a great experience. He was so open to conversation very quick to reply. He gave me access to some his old and newer work and allowed me to use the photos for the publication. He gave me so much incite into working as a graphic designer and allowed me to ask as many questions as I needed. I really related to his story because I also come from a small town in Wisconsin and followed my older sibling to a collage. I also didn’t start my major in design like him but after learning that my old major wasn’t for me and learning about graphic design I switched. I also related to him by wanting to do something in the arts and making art whenever I can. For his passion was with sports and he said that whenever he had assignments he would base his assignments off of his passion for sports as for me I do the same but with fashion.

My over all experience with making this segment of the publication was great. I realize from Shawn how important is to have to be constantly learning about the softwares and applications that a designer has to use. Applications such as Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, etc, are constantly changing and to be a successful designer keeping up with the changes is very important.
