For the first time in my school time—and luckily it happened before I graduated—I didn't care for what my end product was like at the end of my semester, all I'm interested in is the perspective change that happened to me over this semester. I've been designing for the past 9 years of my life and it never occurred to me that design isn't just what i do when I'm at work or school. Design is the lens in which the designer should be looking at the world through, interesting and yet needs lots and lots of practice to be able to do it. Ironically enough i find myself concluding what was said the first day of the past semester... connections are everywhere and the designer's job is to find those connections and make use of them.
I'm so glad to have had this semester the way it was, and i don't thing i would change that experience with anything else.
About Me
- jihad lahham
- I'm a student at Ringling college of art and design, the graphic design and interactive communications department. i moved to the united states after i had graduated from the fine art school in the university of Damascus. Throughout my little journey I've been blessed to have tried and learned too many things that would enrich my background as an artist and graphic designer. my name (jihad) is a big controversial topic nowadays that i would like to give a little explanation for ... jihad the word has no literal translation in English ... the best way to define it though is, it's the process in which someone is making a significant effort to overcome hardships, towards better life and better future. I think it's a really good way to define me as a person as well.
