This is the invite I designed for the two-person show I am in with my friend, Gail Gregg. I've been so into design since I picked up a copy of Non-designer's Design Book by Rogin Williams. Since then, I've read four other books by her and am waiting for another one.
Learning about design was my huge missing piece. There is something really powerful and magical about using simple visual codes to enhance communication skills by ten-fold. And "getting" it was like learning to ride a bicycle. Her book made me see, practically over night, the order within what seemed to be a totally random, mysterious world. It is like one-part doing a puzzle, one-part changing Barbie's clothes, and one part accounting. What a great counter weight to balance the intensity of painting! As in design, CONTRAST is vital in life...especially that of an artist. (As I committ one of the worst sins according to RW - using all caps.)
