Welcome to Visual Communication.

Typography is fascinating. Have you ever considered the beauty of letterforms? We take for granted the little symbols that come together to form words and allow us to comprehend meaning.

Notice how one typeface (font) just seems “right” for a certain piece while another has the wrong “personality.” (Yes, typefaces have personalities!) Notice how words on a page successfully illustrate a message or convey a concept and marvel at the process by which that takes place. Then add in the excitement of lines, dimensional forms, color, and imagery. Layout! Now that’s COOL. Very cool. Sometimes I wish I’d discovered the field of graphic design at a much earlier age.

But things that are meant to be have a way of working themselves out. Today, with my background in psychology, my understanding of people, of how the mind works, and the process by which we learn and interpret information, and my “way with words,” I am a much better visual communicator now than I would have been then.
