Graphic design is a beautiful art form. It mixes color and language, history and psychology. It deserves to be represented to the best of the artist's ability. It conveys an idea to the masses, therefore a sense of empathy is needed by a great graphic designer. A sense of intuition, of knowing how something will be interpreted and reacted upon. A good graphic designer is an artist, a rebel, an innovator and a creator. A graphic designer has to be all these things because that's what graphic design is, it innovates, it inspires and it moves people. It makes people do things that they wouldn't normally do, it makes them want things that they didn't know they wanted.
My name is Derek Slaughter and I am a graphic designer.
