Interviewe mat Ji Eun Jang

Since 2004, I’ve worked in government agencies, the TV industry, ad agencies, and magazine publications as their graphic and web designer. With an emphasis in graphics, videography, photography and web design, I have experienced all aspects of what makes strong marketing sense and how to realize conceptual ideas.

I aim to use my designs to create visuals used in everyday life that communicates what my clients want to say to their audience in an effective and efficient manner. Solving problems of an aesthetic nature motivates me.

I chose to become a designer because I have the strengths and talent to communicate ideas visually.

Layout and graphic design, videos, and websites. I don't have a preference, but I would take any opportunity that comes to me.

Seize any opportunity that comes to you and put all of your effort into them.

There is no such thing as good or great, or bad for that matter. Design appeals to different people, so it really depends on perspective.

A good design knows how to approach its intended message to the target audience.

The value of good design can last for ages and can set the precedent for future designers.

I will make designs for anybody who requires my skills. I am open to anybody.

Research and analyzing trends. Being passionate and feeling it.

Public Service Announcement advertisement. I like that my design could be displayed in public spaces

Design is visual communication

My parents are my biggest supporters

Staying youthful, being open minded, having a positive mindset, learning, not being afraid to hear negative opinions.

Overcoming differences in opinion with my clients.

Being happy, enjoying my life as a designer through showing my art to the world

I believe a designer's role in society is to communicate ideas and marketing strategies in a sustainable manner that is both consumer-friendly and visually pleasing. This means helping businesses actualize their goals through visual mediums but also recommending environmentally and socially friendly ideas that help cut costs and maximize utility.

I am currently working at the City of Los Angeles. I enjoy creating Public Service Announcements (PSA) because I feel enthusiasm and fulfillment when I see my designs in the public as it creates a better image of my city.

Be passionate, stay young and be positive .

My favorite color is pink, favorite place is LA where I currently live, season is Spring in Korea, thing is going to new places and feeling the atmosphere

When I was 28 I traveled to Italy for about 2 months. I had no destination. I just walked around and traveled to wherever the trains took me. I saw many beautiful and wonderful places in my voyage. It was funny in that this random act led me to my awakening, leading my path to become a designer.

When I was a little child I didn't even know I had the talent for art. My dad's hobby was taking videos and photos, and he always showed me music and art even though he is an engineer. He was a major influence to me in becoming a designer.

Feel enthusiasm, passion and enjoy your life. Design your life. Dream it and do it.

I am currently working at the City of Los Angeles, and I enjoy working for government agencies.

Communication through visual art

Layout and print designs

Through my work, I’ve achieved widespread visibility and improved city/government public perception. My graphic artwork has primarily targeted an audience and company vision, so I have an impeccable sense for marketing and actualizing my company's ideas.

It was a public announcement poster that shows Election Day.

Websites, because it is a good way to showcase a lot of information in a seamless platform.

Whenever I work by myself in a large space with music in the background.

I do your research by observing subjects in real consumer situations and I develop the empathy and insight needed to fuel my design process. Then create authentic prototypes.

I feel enthusiasm and passion whenever I design because I enjoy what I do.

I feel great satisfaction and fulfillment whenever I see my designs produced and showcased.

Graphic design is art for hire. It isn't personal, so successful design should always meet the needs of the clients' best needs.

Which ever is fine because evert human have all different opinion and perspective. That is a daily basis for graphic designer. But If they are judging a design as good first and I will listen as advise to revise the product when they are saying bad later.

I believe a designer's role in society is to communicate ideas and marketing strategies in a sustainable manner that is both consumer-friendly and visually pleasing. This means helping businesses actualize their goals through visual mediums but also recommending environmentally and socially friendly ideas that help cut costs and maximize utility.

There is a surge in minimalism in today's design philosophies. Less is more, either with the visual aesthetic or with production engineering. There are less and less parts in physical design, and layout designs are becoming more seamless and integrated as part of a larger whole design. Also, 3-D printing is taking hold of production of materials and structures, so it would be interesting to see how design adapts to this new technology.

May 2017, when my bus shelter PSAs were showcased all around the city of Los Angeles. I want to have my next exhibition in 2019.

In the process, I have learned to adapt to my diverse and ever-changing surroundings and have always worked with proactive design teams that provide inspiration, motivation, and great collaboration.

My design style incorporates a lot of solid vectors that I create myself. I practiced creating vectors because it is a huge trend in graphic design. The main characteristics of my style are solid shapes that visually flow depending on the medium. With every project, I approach my design by putting my client's need above all else. My design is guided by identifying their requirements and the audience.

I live in Los Angeles, CA in the United States where a melting pot of cultures meet. There is a bustling art and street art scene, and the cities' graffiti murals, installation art, and the colors of the city inspire my designs.

Primarily their graphic and web designer, I am there to help companies produce aesthetic products that help them reach their visual goals.

Give your designer concrete guidelines and directions. When these expectations are set, it makes both the client's and designer's lives a lot easier. Companies can select good designers based on what they want to accomplish. They need to research which designers can deliver goods based on their requirements.

I brainstorm and gather as much information as I can the with parties involved, creating mockups, building up on the design, then refining the design, and finally putting the design into production.

Wake up, go to work, make coffee, say hello to my colleagues, get inspired, get to work.

Prospective designers should learn how to observe trends to be always one step ahead, and they need to define their audience in order to help influence their designs. A design may be beautiful, but if it doesn't attract the attention of the specific audience you are trying to reach, then the project is effectively a failure.

Client and other people have different ideas how things should look so I have to compromise to meet their need.

Think like your client.

Conceptualizing ideas on a whim.

I create a timeline and set deadlines for myself to complete.

It all depends on the project as a collaboration.

"Did you make this?" or "Can you make this?"

Working for the City of Los Angeles.

I enjoy creating Public Service Announcements (PSA) because I feel enthusiasm and fulfillment when I see my designs in the public as it creates a better image of my city.

Since I work for the City of Los Angeles, I want to create and contribute more of my efforts and work to my city government.

I do both. I work with a team for my full-time job, and I work by myself for my freelancing.
