Jenn Sacher BFA: Alphabet
Create an alphabet within the means of 2 limitations. First limitation is
to research 2 different artists and apply any aspect I learned from them. The
second limitation was selected by 2 different piles; one was a limitation on
concept and another on a part of the creative process. My artists were Neville
Brody and Tadanori Tokoo, concept limitation was to make it false, and my
creative process limitation was to use my transportation.

Application Essay

Graphic
Design Emphasis
I
came into college with an art background that started and ended in kindergarten
– in other words, none at all. My “kindergarten” background is the basis of my current
art-practice: not being able to sit still, being scattered in layout and design,
shortage in communication. At the same time, this lack of background also
inspires me to set goals and do my best. One goal is to have the ability to
communicate my thoughts to an audience through graphic design, to visually
motivate people. Having goals allows me to be open to and absorb as many
influences as possible.
Many
of these influences have come from my professors in the Department of Visual
Art and Design. I learn a lot from seeing them “in action” and having face-to-face
discussions with them. My experience in the Drawing-1 was especially
instructive. The professor went above and beyond in helping me understand perspective.
I can now create objects to be realistic, abstract, or a mix of the two styles
with just how I choose to represent it. This new-found, deeper understanding of
perspective has helped me translate perspective into my designs. To go beyond
the typical one-point perspective is to give depth and life to a design; that
is an aspect of design that I look forward to learning more about, especially
in the digital world.
The
graphic design professors have especially become influential to my work.
Recently, they have shown me how to make a design piece visually pleasing and
eye catching for an audience. Elements I have been taught and want to continue
to learn are hierarchy and the ability to look at little details, such as
alignment in a piece. My ultimate goal at this point in my education is to
further explore the importance of how to successfully apply and integrate perspective
and communication into digital graphics. I feel that the more rigorous BFA
program would greatly help me to achieve these goals.
