Design Inspiration 

In today’s creative space there are numerous outlets to draw inspiration from, but it is important to focus on those that speak to you as an artist. Niki speaks to what she draws inspiration from for her designs:

“I draw inspiration from the amazing natural world and our collective human experiences. From the intricacies of the human condition, the awe-inspiring complexity of the human body, the boundless spirit and ingenuity displayed by individuals, and the ongoing struggle of humanity to embrace self-awareness and navigate the world. There can never be a lack of inspiration in the world we live in!”

Tamara RobbinsDeveloping a Career as a Graphic Designer

Tamara started out having been introduced to various forms of art from elementary school, she took different art classes, and participated in programs from the Art Institute of Chicago.  She remembers, “From 1st grade up until about 8th grade, most teachers present art as an extracurricular activity, something that you play around with and then it’s tossed to the side.”

Her 4th grade teacher would have someone come into her class from the art institute. Tamara  said, “I learned there were different periods of art from the impressionist period and the baroque art. This was something I thought very early on fascinated me and there was something about the whole structure of it. It gave art purpose and it gave it structure and it was more than something that kids play around with.”
