The Designer as Producer


Artwork is the process or product of arranging elements in a way to effect senses or emotions, It encompasses a diverse range in artists and designers activities, creations, and modes of expressions,, To some people, art and design is very important, to others it is nothing, To most it is nice, but fades away beside the everyday problems and catastrophic events.

There appears to be something about art that really means something to many of us, the fact that some people spend so much time trying to understand it, some spend money on one artwork than most people earn in a lifetime, that should make you think, it definitely shows that something is going on there, Based on that, I feel it’s pretty clear that art is more than just work. it is a respond to inspirations popping up here and there and using it without hesitation.

Good artwork has an audience, and yes artists and designers can comfort people with it, it’s meant to talk, please, and maybe jump out. Logo’s for example symbolize and provide an image nothing else can provide, it has to be suitable for any event changes , it is the centerpiece of the concept you want to deliver.

Designing a logo reveals meanings, and reveals function, it can’t be hidden. Artists rights has never been preserved, a lot of people abused artwork, even artists between themselves,, as far as I can see it is illegal to change somebody’s artwork even if it’s for a good purpose, you cannot take someone’s work and use it, sell it without credit on the work and permission from its owner. yet law can't follow and protect it all!!! It’s too widespread. What you can do is love the work, maybe use some of the design elements BUT your own techniques, you can elaborate, it’s ok to be inspired by the work and idea and work around it.
