Kim Grantham Artist statement
I am a visual communicator, an illustrator, a narrator, a painter and in some cases, even a trainer. I have been and always will be, first and foremost, an artist. Graphic art is about communication and making connections, it has the potential to be used in an incredible number of applications, when creating a logo for example; I focus intensely on the design and development in many different contexts and media. Digital art is like telling stories. The clients give me their ideas, so that I can make their advertising dreams a reality. For example; Green Organics logo design; included a turtle with the earth painted on his back and he is surrounded by people and pets. Their Slogan is “Earth Friendly, People Friendly, Pet Friendly.”
A skillful design, along with appropriated imagery, helps direct the aesthetics of my art work. It is important to understand every aspect of a project in order to come up with the best solution possible. I consider how it will appear in the different contexts such as, online, print and even large-scale ads. From a logo to an advertisement, Graphic Design is the process of taking and idea and converting it into an illustrative image. It is important to develop a concept that delivers the clients message in the most influential way. Graphic Design surrounds us and a useful design always communicates the client’s vision.
