Alfalfa Up Close 1 (2022) Фотография - Jill Annette Johnson

I went to a vocational school in 1977 for Commercial Art. Now this occupation has come to be known as Graphic Design. We drew logos and designed advertisements by hand (with an ink pen, usually). Typewriters or hand lettering would be used to convey messages. Knowledge of the print and photography processes was necessary due to the fact that computers had not been invented yet. If something was to be printed; one would need to go to a print shop, and I was putting it all together. So my first real job was at a print shop. Then I worked for a couple of newspapers where I was an Advertising Artist (same as Graphic Artist or Commercial Artist). Please see my lengthy resume on linked in (listed in the news section here) for the other 40 years of my professional experience as an artist, writer, and teacher.

 I'm well versed at designing graphic logos, brochures, resumes, business documents, advertisements, and the like using effective communication; writing, and art, which is a result of knowledge of one’s language and vision.

Delving a little deeper into the physics of writing and art, we find it contains a process of: 1. ideas; the creative unleashing of possible theories (madman) 2. formation; a foundation is planned (architect) 3. building; drafts are written (carpenter) 4. finishing; the writing is polished (finishing editor/proofreader) I’ve used these guiding principles countless times in my life. Just as a jeweler would not be able to sell rough stones, Jill would not have been able to make anything in the publishing field without employing these principles. Her college papers would have been fair to dull rocks. She can say this as the daughter of a bricklayer who was the son of a stonemason in a familial line that dates back to the middle 1600s. 

So of course I did learn about laying bricks and throwing rocks too. Not very many structures stand the test of time when we throw rock (rough drafts). Only with this brick, mortar, and finish will the building stand. But enough about my lineage. My capstone point is that the finishing point of any building or art should communicate a great product. In creating this description I had the above principles in mind. My college papers, business papers, copywriting, web designs, resumes, and even informal conversations are inclusive of this process of which is a vital component. Why? Well, I might want to throw a rock at myself if I assume myself incapable of accomplishing as much. And as the daughter of a bricklayer, I think I know about bricks and buildings, mortar, and capstones. So now my concluding paragraph contains the capstone of what is called art. Art, as my gem of a teacher told me, is constructed with similar principles. It contains a precise methodology that assures great communication. I would like to involve you in this structure.
