Yesterday was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend... He surprised me with a private lesson on Salsa dancing. During the lesson we practiced different steps and techniques to improve the dance skills neither one of us possessed...
Having the salsa experience made me realize something... the correlation between salsa dancing and Graphic Design.
In Salsa there are very distinctive moves that characterize the dance.
In Graphic Design, there are distinctive characteristics that characterize the degree, versus computer science for example.
Using Illustrator for the Less is More project for example, there are certain steps to take and it is important to realize that those steps are all part of a graphic designers characteristics, as far as their job requirements.
Another step in Salsa is the idea of putting your personality in the moves...
If there is anything that sets graphic designers apart it is there ability to allow their creativity to flow! Personality is key in the graphic design world, that is what sets you apart from the designer next to you...
SO, while most would not connect graphic design with salsa, it's true!
Step one: learn the moves
Step two: Personality
Relationship status: Loving it more everyday!
