PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN (PCA&D)
I’m Logan Byer, a senior in graphic design at PCA&D. My interest in graphic design started in middle school making logos for friends’ YouTube channels and video game teams. I was also very inspired by computer component packaging (which I was an avid collector of). Because of this, I went to college intending to pursue Game Art as a major. After I realized it wasn’t for me, I switched my major to Graphic Design and I’ve never looked back, I’ve met so many amazing people and have gotten to work on so many projects that I’ve truly loved, like winning first place in the national Paperboard Packaging Council’s Student Design Competition!
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL INSPIRED?
Something that gets me inspired is the idea of helping make change with design!
WHAT AREA OR AREAS OF DESIGN ARE YOU HOPING TO WORK IN OR SPECIALIZE IN?
I’m hoping to be able to work in packaging design or branding/marketing.
WHO IS SOMEONE YOU LOOK UP TO IN YOUR FIELD?
Someone I look up to in my field is Massimo Vignelli and his quote “If you can design one thing, you can design everything.”
WHAT ARE YOU READING, LISTENING TO, WATCHING?
Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of NOFX since they just recently retired.
DO YOU, OR DO YOU PLAN TO, DESIGN FOR ANY CAUSES OR CHARITIES, I.E., DESIGN FOR GOOD?
The Agency at PCA&D provided me with the ability to do design work for local charities, which was an amazing experience to help out several causes that I was personally passionate about.
