The “groundbreaking” designer I chose to make a graphic design history postcard on is….(drum role)…. Geoff McFetridge!!
Geoff is a creative graphic designer and visual artist with his own graphic design studio in Atwater, California called Champion Graphics. Geoff received a MFA from the California Institute of Arts in Los Angeles in 1995 and established his studio in 1996. Geoff is a well rounded guy who makes designs for magazines, posters, t-shirts, textiles, motion graphics, advertisements, and film productions. Geoff Starts off his projects by putting his thoughts on paper making sketches and by writing to make logic out of his ideas. A lot of Geoff’s work is generated from a personal space, memories from his childhood, and from wanting to grasp an emotion or idea. The aspects of Geoff’s work include irony, humor, sadness, and imagination which allow him to create a connection with his audience. He often makes his audience laugh as well as make them think and question their surroundings by illustrating different interpretations of an object. His work is commonly transformed into an understandable visual form which allows his viewers to translate his creation. He definitely thinks outside the box!
