We asked all the EVAs finalists some questions and here's what Ohio Northern University's, Brittany Lang had to say:
How have you grown as an artist since coming to college?
I have
grown a lot since coming to college, especially as a designer. Originally, I
came to Ohio Northern for Electrical Engineering and after a year I made the
decision to switch to Graphic Design, which was a complete 180. Sure, I was
creative in high school, but never really took the time to develop my skills,
until I became a graphic design major. These past three years I have grown and
blossomed and developed my craft. I am just beginning to understand and apply
the techniques I have learned in school and am excited to see where I can go
when I get some experience under my belt.
What type of art do you look to for inspiration?
I look at
all kinds of art for inspiration. Most of the time I get on Behance, Coroflot,
or Dribbble and look at trends and designs that people have posted who have the
same amount of experience as me or are even more experienced. In class we are
always looking at well known designers such as Paula Scher and Michael Beruit
for clean, tastefully done design that is famous and well known to help provide
inspiration for certain projects.
How has participating in this competition helped you develop
as a professional artist?
Participating
in this competition and seeing the reaction of my fellow students, professors,
friends, and family, has given me a boost of confidence. I never really
considered my work to be of award merit, and now that it is, it has made me
proud of the work and what I have achieved since being in college. I have
something to show for all my hard work and dedication towards graphic design.
What are your plans after graduation with the arts?
I plan to
work as a full-time graphic designer and eventually get my Master’s degree so I
can become a professor of graphic design.
