~Galleryyuhself~ An opportunity to make a difference.

~Galleryyuhself~ Do enjoy an interview that was put together with the Graphic Artist Bruce Cayonne on his history and working process.

GY1. Tell me about your childhood experiences that led to you making signs.

Q.1 As a child growing up my experience was seeped in creativity. My dad was a joiner by trade, and he was a very creative person that was always making wooden toys and crafts . My home looked more like a museum with wall hangings and furniture made by him. I loved colors as a child so I spent a lot of time drawing and colouring. 

 GY2. Did anyone influence your typography? A Teacher, a mentor?

Q.2 I can't say my typography was influenced by any one in particular. However I was always drawn to bold heavy types and that's evident in my body of work. I often found myself creating my own fonts, as it became difficult to find one that bowled me over. 

 GY3. How did you start your career and when?

Q.3 After spending a few years in fabric painting I signed up for Applied Arts classes in 1988. The classes had an element of sign painting which landed me a job the following year as an inhouse sign painter in the marketing department of a large Company. Even though it was my first real job, it lacked the excitement I was looking for. So after one year I was jobless and on my own ever since. In 1992 I formed part of a team that decided to throw a party that I was entrusted with the duty of advertising. The posters and banners I painted caught the eye of other promoters who started seeking my talent and thus began my career. 

 GY4. Did you apprentice or did you start on your own?

Q.4 At eighteen years old I didn't know much sign painters, but I was eager to learn, as I had fallen head over heels in love with the art form. I sought out and found one. I was disappointed that I wasn't accepted as an apprentice even though I offered to work without pay. I was unmotivated to continue looking and made a decision to do it on my own. I became good enough to be hired three years later in 1989 to paint billboards  for a Company, advertising their products. 

 GY5. What have been some of your best and worst experiences and can you share some images.

Q.5 When trying to pull out my best and worst experiences from my 30 years in my craft, it becomes a difficult task because there are so many. In reflection my proudest moment would have to be when I was featured in an international art magazine. And I am probably living my worst experience within this pandemic, as it has severely impacted upon my income together uncertainty.

~Galleryyuhself~ WiEats page brought something to the fore for me as a Graphic Designer, Artist and Educator. In this Covid-19 world, I am seeing quite clearly that at this time, everyone IS a Graphic Designer. Businesses have had to step up their game with lightening speeds. That has meant live streaming, Zoom (ing) and Curbside marketing.  Everyone is looking for the magic bullet, and that includes sourcing whatever is available online and hopefully free, to help give them some leverage. People need some way to make a living while all of this Covid uncertainty is going on. No one knows what to expect next.

What does this mean for the creative professions? At first glance it may seem daunting. However, Graphic Designing has never been more relevant than it is right now. As with many other jobs, the umbrella of services that Designers provide are not shallow in nature. We have educated ourselves for constant shifts in the local, regional and global economies. More people using online Apps to create content will produce much of the same looking imagery, as seen above. Creativity shall always be in demand. I would suggest that Designers embrace what is happening online as a way to continue to showcase what sets quality apart from quantity.
