Where do you keep your Pencil?

A great design starts with a single simple item, A Pencil.  From the artist who takes the time to sketch that perfect image to their eyes, to the person creating a navigational map, to an  architect designing the next great skyscraper there is one thing in common, in their hand is a simple pencil.

That concept holds true for Web Design as well. A Web page, at its base level is really just the digital answer to a pencil applied to the canvas of the imagination.

Images are placed with text wrapping their way around them, creating a welcoming gateway for the use. From that gateway a path is mapped  that takes the the user through rooms of information.

Each page, its own digital room, guides yours guest through a collection of information that You believe showcases the value of what You represent. Along the way your guest is given the options to embrace knowledge, see the benefits of your vision and be embraced into Your vision of a better future.

Yet with all the code written, all the time spent in software like Photoshop, the testing to see how things look on any possible screen one can imagine, a Website is still at it`s core a piece of art.

Art that tells a story, Art that informs and envisions, but at its core, no matter the lines of code and pixels of graphics, still Art.

A passionate Web Designer understand this, they are tasked to take the vision presented to them and create something that speaks to those who see it

Web Designers are, at our hearts, Artists and before We even sit down to write that first <html> protocol in Our software, many of us go back to the most basic of tools.... The Pencil.

So when selecting a Web Designer for your project, maybe the first question one should ask is

"Where do you keep your pencils?"
