My name is Valérie Madill
[I am a Communication Designer]
communication design?
[the most beloved and hated question of my life]
creator of anything visual that communicates
so you're a graphic designer?
um, sometimes... but I do more then just graphics
will you paint me something?
I just know one day you are going to be famous
I haven't painted in years, I mean I love painting,
but that's not what I do (I suppose it could be
something I do, depending on the project)
I thought you went to art school?
I went to Emily Carr Institute University of Art
& Design, I was in the Design program, I have a
BA in Design
is there difference between art and design?
seriously? I can't answer that
I don't understand
that's ok, most people don't
I still don't know what you do
It's really quite difficult to explain simply.
suppose I come up with innovative, effective and
unusual ways of presenting and/or organizing...
well anything
so... you're into advertising?
again, I could be, but not necessarily
well what do you design?
I like to step outside the conventional
boundaries of design, although I also am quite
capable of creating something worthwhile within
those boundaries
don't you have a focus?
that defeats everything, I'm multi-disciplinary
so you design whatever you want, however you want?
...in a way that makes sense and looks good
sounds impossible to keep up with
I know, isn't it fantastic!
do you enjoy it?
it's my obsession
