Art, comics, graphic design and web development by the artist: Matthew Taylor
You may not realize just how widespread design is but when you consider that every man-made thing you see was once designed by a person, you start to appreciate its significance. Every day we use thousands of things that were once the brain-child of a designer; we drive cars, live in houses, read fonts, see logos, play computer games, wear clothes and the list goes on, is almost endless. Design has a massive impact on our lives; good designs make everyday tasks easier and the easier our lives are the happier we are. This is why I believe good design is so important.
When I'm designing I invest enormous amounts of time and energy because I know how important it is to have the best design possible. This website is a great example. I have spent countless hours developing and improving the layout and navigation elements so that my visitors can get to the information they want intuitively; all the content is just a few clicks away no matter where you are. My goal is for people to browse my site with pleasure, enjoy looking at my art, and then come back again later to see what's new. Good design is essential to that task.
