When I was a kid, I had an 18x24 map of Alaska that was illustrated in the Swiss style, with relief shading in blues and tans. I used to stare at it for what seemed like hours, admiring the symbols and indicia. I was enthralled by the idea of taking something as complex as land forms and distilling it into a parsible, clear, and useful medium.
I wasn't aware at the time, but what I was admiring was graphic design, more or less. Combine that with my childhood love of calligraphy and lettering, and the attraction to design, for me, was really a no-brainer.
