    Being a current graphic design student, it is very important to not only be a good designer, but a good visual artist.The two go hand in hand...on emust apply creativity to their work in order for anything they do to be appealing. I can see where that notion would come from-some designers I know simply know software and have no creative juice.I also know some fine artists that can simply draw or paint well, but their work has no life or meaning. Creativity is what makes any art form unique. Just because I use a mouse and someone else uses a brush doesnt make them better. I a sense I am, because I combine foundational art with new technology.Long live designers!
