Kerry S. Jenkins
Artist's Statement
"My design philosophy runs parallel with my teaching philosophy. As it may simply be stated, 'I practice what I preach.' Just as I expect clear, appropriate solutions from my students, I try to create the same in my own work. I try to be considerate of the audience’s time and as knowledgeable of their habits and
education as possible. I try to reach them quickly through design that is focused just for them. At the same time, I create unique solutions so that my design isn’t just another amongst their daily barrage. It’s not so much that I want my design to be memorable. Rather, I want the audience to remember or
react to the intended message of the design."
