Ashton's Profile on Artician

Ashton

Graphic Designer

My Focuses: General Digital Photographer, Ad Designer, Freelance Designer
What I do: My name is Ashton Bancroft. In May of 2009 I graduated from Millersville University, where I earned a BA in Art with a graphic design option. I have been involved with the design industry for about two years in various different fields My primary focus has been on print design, but I know my way around the web. I have a passion for design that leaks into every aspect of my life, from analyzing a menu for their underlying grid structure to lecturing my friends on the evils of Comic Sans.

I am a graphic designer. I am also a photographer, an amateur geologist, and a root beer connoisseur. I am a hockey fanatic, a Rubik’s cube solver, a typophile, a murder mystery reader, a paper enthusiast, a pack rat, a gardener, and a beginning guitarist. It is my belief that as a graphic designer, it is essential to be interested in and passionate about as many things as possible. One day I could be designing packaging for bath products, while the next I'll be creating an identity system for a high school’s Physics Olympics. I am interested in anything and everything because anything and everything contains potential for design.
