“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.” These inspirational words come to us from the American educator, Helen Keller, who overcame the adversity of being blind and deaf to become one of the 20th century’s leading humanitarians. We can relate this thought to the field of design as well as “Design must first be felt to be expressed”. Creativity is an expression of our inner being and how we make sense of the world around us. Each of you who have chosen to embark on a career in the Creative Arts will understand what I mean. Every thought and idea begins in the mind and is translated through the fingertips onto paper. New technology now makes it possible for us to translate our ideas directly onto computers.
