Communication design seeks to attract, inspire, create desires and motivate people to do or think something using words, images, artifacts, spaces, sound, and movement. Your job is to explore and create original concepts—not merely to emulate others' ideas (although others will inspire you)—and to expand your ideas about what it is to communicate.

Tattoo
So for the past couple of years I have been planning to get a tattoo done on my left arm. During these years I have researched Japanese tattoo's and the cultural meaning behind certain pieces or just the stand alone meanings for what can be in an image. I've been looking into a lot of Ukiyo-e, which is the style of art that was produced during the 17th to 20th century in Japan. I'm getting a piece done by Kuniyoshi who is one of the most well known woodblock artists. I'm currently searching for the right tattoo artist that i feel can best reproduce his work in the form of a tattoo. If I had the money and time I would want to get this tattoo done in Japan and in the traditional way of tebori, which is tattooing by hand using steel needles. Here's a video of Horiyoshi III a tattoo artist who specializes in full body tattoo's and uses both machines and needles.
