Michael I. Johnson
Multidisciplinary Designer︎
I’m a recent graduate from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, MI. Though my journey originally started as a traditional artist, with sketching being my strongest suit, I eventually expanded to newer digital design mediums. My curiosity led me down the road of learning typography and motion design applications, allowing me to convey even more character and emotion through my work, and this drive has opened my eyes to creating videos that involve more typographic elements and brand development.
While I love art in it’s totality, I draw an immense amount of my inspiration from music and indie cinematography. Being from Motown, I've fallen in love with the various stories told through the music that developed here, and it's what I've turned to to develop means of explaining myself to the world around me. Everything from color choice to overall design is created from what I can draw from music. I hope to continue to work with other creatives that want the chance to express creative passion similarly to me through trial and error...
