Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittany Ramjit.
Brittany, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and as an artist.
I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada and moved to sunny San Diego just over four years ago with my family! After high school, I binge-watched the movie 13 going on 30 and fell in love with graphic design, I knew from there this is what I wanted to do with my life. Ever since I was young, art has always been something I’ve been drawn to. I started out at a community college taking on as many classes as I could each semester, so I could transfer to San Diego State University, and after four and a half years of hard work, all-nighters, pain, and tears, I just graduated with a BA in Graphic Design and a minor in marketing. I attend a lot of photoshoots mostly just for fun, but I have also worked with companies to promote their brand. I have a lot of friends who are photographers so whenever they need help on a shoot I’m usually the first person they call. I love the combination of photography and design, and I plan on my future job having these aspects apart of it. I consider myself a creative and so do others around me, I just love anything artsy and creative.
We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
If I could describe my art and design, it would be mood boards, clean and chic. I always always always start on Pinterest finding the best inspiration for what I’m about to work on, that always gets the juices flowing. I tend to lean more toward a combination of graphic design and fashion. I’m all about organic fonts, graphic elements and pastel/neutral colors however sometimes I do love using bright colors as well, it really just depends on what I’m working on. In school, I did a variety of projects, anywhere from designing a whole info-graphics campaign with a poster, magazines, and interactive elements to packaging projects where I would have to design and craft everything myself, definitely a LOT of tedious work, you have to be super detail oriented. My goal of design is to always cater to my final target audience, I just want my designs to captivate people, even though not everyone knows good design or appreciates it, that doesn’t matter to me because I will always put out my best work.
How can artists connect with other artists?
Finding other creatives! Instagram is such a good platform to find like-minded people, I swear like half of my friends either found me or I found them via Instagram. As for designers, I find that sometimes when talking design lingo or the amount of work and effort that actually goes into design to any non-designer can sometimes be daunting because they don’t fully understand but most of the time people love hearing the process. I just recommend putting yourself out there, being active on social media and finding creatives who are like-minded.
Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
All of my work is on my website, www.brittramjit.com, there people can see both the design I do along with some of the photos I take with friends. I think the best way people can support other artists and designers is by referring to someone looking for that kind of work to a specific artist or designer.
