My name is Nana Kojo Dua-
Awere Ocrah, better known by @
nkaydesignconsult, on Instagram,

dua-awere on Facebook, I am a
Graduate graphic designer from the
University of Education Winneba,
Ghana. I decided to be professional
graphic designer because I have
always been surrounded by creativity.
Art is a way of life it’s not static but
dynamic with time. This is factored
in its production that is when
art is brought to life. This is idea
conceptualization. The generation of
ideasthroughbrainstormingbringsto
life art (but in small /broken pieces).
Theseideasareorganizedbymeansof
conceptualization to give these pieces
a meaning. In every design I make I
go through the design process not
mechanically but to suit the type of
work or target I plan to achieve.
My work is a constant search for the
best way to interpret the ideas that
I have about myself and the world I
live in. I do not limit myself to one
medium,style,orconcept.Inspiration
and ideas change. I get my inspiration
from works done by other graphic
designers, movies, video games and
from the environment at large. Ideas
and inspiration comes from diverse
placesforme.Knowledgechangesand
I have developed over the years. I can
confidently say that I try to improve
upon every mistake I encountered
over the years.
Each piece I create is simultaneously
an extension from the past, where I’ve
come from and what I’ve learned, as
well as a preview of the future, where
I’mgoing.Manyofthetraditionaland
contemporary graphic design trends
can be seen in my work; my layouts,
typography design, illustrations, logo
design, and outdoor advertising just
to name a few.
I like the idea that methods doesn’t
necessarily need function, but I also
like the idea of Maryam Dafeiyan
that function has to work with form
and form has to work with function.
If a viewer stops for just a moment to
view and reflect on a design piece I
have created, then I have succeeded
in my work.

According to https://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/Web_design Web design
encompasses many different skills
and disciplines in the production
and maintenance of websites. The
different areas of web design include
web graphic design; interface design;
authoring, including standardised
code and proprietary software; user
experience design; and search engine
optimization. Often many individuals
will work in teams covering different
aspectsofthedesignprocess,although
some designers will cover them all.
The term web design is normally used
to describe the design process relating
to the front-end (client side) design
of a website including writing mark
up. Web design partially overlaps web
engineering in the broader scope of
web development. Web designers
are expected to have an awareness
of usability and if their role involves
creating markup then they are also
expected to be up to date with web
accessibility guidelines.
