Justin Trinh: capstone
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2025) Trinh, Justin, artist
The artist's statement: As a graphic designer, my creative practice strongly reflects my personal background and the importance that I hold towards wanting to bring out stories and culture that are often overlooked or underrepresented. I see design as a tool for communication, connection, and empowerment all while valuing creativity with aesthetics. Using my own experiences and interest in communications and media studies as inspiration, I believe that design has the power to challenge dominant narratives and change people's perspectives. My types of work include a wide variety of mediums, such as digital art, photography, and physical media. I showcase the richness of different lived cultural experiences that are usually stereotypically displayed in the general media. Design is something that we all encounter on a daily basis without even knowing it, and with that in mind, I use it in ways that bring out its true potential. In today's fast-paced, image-driven world, it's important as designers to be very intentional with certain design choices. My goal is to contribute towards a more inclusive world of design that celebrates difference and cultural heritage.
