The Fractal Professional

Fractal: self-similar, meaning that it can be broken up into parts which are a reduced copy of the whole. Infinite amount of details(parts) within details (parts)

In terms of being a creative it relates to knowing a little about everything. becoming a renaissance man of sorts so that you can relate to a large percentage of individuals (clients) from diverse backgrounds and professional fields.

The Different sectors of Design include Communication, New Media, Graphic, Product, Strategy and Fashion Design, as well as Architecture.

Strategy design is a fairly new sector that helps start-ups define what they want to accomplish as a business as well as helps existing companies reconstruct and focus their goals as a business.

Architecture is the oldest form of design, with its roots dating back to 1st century CE. The earliest surviving written work on the subject was accredited to the Roman Vitruvius (accepted as the first architect)

Graphic design is relatively new in comparison, with its roots being formed amongst the Bauhaus.

The Bauhaus was a school in Weimar, Germany started by Walter Gropius. The school was known for combining craft and fine art, graphic design being born out of this inter-fusion.

The work of a Fractal Professional is never definitive, but must be iterative.

Iterative: always changing/evolving/editing

You must be a controller and a facilitator
