"School life made me venture into Graphic Designing"_ Adebusuyi Adedotun, CEO, ADEFEM

*     Can we meet you?

I’m Adebusuyi Adedotun O. I am a graduate of the Department of Mass Communication, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State. I am majorly a trained Photographer but school life made me venture into Graphic Designing which won me an Award as the Graphic Artist of the year at my department.

*     For you, is Graphic Designing an hobby or a passion?

Well, it was born out of my love for photography, later it became my hobby. I really enjoy it when designing with my software.

*     Have you coined a name for your "Graphic Design" Brand? If yes, what is the name of your brand and the meaning of the name?

Yes! But unlike other Brands, I picked my Brand name (ADEFEM) from my name.

*     What is "Graphic Design" all about and how did you start as a Graphic Designer?

Hmm! Graphic Designing is basically an “ART!” that is put to reality through the aid of some system applications.  I had my training in photography in the year 2013 but I went into Graphic Design in late 2014/early 2015.

*     What else do you do apart from Graphic Designing?

Apart from Graphic Designing, I am into various things ranging from Shoe making, Fashion Designing, Instrumentation, PR and many more…

*     What perception about Graphic Design do you want to change in this modern day society that we live in?

Everyone sees Graphic Designing as a very easy job and because of this, they offer Graphic Designers especially the upcoming ones peanut as payment for service which should not be so. I would like people to start taking US (Graphic Designers) serious and give us the respect we deserve.

*     What is your advice for fellow Graphic Designers?

They should build their brand identity and maintain their standard in the business world.

8. Where do you see yourself in the next five to ten years?

I see myself as a leader in the Industry (Not Graphic Industry though) and also supporting young designers.
