Why a Creator?

So it occurs to me that I should explain the title of this blog. Why creator? Why not designer, since I'm going to school for design? To add to this confusion, I'll answer the second question first. The thing about calling one's self a designer is that it's horribly vague. Graphic designers, fashion designers, and interior designers all use the word 'design' as if it only refers to what they do. Their are lots of business called [name here] Design, and there's no way to know which kind they do without visiting their website. I want a word that will either let people know exactly what I do, or at least force them to ask. I don't want to just be another 'designer.'

So why creator? Well, to me, the creation of something is a wholistic process, including inspiration, research, revision, prototyping, and production. Art to part, as they say. I want to do all of that, not just make pretty pictures of a neat idea. I want to take my ideas and make them REAL. I want to create.
