Why I Choose Graphic Design
Ever since I can remember I've always had a very strong passion for
viewing different works of art such as photography, illustration, and paintings.
However, the desire to create and the learn skills myself has been extremely
important in my life as well.
Not long after I completed high school, the age of the personal computer had
already made it's major debut and my interests expanded into this technology.
As technology expanded, art, design, and computers began merging together.
This allowed the ability to make digital illustrations, photography, and
image editing, via the computer, a standard form of practice.
The outcome was, my two favorite passions, merged together. Today, I bring those
passions as an art, a science, and a gift to share with others.
