When I first got into art all I could think about was drawing, printing, stenciling, collaging, and mixed media kinda stuff. Nothing had to do with computers or using any of these Adobe programs I've been learning at USF. I thought (and still think) that if I were to do anything in design it would never be web or super crazy computer graphic design.
Leaving high school I had no idea what I wanted or was I ever thinking about where the future was going with the field I want to study in college. All I knew is I wanted to create, so I decided to test this Design program out at USF. It has taken me so far and dragged me out of the small view of art that I was open to before and let me get my hands on some real technical stuff.
It still makes me sad that the art that I was so drawn to my whole life, print, is dying and surmising to the enormous path of the digital world. But I am adapting swimmingly by crossing boundaries I never thought I would by building websites. Using my Photoshop and drawing skills to make my websites unique and different then the average build website. All in all, in the end for me I want to be able to get up and back down in every different kinda of media I can weather its on the web or with a stick of lead in my hand.
