ART 341 - #1

Why did you decide to become a graphic designer?

I was always interested in art ever since I was younger. It was one of the few subjects that I consistently did well in or even cared for. I was originally interested in illustration but gradually become more infatuated with graphic design, especially publication and packaging design. Truth is and as cliche as it sounds, I wanted to be an artist sans the "starving" part. I also always wanted to live a creative life surrounded by creative people, so why not choose graphic design? I'm extremely interested in publication and print work. I love doing zine covers and editorial layouts. I haven't really dabbled much in web but I'm almost positive I would enjoy that as well.
