I have been interested in art all of my life. I can't really describe the way I feel about it, It's just kind of a feeling; As I'm sure it is for most of you. Every day brings new challenges to designers. We need to solve complex problems with image, color, text, and layout. The future looks bright, and I just can't wait to make it look cool!
