Bethany Gil

Much like any child given pencil and paper, I substantially enjoyed scribbling down and creating different designs and drawings in my younger years, however after the first year of secondary school - a year of art and design - it felt as if my passion had burned out.

It came only in the subsequent year when I had the serendipitous encounter that was graphic design and the ardour had returned, igniting the dying flame once again, but this time stronger and larger than ever before.

Before long, I had found myself installing Adobe Photoshop and watching or reading a plethora of tutorials, whether they involved creating bespoke and bizarre designs or manipulating type and photographs to produce a successful outcome. After creating these, I would be eager to show them off and receive positive feedback and constructive criticism.
