Personal Statement about myself:-

"Ever since I was a young child I have always dreamed of becoming a graphic designer. It has been a passion of mine from a young age. This passion has spurred me on to do the best I can, and give the most I can give to fulfil my dream of becoming a graphic designer. I feel one of my strongest points in this field is my creative ideas. I have had plenty of experience all throughout college in many areas of the profession, from computer and interactive media, to print and corporate based media. I have experience in many of the programs associated with Graphic Design such as Director, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver and Quark Express. I am enthusiastic and feel I work very well within a team. Overall I have a passion for Graphic Design."
