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."
