I started my basic design career three years ago. I began by playing around with Adobe Photoshop and eventually began entering logo design contests on various webmaster forums. As the wins became frequent I became more interested.
I would enter contests regularly and my skills advanced over time. At this point in time I realized that for the rest of my life I would be a graphic designer, everything was seen in a different perspective now, a designers perspective. As high school was coming to an end I applied at the Art Institute of Seattle along with The Art Institute of Phoenix and was accepted by both.
After some thought, I decided on Seattle as it was closer to home. I then entered various scholarships and racked up a whopping $44,000. I entered The Art Institute's Poster Design Competition and won first place for my region which earned me $3,000. Some time after that, the national results were in and I had won second place for the nation! This earned me $20,000.
Next I entered The Art Institutes Portfolio Competition and ended up winning $20,000 for my personal portfolio! Lastly I entered a $1,000 scholarship and was awarded that aswell.
Starting fall 2008 I will be enrolled at The Art Institute of Seattle, majoring in Graphic Design to receive my Bachelors Degree.
