Well gosh, where do I start when it comes to being a graphic design major and why I chose to be one.. well to be honest it all started from a very young age I was always so interested in Art and my chilhood consisted of continuously filling coloring books up with marker, colored pencil, and crayon (my favorite as a child) as well as drawing I was very interested in the ways things looked, and composition. I used to always layout my barbie dream house with different furniture designs and make new bed sheets and pillow cases so that Barbie would always have a new design to spice up her dream house. Being a creative child has led me to become a creative adult and my parents and the school's I went to also led me to the place I am at today.
In high school (I went to Blue Valley North in Overland Park, KS) I was in heaven with how many art classes i had access to and took nearly everything that I had time for. Ranging from interior design, fashion, graphics 1, 2, and 3, Photography, Digital Photography, and drawing and painting I have covered a large span of Art in my 4 years at high school and it was not until my Junior year that I finally came to the decision of Graphic Design after a KU student came to talk to my Graphics class, her name was Mallissa Oliver and after seeing what she had accomplished just shortly after graduating from KU I wanted to do nothing other than Graphic Design for well, the rest of my life. After that point and a lot of research about the Graphic Design program here at KU I began to put together a portfolio to turn in the fall/winter semester of my senior year. And now look at me now, sitting in the Watson Library writing about why I have chosen to be a Graphic Design major.
Talk to you guys soon!!
