I have always been into art since I was little, and I always knew that I wanted an art-involved job. My interest in graphic design began in middle school actually, when my mom mentioned that I would be good at it. So I kinda kept it in the back of my mind and when high school came around, I became involved in a lot of art classes and a few design classes. All of my teachers noticed my gift for it, and they encouraged me to continue my art/design education. One of my counselors mentioned that KU had one of the best design programs out there, so we decided to check it out...and I just loved the campus and everything about KU. Ever since our first visit, I knew that I was going to end up coming here.
I also knew that all companies are in need of graphic designers, so with a degree in graphic design, it figured that it should be fairly easy to find a job, as long as the economy hasn't gone completely down the hole by the time I graduate. I thought about other majors that you can get in art, and some of them you can't really get a job in (such as painting, sculpting, etc.) so graphic design was my best bet, and I could really enjoy it.
With a career in graphic design, I really hope to create art and designs that are different and not just cookie-cutter. I want to create art that will make others stop and think, and maybe even inspire them. I want it to make them feel good. I'm not quite sure as to exactly what I want to design (billboards, logos, advertisements, packaging, etc.) No matter what my job ends up to be, I want to encourage others and make them happy...maybe even turn their days around.
