First I'd like to thank you again for visiting my portfolio here at Behance.net and taking the time to browse thru all my images.

I am a Graphic Designer who has been doing freelance work for the last three years. As most artists, I began with traditional drawing, moving on too exploring the use of art with technology. I am a self taught designer. I began using Adobe Photoshop to create many of my first designs. It was a very fun process learning the program and being able to create art work in a new form.

Since then I have decided to take courses in the Graphic Communications field at Tarrant County College. I am currently a student there working on receiving my Assoiciates in Graphics Communication Field and I plan to continue in school to receive a higher degree. While currently attending school I have learned many more techniques and ways to make my design better. I have also learned the use of many other programs in which I now use to create my work.

Softwares:

Adobe Photoshop
Adobe ImageReady
Adobe InDesign
Adobe Illustrator
Quark
Dreamweaver

Expanding my knowledge with the use of these programs has made me a more dynamic designer now that I know how to use the many programs used in the industry versus the use and knowledge of only one program.

Photography has always been a part of my life growing up. It was a hobby that my father loved. So naturally I picked up the hobby as a young teen mainly capturing images of my firends and manily of graffiti.

It was not until I began my studies in graphic design in which I learned about photography. I had always assumed it was about point , focus, and shoot. But I have learned that it is much more than that. I enrolled in a few Black & white Photography classesand I have learned to develope film and print my own images. The experience has been awesome and it is something that I hope to continue thru the rest of my life.
