This will be the blog I use for my intro to computer graphics class. While I'm in this class I hope to further my learning of various digital tools in order to...um...open up more options for my...um personal work....does that sound ok...I'm horrible with speaking....

I basically want to keep up with the digital age and I feel that using the computer as a tool for art making is essential in order to compete with others in the art world. I'm really interested in design as a philosophy in a sense that I'm curious to understand how people react to the various principles of art. How does a person react to a certain line if its placed in front of a certain color? What type of reaction will I get when I mix this type of text with a certain image and then adjust the opacity of the image? I'm very much intimidated and interested by design for the reason that there are infinite things a person can do with design.

I found this magazine on the ground a few days ago and it got me really excited about design.

This website was featured in an article in the above mentioned publication. Again really cool stuff.
