Ever since I was a little girl I loved art like drawing and painting. I was an only child growing up and art was a way for me to express myself. When I was in high school I tried to take every art class I could. My junior year of high school I was taking a graphic design class, and I really enjoyed it. When I started Northern Kentucky University I started to realize that I wanted to major in visual communications.
Last semester I was attending University of Tennessee Chattanooga. I took a graphic design class while I was there. The last project we had in that class made me realize what kind of designer I wanted to be. For are assignment we had to create an image that we thought addressed an important issue in today's society. We were only allowed to use three colors for are artwork. Then we had to make stencils of are artwork, and spray paint are designs on illustration board. I wanted my artwork to talk about women’s rights. I decided to create an image in illustrator of the statue of liberty with a black bar across her face, and her holding a sign. During a critique everyone understood the message I was trying to convey. I realized then what kind of designer I want to be. I hope my artwork will question important issuing going on in the world, and help inspire people to make a change.
