As the title says. Well Off when I was in 6th grade, about 5-6- years ago, I got into the internet hype about onlin blogs and websites, similar to myspace.com I had such a drive to create stunning unique work, I stayed up into the late nights learnign codes and experimenting. Then about the following year, I got into competitive game play, and teamwebsites were introduced to me as a new thing, I used clan templates to create sites, but then i decided, I want to incorporate my own work, my own ideas, and Not others ideas and have my own unique site. So from there I started a journey doing what ever design work that came up, giving people free sig's, banners, and what ever else. Then about my 8th grade year I lost dire interest, and stopped unless I wanted something done. I discontinued free designs and aimed to improve my photoshop skills and codnig to my own usage. Now I stand here freelancing and doing small clients.

Main thing that got me into it, is that it was somethign that was a challenge, I remember first opening photoshop, i got impressed with a gradiant. As I got into it, it was a way to identify your self and your style.

My mom defiently influenced me because of her past in arts and graphic design and its fun ..so why not plus its soo much easier than going and breaking my back doing some manual labor when i could be sitting at my pc kicking back watching tv and designing a logo or making a website coding something blah blah its just...arts amazing i love all art i draw alot lol and do all types of artistic stuff lol.

Halo PC. :P
In the Fall of 2003, my brother told me that they made Halo for PC (I loved the Xbox version), so I downloaded the demo. I couple days later, I owned it.
From there, my brother directed me to an old Halo modding website (Halo-mods.com, now located at ModHalo.net). It was the best site ever. From there I saw other people making signatures and everything. I was inspired to make my own website, with my brother. we bought ModHalo.com and put up a Dreamweaver template. Years later, we're both doing web design work, we have our own websites, and all that.

I got into designing when i found out that i need Photoshop to make a cool signature in forums :P. Simple ^^

are you serious haahhahah thats amazing what wwere u wanting to make a sign for??

Pablo Picasso resisted school stubbornly and seemed completely unable to learn to read or write. To other students grew used to seeing him come late with his pet pigeon -- and with the paintbrush he always carried as if it were an extension of his own body.

I dont know, i saw in forum people do sigs, and then i asked how and they told me to get PS. So i started from there.

Yeah, small things lead us to get to want to do bigger things. Its emazing.
