Experience
Since my Sophomore year in High School, I have been taking classes that involve the study of Graphics. Throughout the courses, I have learned a great deal of information regarding production, artwork, design, and leadership. Along with learning all of this information, I was also able to display my knowledge by accepting and completing jobs requested by the general public. The experience I have had in these courses have helped me get a feel for a real world working enviroment.

After the completion of Graphics I, I qualified to progress to the next lever- Graphics II. In this course, I have learned to further improve my design skills as well as help others with their work.

Graphics II not only taught me how to become a better designer, but also a better student.
