I was involved with a number of people who all liked to play the computer game StarCraft. They had their own forum to hang out in and many of the users had small banners to decorate their posts made by those who were artistically inclined. It was these simple images that first inspired me to create digital art and led me down the path I follow today. Through the many years of education I have come to develop my own style while holding knowledge on how to create a variety of images, based on the task at hand. I've been exposed to everything from business cards to alcohol packaging and how to effectively design for all of them. However, the one thing that truly drives my work is color. While I can design in black and white, to ignore color is to ignore my favorite part in all art. I've found great power and expression through the use of color and have been able to make many good pieces into great through its use. I am grateful for all the knowledge imparted to me through my education at Colorado State University and hope to utilize and grow from it as my career blossoms.Student worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
