cb designers future plans, discussion Options

[brooklyneast05]

let's talk about your past and future with graphic design.

what made you initially get into design? for those of you are pretty heavily into designing now, where do you plan to go with it? do you plan to pursue it in college(if you aren't already) or are you planning on doing something else? if you're planning on doing something else professionally, do you think you'll still continue to do design in the future anyway?

^I don't remember you calling me a bitch...was it just to yourself or did you actually say it to me? I pretty much remember everyone that was ermm...difficult with me, and I don't remember you being one of them.

I actually started on the nick.com message boards when I was ten. They allowed you to have HTML signatures, and I just thought they were so cool and taught myself how to do them. They were really gross...millions of filters, glow, borders. Yuck. Then I got a xanga account and the same thing happened. I opened around six sites on there. All of them were pretty popular, but my designs were horrible. When I came to the depressing realization that xanga was dead, I moved to Myspace and started Schizo. That's when I first tried submitting to CB. I had a lot rejected, but I eventually got pretty good (if I may say so myself) and my accepted submissions brought me 20,000 Myspace friends. I then opened Atomic Affliction, got on staff here, yada yada yada, here I am now.

I actually can't see myself doing anything with web design after high school. I just feel like I'm supposed to do something else, but I have no idea what. Even though it seems like I'm making a ton of money now, it won't be as much once I have to pay bills and such. I just think that being numero uno out of a class of 988 people is telling me I should go for a career in law or medicine or something like that. At least I still have three years to mull it over.

I doubt anyone will read that book of a post, but it was nice reminiscing.

lol, I replied to you when you rejected that first layout I made.

EDIT:

actually, it was that one you rejected I made for a 'request'. Oh god. haha. LMAO.
