Week 1 EOC: About Me

I am Melina Thompson and I want to be a web designer. In a few quarters I am going to graduate from the Art Institute of Las Vegas with a Bachelor’s Degree of Science: Web Design and Interactive Media. The reason why I choose to go into Web Design and Interactive Media is because I love computers. So the reason why I have gone to this school is because it has given me the ability to design and code with computers. This is what I love about Web Design. I love the Adobe Creative Suite Program, because that is what gives me the ability to design and code. For example, I have learned from Illustrator how to design logos, billboards and posters. I have also learned from other programs as well, which were: Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects, Final Cut, and Premiere. My main coding program is Dreamweaver; it gives me the ability to see the difference between different codes, because of its color coding system with the code. I would I have to show sometime what I mean and in fact I would love to. However, I have not designed any websites for anyone because I am not prepared for that type of job yet. I would like to be though and that is what I look forward to in the future. Plus I have design my portfolio which I am really excited about, but also kind of scared because of the fact that I do not know what I need to know in order to design my portfolio. So I can only hope that in the future before I graduate I will have enough knowledge to do my portfolio and graduate from this school so that I may go on to a life filled with what I love to do.
