Kreative Kids

                 I always catch myself daydreaming in class at least twice a day, just wondering how I

 got here and how I decided on the major that I have chosen to presue. I begun to remember  that it all started back in fourth grade. I transferred schools and had to start my school life all over again. My only hobbies were video games, comic books, and cartoons. I enjoyed them all because they took my mind off school and kept me entertained. One day while in class, we had our first group project. I admit I was a little nervous because I was new to the class and I was placed in a group full of guys that had known each other for awhile. The assignment was to find something in common that everyone could relate to, we started throwing ideas out and we noticed we all liked graphics and animations. From that day on we became bestfriends.

                 A couple years later we begun to read more and our minds grew curious. We wanted to know everything about graphics arts and design. We finished our work early just to use the extra time to learn more about it. Once we found out the basics we decided to start our own company called "Cartoon Central". It's funny now that I think about it, as young as we were. It was amazing to see a group of young boys with the mind set of ambition and determination. we were not going to let anybody tell us that we couldn't make our dream come true.

                 By 7th grade, I realized how far we came with our company as well as our friendship. We all agreed on making a cominc book, we sold them in the library after school and in a week we made a hundred dollars.That's when I foumd the passion for graphic arts. Just knowing I could make a career and get paid for doing something I love. I moved to Huntsville, AL my freshmen year of highschool. Even though I moved away from my friends I never lost interest in graphic designing and now I can design almost anything. Websites, cartoons, party flyers, etc. The ony thing I haven't had a full understanding of is designing games, and that's one reason why I decided to attend Jacksoville State University and major in Graphic Arts and Design. Art is a way to express yourself however you want without any rules, theres no limitation.
