The reason I am back in school is the love of art and how it can intermingle with technology. After having worked in manufacturing for more than twenty years, I havedecided to change directions to graphic design on the web. I realize that a career changeis like swimming upstream against a strong current. Choosing Interactive Media is the cutting edge. Designing for the web is more fascinating than other graphic design pursuits.My goal is an Associates Degree in Interactive Media. To learn everything I can about this fascinating field is another goal. I'd like a challenging career and plan on bringing this wish to fruition.
