I decided that I should be a web designer because I like both graphics and the way they are applied on the web.
I believe that you should be able to control the way you are portrayed in life should be controlled. There is no
better way to do that then to add your own content. If they control your content then they own you. I wanted to sell
myself. I didn't want them to sell me! I have to learn how to market myself as a company while learning to work as
a team. Over the course of my time time at Tri-C I hope to learn how to work as a designer and then market my designs
as a professional web designer who deserves the right to develope web sites for my customers. Hopefully my teachers
will give me the tools and the uses of them to make my goals a reality!
