My folks divorced when I was quite young, my mum then marrying an architect. While I lived with them I was encouraged towards art, drama, writing etc, but also really enjoyed computers and graphics and the 'reasoning behind design' - always asking questions, always wondering why. When I moved in with my Dad, he encouraged me along more traditional lines, so despite showing an aptitude for design (top of my year for pre-Gcse technical drawing (my academic zenith), always drawing, etc) I decided to do formal non-artie courses (whilst at the time doing graphics for pirate games intros, 'designing' all my schoolwork in Deluxe Paint on the Amiga and making graphics for a couple of crappy DIY games), so I could get to university - where I did one of the first courses in the UK dabbling in nascent web design.
It was only when I left to work with at North East England's main newspaper company in the web design department, I think, where I realised I could actually make a career out of 'being a designer' (of sorts) doing what I enjoy - graphics via computers.
