Why are you a graphic designer?

    I think it is nature. As a kid, I had a good understanding of shape & line quality and how colors work well (and not well) together. It must be something in the brain that makes someone a visual person, or a math, music, etc.

    One odd thing I noticed... When I look at photos (family pictures, anything), I spend a great deal of time looking at each one, whereas the person next to me looking at the same pictures will just flip through each one in a matter of a couple seconds. It's as if I am trying to process every little thing in the photo or find some hidden object. I hold it in front of me for a minute or so. I dunno why I do that.

    I went to school for architecture, but didn't like the math involved. I only wanted to design.
