About Reeks

I just want to tell anyone who stumbles across this page a little about where I come from and how I ended up here. I moved to Seattle from Carlsbad, New Mexico where I graduated high school and attended a community college for two years. I was unsure of what I wanted to do so I took a bunch of gen. ed. classes my first year. I found out that the school started doing teaching media productions and did a year of that. This was when I discovered I really enjoyed graphic design. I had to get out of that town, all my friends had already left to Albuquerque. I considered moving to Alb. but had a change of heart and moved here. My father lives about two and a half hours away and is helping me out while I live on my own. So I just started my third quarter at the International Academy of Design and Technology-Seattle...(sound like an asshole right?) I am going for an AA in Visual Communications which is basically a mix of graphic design and media classes. So far it is a lot fun, but also insanely stressful. I am enjoying school a lot it has changed the way I see things, for instance I now notice things that I never noticed before i.e. photoshopped photos, awful movie edits, good advertisements and horrible one.

So I am having fun for now, but I am contemplating moving to Albuquerque. I like it up here but I see myself getting more inspiration and ideas from my friends back in the Land of Enchantment. But until I finish my Vis. Comm. AA I will be up here in the meantime.
