   I am interested in Graphic design because I love being able to edit photos and videos and draw attention to certain details within them. Recently this summer I started hiking and exploring many of the mountains here in good old New Hampshire, and some of the sights that I saw were incredible. I loved tinkering in Photoshop with these photos and cropping them, burning the edges, changing and altering the exposure and doing things to them that distorted what the viewer saw. I also love to draw and I would take a sketchbook up on top of those mountains and sketch the areas around me so that I could later bring it back down and create something on my computer. Part of the reason I love Graphic Design so much is because the possibilities are literally endless. The term “Graphic Design” covers such a wide arrange of areas itself and there is a vast array of concepts. I’m looking forward to what this class has to offer and the different things I have to learn.

   This reading opened my eyes truly to the vast extent of the amount of graphic design majors that there could be out there. I never really knew how general the term “graphic designer” really was. I always just assumed that graphic design was used to describe someone who played with photoshop or adobe products, but now I think I understand how ignorant I was.
   There is so many out there for Graphic Designers to do and my previous knowledge only scratched at the surface. I am starting to believe that Graphic Designers are the new age. I think that they have the power to not only influence the world, but change the world. They are the thinkers at Apple, or Android, and who work at Twitter and Facebook and Google and anywhere where there is technology. The world is an evolving place and it needs graphic designers to pave the way.
