So now I'm basically caught up on my blogs I'm just going to give you my opinion of the course/program up to this point.

What brought me to Charleston Southern University in the first place was the new graphic design program. I wanted the opportunity to join and grow with the program, I know it was a risk but so far, it seems well worth it.
The first semester was quite interesting and held a few suprises. I've always been interested in the software end of graphic design, as it was what got me interested in graphic design in the first place. You can bet I was kind of sad to find out we would'nt be starting out working with software. The first two classes we took in the graphic design program was Beginning Design and Drawing 1. Drawing 1 was a pretty self explanatory class, we draw and learn different techniques. This class didn't have much room for creativity but it was enjoyable, we were also required to keep a sketchbook, which was basically a drawing journal. Beginning Design was a hands on class that truly put our creativity to use and was a very enjoyable class.
What truly made my first semester a good one was the people i meet and the good times we had.
Though I like all of my fellow majormates, some of the people who really stand out are Melanie Tibayan, Morgan Simpson, Nikki Newsome and Mike Flowers. I'd just like to thank these people for being there and staying there.
The second semester is a work in progress, but i can definitely say I like it so far. I've finally got to software end of graphic design. I've always wanted to learn Illustrator, so i'm glad I get the chance to work with it. So far I've worked on projects that outline the basics of Illustrator and some logo projects.
I'm looking forward to the next three years in the CSU graphic design program. Thanks to everybody and a special thanks to Prof Speyers for keeping it interesting.
