WELCOME!

Welcome to my Photography, Design, and Everything Else blog. I am a photographer for fun (meaning I don't know too much of what I am doing) and an aspiring graphic design artist. I have always been somewhat interested in photography but really started getting more into it after I had my son. Last Christmas I got my first Sony SLR Camera and the world of photography hasn't been the same since. I still don't know too much but the fact that I can now take some clear pictures works good enough for me. Upon following a few photography blogs I started to realize that even if you don't take a perfect photo, you can create one through photo editing. DUH! I started to become interested and learning new things through video tutorials. This re-sparked a interest I always had for graphic design. I dont have much time to go back to school right now so I have been self-teaching myself as much as I can. Since then I have begun to make flyers, business cards, and magazine ads for the store/dispensery 4ever20. I started this blog as a way to share some of my work with the world and so you can follow along on my learning journey to not only become a better photographer but graphic design artist as well. Along the way I will also be sharing whatever else I think I need to at the time. ENJOY!

Kush La Ad

>> Sunday, September 13, 2009

Here is an example of a magazine ad I made for my teh store 4ever20 that will be in the September edition of KUSH LA magazine. It is a medical marijuana dispensary in Sherman Oaks. Where my graphic design skills come to life. I didn't know too much about graphic design before the store opened. I started learning stuff on photoshop shortly before they opened and was since then disgnated artist for the store as far as ads and stuff go. I mean it's free for them [for now] so of course they'd use me. And I get to start creating a portfolio with my work. Let me just say, it is so rewarding to see something I made into flyers that are being passed out, or IN A MAGAZINE [[even if the magazine is only seen by pot lovers]]. They even used something I made as a sticker for the store window and the sign hanging above the shop. It's really neat. Since then I have been asked by my friend to make flyers for the company she works for and my friend has bragged about me to others to make their ads for magazines. Hopefully I'll get to start making money off of all of this soon which is obviously my goal. Gotta learn a lot more so I can get faster at it now. Man the computer needs to start paying me for all the attention I give it. :)
