It isn't just awesome art...

Just the other day, during class, we had a guest speaker who really inspired me. She too, was a graphic design major who had attended Keiser University. I have been told that you can not make a living using Photoshop alone, and yet she stood there telling us that's exactly what she does. I found myself fascinated by her photography and artwork. Afterward, I really wanted to sit down and re-explore the world of Photoshop. Sadly, I find myself so busy an unable to do so, but I was even inspired by her portfolio, not only what was in it, but its layout. She had spent a lot of time putting it together and making it look very professional. I was really impressed. I would like to invest in a portfolio similar to hers.
It seems that many people forget that even with the absolute perfectly designed piece of art, a poor presentation can ruin the entire thing. For this reason, I wanted to express my gratitude for having her in class, and thank her for the inspiration to challenge myself and try harder to build my professional status.

  1. I am glad you met and enjoyed Laurie's presentation and work. I will forward this to her and hopefully the two of you can speak more. She would definitely not be a bad mentor (and she too may grow from the experience).
