		<description>Hi, I am a web &amp; graphic designer from India. I graduated with a BSc in chemistry, but I always had a love for art and creativity . Before I started my carrer in this field, I was trying my creativity thro  paintings and mehendi designs...  I decided to enter in this particular field, as I was confident that my creativity level is not so bad!! ;)  I design logos, layouts &amp; banners for web media. But my dream is to became professional designer in print media.... working hard for that :)
Thanks to ThePerfectDesign.com team for the opportunity to participate in this gr8 contest. Best of luck to all the contestants  and may the best logos win...Thanks! :0</description>

		<description>Arts and crafts -- that&#039;s so me!  Ever since I can remember, I loved to draw and create.  Currently, I channel my creativity through cakes.  (hinascakes.com)  It&#039;s a lot of time-consuming work, but I love the challenge to create something unique for my customers.  

Although I don&#039;t have formal training in graphic design, I do have a BS in Mathematics/Computer Science.  I am a fast learner and have taught myself the basics of many software applications.  To combine computers to create logos is the best of both worlds.  The possibilities of what can be created is limitless! 

I am so excited that you have offered this great contest!  It has been fun! Thanks!</description>

		<description>I have always been creative since a youngster and used to love drawing cartoons. I went to an Art and design college where I studied Graphic design and point-of-sale where I achieved an A grade in A level and a Distinction in a diploma of which  are both the highest awards in the exams I took. All this was back in 1981 and have now been a graphic designer for over 28 years. I started before computers were around so I am an original old school designer that used to use a drawing board, magic markers, scalpels and wax ...all a bit different from nowadays. My very first job was designing record and video sleeves in London using magic markers. I am now totally self taught on a Mac and in the CS softwares and more and work in Spain as a British freelance graphic designer. Over my time as a designer I have worked in Los Angeles, London and Marbella with clients as far away as Dubai and Bermuda. I still enjoy my time as a designer but nowadays competition is very tough with so many designers out there. I am having to learn new software all the time to keep up with the current design work required ...but my main work still lies in the print side of design.</description>

		<description>I have had a creative and artistic nature since my earliest memories.  I got in to graphic design by accident kind of....I have no formal training or schooling for it so I have taught myself everything through trial and error and tutorials.  Being a stay at home mom of two young boys its a great way for me to contribute to our family while still being able to raise my kids and do something that I love and allows me to be creative on a daily basis! Thanks for such a great contest!</description>

		<description>I wrote a couple of paragraphs about myself on here last night but I don&#039;t know why they didn&#039;t showed up. Maybe they were long or something. Anyways, I started going into web/graphic design back in high school. I&#039;ve always been good at drawing and painting ever since I was a kid. I&#039;m also a musician so seeing all kind of cool designs from the bands I listen to kind of inspired me too. When I went into the  graphic design field, I felt very comfortable. I&#039;m planning on starting to go into photography soon because it&#039;s good for graphic designers to know a little bit of that too. I&#039;m still studying graphic design in college but I had to stop taking classes for a while due to financial reasons because I&#039;m not working right now. The economy thing is affecting almost everyone so I guess it&#039;s not just me. Hopefully I can start again with my classes once I find a good job again. As for what I prefer, web or print, I like web more than print, because I believe web is more fun. I love designing web site templates, logos and video/audio editing and authoring. And I like to thank ThePerfectDesign.com team for the opportunity to participate in this fun contest.  Best of luck to everyone and may the best logos win :) Thanks.</description>

		<description>Hello! Thank you for the opportunity to let us all participate in this fun contest. It&#039;s always nice seeing graphic designers from every corners of the world coming together and showing off their great talents and critiquing one another. So thank you ThePerfectDesign.com team.

I came to the United States when I was 13 years old, from a war-torn third-world country. Ever since i was a kid I&#039;ve loved drawing and painting. As a kid, I always had a sketch book with me wherever I went and drew whatever i saw. Unfortunately, coming from a war-torn country, there weren&#039;t any nice things to draw/paint except sadness. So after we came to the U.S., I fell in love with graphic design after playing around on an old Compaq computer playing around on Paint. It didn&#039;t take me long to start designing web site layouts and logos. When I started high school, that when I really got into the whole graphic design thing. I was awarded the &quot;outstanding web designer&quot; by my high school&#039;s web design department in my senior year. Around the same time, I was also busy studying music which is something that later on I decided not to make a career out of and instead leave it just as a personal thing. I started attending a community college studying graphic design and I was still going towards getting my degree in graphic design but recently had to stop taking classes due to financial issues.  But I&#039;m not the only one getting affected by the whole economy thing right now so hopefully the economy will get better soon and I can start taking classes again. I&#039;ve finished most of my classes though and I spend a lot of time just designing stuffs like web site templates, logos, business cards, flayers and etc.

I&#039;m a really fast learner. Anyone I design stuffs for, I tend to teach them something about graphic design and printing if they&#039;re someone who doesn&#039;t know much about those things. I believe everyone should know a little about everything. I&#039;ve been a graphic designer for several years now but I like to think that I&#039;m still a beginner. I prefer to work mostly with the web than printing though. To me, the web is much more fun. However, graphic designers should ALWAYS know about printing and interactive design too. Anyways, I just wanted to share a little bit about myself to everyone on here :) And good luck to all the contestants and may the best logos win. Thanks!</description>
