I'm in a class this semester that is supposed to help the graduating illustration majors figure out what their personal style is and to develop a portfolio to get a running start out the door. Nice idea.

Most people totally redo their portfolio after they graduate.

But it is a nice idea. And so I dutifully dragged in all the work I have done in all of my classes and I mentioned that I also did some digital stuff "on my own." Digital work was never seen in a very good light in my programme, so I had learned to keep it to myself. To make a long story short...

I am going to be graduating with an all digital portfolio! Yay me!

We actually have an electronic imaging department, but I choose the illustration department, because I have a lot of respect for traditional media and for being able to actually draw. I can pick up traditional techniques very quickly and effectively, but for some reason my brain does not compose images on paper very well. It's some sort of wierd block, because if you get me on the computer I do just fine.

Maybe it is the Undo button and the concept of Layers.
