Introducing myself, always makes me feel like I just reached the end of a hard test in school only to discover I need to include an essay.... Not only do I need to know the answers to the test, now I need to be clever, interesting and insightful, awww the anxiety and pressure lol......

Anyway my name is Amelia, I am currently in the awesome state of Minnesota, starting my first year of college soon. I am Both My parents are in the military so I have lived all over. My roommate is studying graphic arts and school and has introduced me to the wonders of it. I have always loved art, and creating things, such as drawing, painting and writing, I also love to knit, crochet and quilt. I am a huge gamer another perk provided by my family(5 brothers, I had to play video games or be left out) I love music, and TV and movies probably a little too much my favorite show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and One Tree Hill, Though there are so many more I can binge on. Currently Rizzoli and Isles and Everybody Loves Raymond are my obsessions, movies are harder to pinpoint as a favorite, but I guess I would have to go with Jurassic Park, I am currently loving Citizen Kane, hence the username. My favorite thing to do other the then previously mentioned is reading. If I had to choose one activity to do for the rest of my life it would be reading. I love books.
I am hoping being here, will help my improve my graphic art skills, since I am currently considering that as my area of study in school. I really enjoy the steps, and intricacies that go into creating something. Just the brief glances I got on here are already exciting me, so far what I have seen is amazing and I hope to one day, be able to make art and incredible on here. Anyway that is my " Name, Security Code, and Rank" in a sense, hope I did not ramble on too much, or bore anyone too much.

Hey Tiffany. My brother is Navy. My parents are Marines. There is always a fun debate at family BBQ's and gatherings, when my brother and parents are together. Thanks for your message, I don't need anything at the moment, but I appreciate your help.

Hey Mari!!

My parents are currently stationed overseas, but will hopefully be stateside soon. For the most part my family is fun, but they all have their moments, especially since I am the only girl. I do hope being here will help me with my graphics, I am sure I have a lot to learn. I am checking out the tutorials right now and they seem like fun to do. I am excited to come up with my own creations so I can start a gallery. Anyway thanks for your welcome!! What made you so interested in the military? I am honored to have grown up in the military, soldiers are truly amazing, and being surrounded by them is a gift.

Edit: Your signature by the way is beautiful, and a little intimidating, hopefully one day I can create something so amazing as that one day.

Welcome to the site, Amelia! I'm Xandra. That's probably the best analogy I've heard for introductions I've ever heard, and it's very true. It's always hard trying to figure out how to get it out there without rambling. The struggle. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it here. SP really helped me when I was taking graphic classes, so, hopefully, it'll help you as well! Definitely stop my the tutorial section, because that's where I spent a lot of time when I got into vectors and text in class. If you have any questions, let me know!

That's good to hear! I am a history major and I have read lots of first hand/ primary sources about letters that soldiers write before they go to major battles (e.g., WWII in Stalingraad, Vietnam War, Korean War) and movies that essentially revolve around war. I feel like people forget that there is a human side to every war and to every soldier and that's just amazing. Wowzies, look at me ramble! <3

Anywho, do not be intimidated! There's tons of amazing graphics here which were achieved through practice and continuous experimentation. Your signature is looking quite rad as well! c: Helped you out in the critique section. <3
