I,Shana Forster .I am 18 years
young, possess many talents and  Graphic Design is one of
them. Creative ideas  circluate  my brain  all day
and everyday.  I  found one of my creative outlet  5 years
ago, which was using the programs JASC Paint Shop Pro  and JASC
Animation 3 to create graphic designs and editing photos. Idiscovered  these
two programs when my Mom bought me my own  DELL Windows XP computer
and  I taught myself how to use the programs  by using them 
frequently. As I got a little bit older I realized graphic design my passion
and a talent. In my art I include images that my heart desires and has passion for such as ;
music, bright colors next to dark shades, letters, numbers, texture, anything intricate , unique, mysterious and edgy art work
photography, fashion, drawing, intelligent(creative&like-minded) individuals/groups, helping anyone, and writing poems. I 
found out that  creating  graphic art/designs
and  every other passion and talent I have can be  my
career. 
At 16 I  ocassionaly  created flyers and banners
for a Indie record label called  Resin Music  which
I discovered  through Myspace.  That's when photography 
entered  my life, because  my friends and I would always want to
take pictures for our Myspace  profile.  With that happening 
I  would use a digital  Kodak camera  and take  about 500
pictures a day, upload them and edit them for fun.  I  did that for
a year and a half straight,  everytime I used the camera
I  would hold  it a different way ,  use my 
flexible  arms and hands  to  extend the camera 
while angling it.  My friends would always  say "Why do you hold the
camera  werid like that?"  I replied "Like what? How is 
this werid?". I never held the camera the usual way  individuals
would,  almost everyone who watched me take a picture of
myself started to operate the camera and there arms like I did. I
thought it was awesome and funny at the same time.  
A few months
after I turned 17 I  started to create graphics that  were 
more creative and  detailed.  Last year in September  I 
took a Graphic Design & Digital Pre-Press course at S.C.R.O.C  for
free since I still  attended Extended Campus  and enrolled
at Torrance High School . I thought  it would be a good  idea
to  see what that field is about. Also to  learn what I didn't teach
myself  at home using the program JASC PaintShop
Pro  7  , learn how to use Adobe programs on  a Mac
computer such as  Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2,  and InDesign
CS2.  In November I entered a  graphic design contest to  have
a chance of winning a 5,000 dollar scholarship towards the graphic design
class at The Art Institute of Orange County. I  entered the contest with
this graphic   


 I made from using 
one picture that I took myself, font, and effects with the JASC PaintShop Pro
7 program.
I'm not attending The Art Insititue of Orange County 
because  I'm not  ready for college yet.
The year 2007 has
been the best year of my life so far, because I  learned a lot  from
different people and  twice I met   Peter Wentz who
is  from Wilmette, Illinois.  This amazing
individual  inspired me to write poems  by his unique lyrics and
poems. Also inspired me to learn guitar , learn bass, view life
on a different perspective, read more then I used to, pick up a
dictionary and more.A month after I turned 18  Super Stars
management contacted me to create a logo for their company , that
was my first  professional graphic design project .  After
that I wanted more graphic design projects  on my
to-do list so I decided to create this page to  get my 
voice heard .
