College:
Cal State University
of Fullerton
Major:
Graphic Design

Goal:
After graduation, Kelli will be attending a four-year university where she will further her goal in becoming a Graphic Designer.

According to Kelli’s essay she will use her creativity and love for art to insure her success as a graphic designer. In pursuing her career choice, her college education will enable her to learn the many different interests of graphic design; not just focused on one specific trade. Instead, there are many matters involved, such as, photography, fine art, and animation.

In her high school education, two classes, fundamental art and design gave her a small insight about graphic design. Within the two classes, Kelli was able to draw, paint, use pictures and create all different sorts of artwork. In addition, in her keyboarding class she learned to type, construct web pages, and form other visual illustrations, e.g., a slide show.

With Kelli’s strong interest in all aspects of art design and her determination to further enhance her knowledge, success will be hers!
