1.1

My name is Emily Hughes and I am a student of Graphic Design at South University. Currently, I am of junior standing and should attain my B.S. in the field in about a year. Before entering the graphics program at South I had zero experience using any of the Creative Suite software and was forced to learn by trial and error. With the guidance of my professors and some aid from my peers, I feel like a have accomplished much in a relatively short period of time.

In addition to the degree that I am presently in pursuit of, I also have a B.A. of Studio Art. Having a fine arts background has helped me immensely in my current program. I have employed my knowledge of complementary colors and perspective as well as general creativity in my design work.

The piece displayed on the left is a self-promo that was an assignment in my ad design class last quarter. The original photograph was a full body shot that I have cropped considerably in a manner that I found interesting. I wanted to create a stylized image of myself to illustrated the skills I have acquired thusfar. The letters Mle printed in large font come from a "nick name" I gave myself in middle school. At the time I thought it was very clever and I guess I still do as evidenced by this piece.
