Intro

For my first class in Beginning Digital Arts, it was a little intimidating to be honest. I switched in late to the class, so I missed the first class meeting. Everyone had already worked on an html project and I had no experience with html, so I was a little worried about the class. I read up on the project and was then confident about getting it done and catching up. We then worked in Adobe Illustrator which I am already familiar with, so I got less worried and more excited to hone my digital arts skills.

I'm currently a Junior at the University of Tampa and I am studying Sport Management. I have a big interest in photography, and Photoshop and Illustrator are great complements to it as a hobby. I thoroughly enjoy traveling and have taken around 10,000 photos in almost 15 different countries. I'd like to study abroad and further my understanding and experience of other cultures.

I expect to learn a lot in this course that I will be mostly using as a hobby. I likely won't continue in this field professionally, but I feel that it is something I will continue to do on the side for my whole life. Since that is the case, this class will definitely be of use to me. I'd absolutely be open to continue traveling and contribute to travel blogs or find some way to monetize my hobby, while still enjoying it and all of the other things I enjoy like sports.
