Who I am...
Josh of course. I grew up in central Illinois until I joined the US Navy in 2000. After 4 years of active duty I moved on to college. After 3 degree changes I finally found out that you can actually do graphic design as a job in the real world.
I started in web design and basic coding in highschool, I learned html and played on free sites such as GeoCities and AngelFire. While I was in the Navy I played around some with PHP and expanded to making sites for the gaming community. I got into online gaming and was making sites for all the guilds and clans associated with my groups. After a while I went to school for Business until someone told me about graphic design as a major. I now go to Heartland Community College full time to get my degree in communication media and graphic design. Check out my galleries for some example of things I have designed in print, web, logos, and just general graphics.
On my free time I do a lot of biking. I was once really into martial arts but time and money makes it hard to keep up with it, but I have found daily basic exersizes in my home have helped to hone both my body and my patience to help keep my mind running full speed throughout my day. Something else I enjoy doing is playing World of Warcraft. Ironically enough I used to make fun of the WoWers for being addicted to the game, now I understand why can't stop playing it.
