I am an art director (for now). I stumbled into that position much like I stumbled into being a designer; somebody asked me to do something on a computer, and I said yes... I never wanted to be a designer or an artist...

I learned everything I know about my trade OUTSIDE of a classroom. Granted, I don't know everything there is to know, but I'm not a fan of learning useless things either.

Because, when it comes to that .02 inch decrease in a round corner, it makes all the difference; only God knows why. Then there is that barely-there texture on pricey linen paper that, well, does things to a woman.
