Hello

[ACK!]

Hi everybody!

My name is Amanda, but on the internet I like to be called ACK! I found this place through drorain, as I've kind of been in the market for a good graphic design forum without actually searching for one. :E

A little bit about myself? I just turned 20 this past Friday, and I currently go to school for graphic design (big surprise?) to get a bachelor's. I've been designing since I was about 12, and love doing it. I just recently got a, I guess you can say, contract freelance job, and I'm very excited about that. The main reason I'm here is to get some more ideas from people, and especially to find out how to promote myself with this new found confidence. :)

Other than that... HI! I don't normally do these things, by the way. XD

ACK! Welcome aboard! :D

Be sure to check out the threads posted HERE (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=42) - especially the New User FAQ (there is a link in that thread which explains most of the 'inside jokes' you'll run into on the boards) and the Linkage to Frequently Discussed Topics thread, which includes some helpful information on job hunting, portfolio building, and other relevant information.

Nice to have you on board. Any friend of Drorain's is a friend of mine. ;)

Hi Ack! That was your name, not me clearing my throat. ;) Welcome to the forum! This is a great resource for ideas and advice.

Hi ACK! You don't happen to speak Martian, do you?

[Craig B]

I can only guess that your initials are close to ACK!

Anyway, welcome to the boards!

Welcome Amanda, glad to see you’re here =), this place is fun, as you can see I been here forever. If you have questions feel free to ask! Congrats on the contract job, you’ll need to tell me the details sometime.

ACK! Come back! Fix me a snack! I'm getting some flashbacks, of the time when Jill met Jack. Maple syrup on a pancake stack. Drive back. Bicycle rack. Dirt track. Jet black. Tic tac. Coat rack...

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Anyone else get Billy Joel ni the head whilst reading that?

I don't get it. Excuse me...I'm sick, my brain is functioning at about 3% capacity.

have you heard the song? click (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq3PVHVn0kE)

the verses have a similar rhythm to what you posted. :)

[budafist]

I know the song. Been a while since I sang it during a drunken pyromaniac teen evening.
