    Hi Everybody!!!
    (the usage of Comic Sans was completely warranted.)

    My name is Joe, I'm 26 years old, living in Maryland where my fiance and I are raising our 4 month old daughter, and I'm addicted to good design. I've been working as a professional graphic and web designer (I like to call myself an All-Purpose Geek, because I do just about all things computer) for about 6/7 years now. I currently work as a freelance designer, though I'm really trying to transform my business model away from freelance and more towards contracts, I am also part owner of a small clothing company based here in the DC area.

    I'm mostly self-taught, though I spent some time at the Art Institute of Atlanta a lot of my training just comes from trial and error and finding the info on my own. I am, however, thinking about going back to school and getting my degree. I'd also like to get a better foundation and really sharpen my technique which I feel is tough to get solely from a book.

    I look forward to some constructive conversations with you all in the near future that result in me learning a lot from what seems to be a passionate and talented group of people ... hopefully I can provide the same for some of you.

    Either way, long story just a little longer: I look forward to contributing to the board.

                            That's how I know I joined a good design forum ... everyone has ADD and can't stay on one subject for more than 5 minutes.

                                Isn't that what a portfolio, online or physical is for?

                                So I been working on logo illustration, and coming to closure I realized this has wayyyyyyy to many anchor points. It has over 617,000 anchor points and the file size is huge. The AI file size is 9.6...

                                Sorry, I meant use the space they're in now, just to better effect. I like the actual layout of the poster; it's just not conveying the right mood yet.

                                Fair point. I was thinking I would have to replace the whole thing, but I certainly could keep some works and just swap out as needed.

                                So I'm considering it to study graphics design. I consider myself very creative and open minded but i'm not sure if this is what I should do? I've just Matriculated last year and need...

                                In regards to style I think it looks...well messy. It reminds me of something you would get doing autotrace. Strange shapes curves etc. I personally would like more hair like shapes. Nice smooth tapering...
