Hello :3

My name is Dakota, and I will be your designated newbie today. =D

I'm from eastern Ohio; not the most exciting place in the world, but I like it that way. Some of my hobbies include playing video games; RPGs (Such as Skyrim), MMOs (not WoW >:I), Fighting games (like SC, SF), MW3 and other shooters, including some online ones (I'm not a 12 year old rage-quitting squealer although when people say the word 'trash' it ignites the inner fires of my medulla-oblongotta); Magic: The Gathering is probably one of my favorite pass-times; and lastly, reading books.

As far as music goes, I'll listen to almost anything that isn't mainstream pop/hip-hop/whatever-the-heck-it-is. I prefer classical and techno.

Down to business I spose...

I use Photoshop CS4, I've used CS5 as well. I've got some of the basics down on Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Flash. I used Paint.NET for quite a while until I got Photoshop. Not to say that Paint.NET is replaced by PS because it isn't, PDN brings many things to the table that Photoshop doesn't, but I won't get into that.

I can't post any graphics right now, but I may update this thread with some of my work later.

Eventually I want to become a graphics and web designer.
