I got my hands on Adobe Photoshop in 1997 during my studies at the Kuwait English School in Kuwait. Since than i´ve learned different programs which are dealing with graphics and with growing skills grew also my obssession for graphic design and visual arts.
Photoshop was the best way for me to start with. I did lot of illustrations, photomanipulations and retouching but somehow later on this just wasn´t enough for me. Since i´ve used the pen tool a lot for illustrating vector graphics was the next step to follow. Working in Adobe Illustrator combined with Photoshop and indesign got me few jobs as DTP graphic but after few years it got kind of borring to border my work in 2D space. This need to learn something new pushed me into 3D programs like Rhinoceros. When I discovered the possibilities of animation my curiosity was aimed on complete different sort of graphics - motion graphics. Adobe premiere was the first one on my list. Real time video sure is fun but not as much as applying After Effects. The video editing and graphic design was a great motivation for learning another component which would make it possible to reduce file size and present my work on the internet. I´ve always admired flash sites for their dynamic behaviour and felt pretty confident to apply my skills in flash animations. Worked kind of different as -I tought but it took me app. one year to learn the animation techniques in Flash.
Graphic design became more and more interesting when combining all the skills and programs since it makes everything possible. From single logo design to complete corporate identity, with marketing visuals, internet banner adds, to multimedia CD video presentation, where all you need is one PC, programs and a graphic designer. There is no limit...
