I started my graphic design journey in a small institute called 'Red Apple Indian Institute of Industrial Training and Computer Education' which was 2 km away from where I lived - back in 2016.
But the idea itself for becoming a graphic designer was conceived during my 2nd year in college. That journey didn't end well. It was probably 2009,10. I enrolled in Arena Animation and quit abruptly after an 'incident' in Orkut! - But that story is for another time.
So back to 2016!
After learning the basics, I joined The Climber's mycaptain program online to further my skills. I thought I would become a 'professional' by 2017.
I opened Photoshop at the end of all of my training programs spanning a period of 5 months and, lo and behold, this (below) is what I came up with!
Looks like something that a kid would draw, right?
But at the time, this looked like a masterpiece to me. I even shared it with my tutor. I was extremely proud of my achievement - and I'm still proud of it today actually.
My other first 'pieces' in photoshop included a batman symbol, a woman I tried 'enhancing' from a TV Show, and a picture of my own face which I played around with - a lot.
I was like a kid in a candy store when I was inside Photoshop. I would try every single tool that I knew and try and create something - even though the end product looked....something like these (below):
[ I even put a mole above my lip - if you can see that is :D ]
And that's how my photoshop journey began.
It looked like everything was going good. I had this gut feeling that I was getting there - a 'professional' graphic designer.
But then I stopped. Again. For the second time.
For 2 years I did nothing. I don't know what happened, but you could say that it was probably a sense of disillusionment that I was feeling. (Partly because I started believing the negative voices in my head - telling me things like 'You'll never be a designer' or 'you're too old' or even 'look at your friends killing it out there in their respective industries')
And fast forward to August 2019 - which is this month. I have started learning again - slowly, one step at a time this time. And I've never felt so good in my life. :)
This time I've decided to stick to it, through the ups and the downs. And this blog is the result of my commitment to keep pushing. It might take a while to get where I want to be but 'blue eye candy' is definitely a way forward.
Have a swell day, fellas!
