Default 3 Things (Graphic Designer Background)

I'm curious to know...
When did you start doing graphic design?

How did you start doing graphic design (i.e., what programs did you use, did you start by going to school/courses for design, etc...)?


Why did you start doing graphic design? What was your motivation?


Ok, I guess I'll go first!
When did you start doing graphic design?
About 5 years ago, age 12.

How did you start doing graphic design (i.e., what programs did you use, did you start by going to school/courses for design, etc...)?
I started by using Paint. But I realized a bit later that my computer had come with a free trial of Paint Shop Pro 7. As it turns out the trial part of my 30-day trial malfunctioned, and it greets me now, "Welcome to day 1537 of you're 30 day trial" so that's what I've been using ever since. I didn't take any courses though, just looked at some other people's work for ideas, and then just played around and experimented.

Why did you start doing graphic design? What was your motivation?
Because I wanted to be able to make a website. And because I was a part of a community where a lot of young people did web and graphic design and I wanted to do it too!
