Hi class, my name is Mr. SIC ILL aka Mr. Jackson
I will be your graphic design instructor. Before I begin the lesson I
want to tell you how enthusiatic I am about graphic design and show
you a few examples of some works.
I started doing graphics on mspaint. I learned basic cut and paste,
but thats about advanced as it got.
I didn't get interested into actual graphic design until I started
doing music professionally and needed an album cover. I was working at
Taco Bell on 6th ave and I eventually saved up enough to get my album
cover and cd cover by a professional artist. I went to a local graphic
artist name 3rd Eye Dezine, he made my first graphic work.
SIC ILL - 3RD EYE DEZINE
He's pretty good and I was really impressed by the work he did. I
always drew and knew about computers so I thought it would be a nice
transition.
A little bit after that I started a local rap group called Darxiide.
We had a studio but all we had were the mp3s.. We still needed
graphics for covers, youtube, myspace. I volunteered to handle the
graphics. That started me on my graphic design journey 5 years ago nd
I haven't stopped since. The group eventually broke-up, but I still
had those skills and it would lnd me all sorts of jobs, and helped me
start my web design career, my book career, I use graphic design on my
videography. Alot of graphic design skills you need for photography.
But my main reason for graphic design is for flyers creation. I make
atleast 4,5 designs a month on flyers and album covers.
Because of my experience in graphic design It made me create better
videos nd give me an edge on competition and I eventually started
working for Cash Money Records & Bad Boy Entertainment and met bunch
of famous people just because I started my graphic design journey and
I'm not special, It was just preparation meeting opportunity.
Besides my own work, I like to study other peoples graphic
design, from cereal boxes, to shirts, to buildings, to websites, you
can pretty much see good examples of graphic design all over the
place.
