Journal #00

Hi, my name is Shawna Spettnagel I am from Glendale, Arizona. My major is visual communication with an emphasis in graphic design, and that is why I am taking this class, it is a requirement.

A little bit more about me…I graduated from Mountain Ridge High School in 2006 and received an associate’s degree in business from the University of Phoenix last November. As I stated before I am working towards a BFA in Visual Communication with an emphasis in graphic design and a minor in merchandising. I currently work part time in the Walgreens’ cosmetics department; although before I moved to Flagstaff I was head photo specialist in the Walgreens’ photo lab. While I have never had a paying job associated with art of any kind let alone graphic design, I do consider myself a multi media artist and was a member of a small art gallery in the Willo Historic District of downtown Phoenix. I had one show there that consisted of myself and two other artists, and was written about in the Phoenix New Times. This is only the second class I have had in college that I actually get to attempt artistic endeavors and I am looking forward to it, especially since I enjoyed VC 251 that was also taught by Kimberly Melhus.
