Who Is Erica?

I am a Graphic Design student in my second year. I have worked at Woolworths for five years and have had three years experience in Retail Operations.

I am interested in illustration (hand-drawn or computer generated), advertising (such as business card and poster design) and also textiles (such as making clothing, keyrings and pencil cases). I also intend to get my Diploma Certificate for Graphic Design.

It is full of detailed tutorials, digital artworks from around the world, tips on using graphic tools, reviews, pull-outs and much, much more. I like this magazine in particular as it is one of the more inspiring magazines about digital design available and is quite inexpensive. It has given me alot of assistance in the past with digital design techniques.
