It ' s about time the CBC gets the axe . They ' re just a propaganda outlet . We don ' t need it . <| sep |> Lot ' s of hard work . I got in the game early about 1992 so photoshop was kinda new and the colleges teaching it had no idea what they were doing . So I dropped out and taught myself . Read books mainly and made up fake companies , designed logos and flyers for them and built my first portfolio that way . Got my first graphic design job at FastSigns then moved on to web design when that came out . Over the years I just worked my ass off and landed a few great jobs . Now I am an Art Director at a design firm , designing for one of the largest chain restaurants in the USA . On the side I freelance designing for mainly for music related things like festival branding , band shirts and design work for bands including 2 of the largest punk bands ever . Now , this hard work includes being very frustrated at first because in the beginning you suck at design but you think you kick ass . But when you work at it hard enough you find your groove one day and realize you learned enough and worked hard enough that you no longer suck . And that ' s when shit gets fun !
