Design Boom

I registered with Design Boom about a week ago. I learned about it as I was "googling" some advertising sites. I signed up and asked to be sent current updates to my email account. I have the choice of either looking at it or not once its in my inbox. I would like to learn how to create that same feature for my blog. It would be nice for people to automatically have the option to check out what I'm posting from their everyday email account.

What inspired me to start a blog?

I went to class on Tuesday 09/01/09 with the awareness that I would be taking a web design class called Digital Innovation. I was predicting a precursor to my Flash 1 class, with the expectation of creating something really different then what I've seen on the web already. When I received the syllabus, I became informed that I will be starting a blog. A blog about anything and everything related to design and specifically design on the web. Most importantly this is going to be a blog derived from inspiration. I've always wanted to start a blog about design but never found the time. This is going to be a perfect class for me. It must be said that I've been working on computers since the 2nd grade in 1990. Computer technology has advanced far beyond what I could have imagined at that time. I began Design school in 2005. This is my final year at Otis College of Art and Design, as I took a year off to contemplate life. I've been studying Graphic Design with emphasis on getting a degree in Advertising. Advertising is apart of our world and influences our culture in so many ways. Advertising has made it's way into the World Wide Web and I believe for the better. It will waste less paper, and hopefully give people an opportunity to see something new and engage with a brand in an eye opening way. I will post lots of information here about design on the web and as I learn about advertising on the web, samples of what I find and create will be listed also. This blog will transform over the next 3 months. I hope you will learn about what inspires me and maybe be inspired too.
