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.
