                My name is Taylor Irby, I am from Detroit, Michigan. The reason why I chose to attend Columbia College Chicago is because I heard that it was one of the best colleges amongst other colleges that had a major in graphic design. I have always had an interest in designing different things. I think when I first realized that I wanted to pursue a career in graphic design was in high school, when many of my assignments were to take pictures of random things in Detroit. Throughout high school I attended vocational schools were I studied more about graphic design. Some of our assignments were to go to the Hindenburg Project and take pictures there. One of the pictures that I took there was later displayed at the Detroit International Academy along another picture that I took there.

My personality type: most of the time I’m quiet until I get used to my surroundings and familiarize myself with everything. The only thing that I can think of about myself that I don’t like is how I’m not willing to join into a group conversation unless I’m asked too.

                In my opinion there are many different things that are important about this school. One of them being that the class sizes are not so big were the teacher can’t help every student and have that one-on-one time, I think the other important thing is that this school cares about their students safety and created this “buddy system” and also that way it’s a chance that you won’t be alone or not have anyone to converse with in this school.

                 In my future I plan to become a graphic designer and create different designs for whoever needs them, I want to if not own my own company I want to work for people that’s well know. I would also love to design billboards and covers of books.
