| Bio: | about this journalThis is my (![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jessterroux) graphics journal. I created this journal to share my artwork with the online community. I will be posting icons, banners, wallpapers, blends, tutorials, and more! |
resources
I exclusively use Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended (the most recent version) for all my graphics and swear by it. I use no other program. If you are not familiar with Photoshop, try it out. There is a REASON it sells for several hundred dollars!
Look in my memories for a full list of my graphics resources, including images, media, brushes, textures, gradients, and helpful tutorials. |

To easily navigate my posted graphics and tutorials, check out my memories for a comprehensive list. Also, feel free to add them to your OWN memories.
I am very open to tips, suggestions, and constructive criticism regarding my graphics/tutorials. Don't be afraid to voice your opinion, as long as it is in an objective, mature manner. |

about me
I am a junior at Penn State University majoring in English (minor in international studies and business, emphasis in publishing and creative writing). In the future, I would like to work towards a Master's, hopefully at Columbia, NYU, or the University of Iowa. I someday dream of being a published author and/or editor.
I am a big music buff. I played piano for 8 years (learned by the Suzuki method), but am sorely out of practice; I think my repertoire consists of Musetta's Waltz and a badly played version of Minuet 3. A year of playing French horn showed me that my musical talents are slim. But, I love, love, love listening to music and have a deep appreciation for all genres.
I also love books. They are my best friends. I collect them. I am also very fortunate to own an almost full set of first edition Nancy Drew books. Seriously, who needs friends when you have books?
Travel also rocks my world. I have been to much of the continental U.S., and also Scotland, England, France and Belgium. This summer I hope to make a journey to Greece.
I love playing around with Photoshop and making websites (I am self-taught!). I spend a decent amount of time graphic-making and unfortunately, I haven't had the time or motivation to get serious again about web design. Maybe someday soon, though... |
