Basics
So Hmmmmmm what can I say about me????? Well I am 19 yrs old (Sept. 26, 1988 - Libra) and I have been designing since about the end of 2004. I'd say I've come a long way pretty fast.
I am a sophomore Third Year Senior at UCR (University of California, Riverside) which means that if all goes as planned I will be graduating a year early. I am still debating what I will be doing during that year but whatever I decide to do, knowing that I am almost done is terrifying. For the past like 15 years I have been in school, what now?? Ummmm I don't play any sports they aren't really for me. I do, however, love to go shopping & to the movies - all the regular stuff I guess. I lived a very sheltered childhood so I am not really big on parties or anything too social but I do love watching people interact with each other at social events. I am kind of a brat I guess you could say, but hey it works for me.
I work as a tutor and I really enjoy what I do. I hope to continue working with children in my future career as a psychiatrist for children who have been vistims of crime. I am fascinated by anything considered strange or deviant especially when it comes to those are are criminally insane.
My best friends are Eileen & Erica and I love them to death. You will more than likely b hearing a ton about them in my blog and they are sure to keep you entertained! :)
That's really all I have to say about myself for now if you want to know anything else you can visit Myspace.
My Designs
My artwork was either created in Photoshop CS or CS2. My inspiration comes from boredom or a really good pic most of the time. Am I would consider my stlye to be complex simplicity. I like to choose a bold focal point and build my ideas from there. I try to use bold, eye catching color combinations and I try to blend colors that I have never seen together before. Although some of my layouts deter from this simple style what I feel are my best works follow this pattern if you will. Don't ask me to teach you how to make a layout, read the tutorials section for some guidelines though or you can always purchase a graphic by sending me an email at wubbaduckii[at]yahoo.com.
My Site
I started off designing just as confused as anyone else at Blackplanet and I am still really confused about alot of things but I am learning through tutorials and helpful people I meet along the way like my wonderful host Corey. I got tired of seeing an ugly boring page that looked like everyone elses so I just started reading about HTML and CSS and stuff at the time mainly from CyndeysCodes4U on Migente. From there I customized my page but there was still alot that I felt I wanted to do with my site so my friend Kae sent me a copy of PSP7 and I started designing on there. Eventually I got bored of BP and moved to a free site at (Tripod). Some how Corey from Addictedbitches.com came across my site and she offered to host me which was great since you don't get a whole lot of exposure from a free website. I was hosted under the domain http://pink-diamondz.addictedbitches.com and after about a year there, Corey offered to host my own domain which is how I ended up at http://br0ken-hearted.net - that site was redirected to this one because I didn't have time to maintain two sites. As far are Urban Barbie, a good friend Nylia found me through Br0ken Hearted and offered to buy me this domain.
