Hi TTG< I've been around since September, but just lurked until now. I really like the site, and want to contribute as much as possible. If you really want you can all call me Alex if you even remember me ;)
here is a little about me:
I am a 17 year old graphic designer from the US. I have been working with photoshop, and other adobe products and even Cinema 4D for about 4 years now, and dabble in other editing softwares. I have earned college credits for it even. PM me for my portfolio if that interested.

My interests:
Graphic design - I love designing things, the endless possibilities make me so happy, and I like making others happy through my work.
Coding - I first dabbled in coding when I learned how to edit Call of Duty Modded patches, yes thats right. it was all in C++ or even just some in .net. Now I know a little java. I do not consider CSS or HTML to be coding for apps and such, so I do know them, but I don't count them.

Gaming - HUGE part of my life, been gaming since a young age, I got my first gameboy color when I was 6 and then I started gaming gaming gaming. I play all consoles that I own, Everyday. (xbox 360, PC, iOS, Android) (add my GT: eStars Razor) (add my steam: Rias Gremory-san)

Music - Music saved my life, at one point in time I was very suicidal and evil I would say. I would break into houses to escape my own, and I was arrested for drinking many times. I tried to stray from this and finally got away when I discovered metalcore and heavy metal, not many like it, but to me it is godly music. It releases my anger, and even makes me happy. Its not about the noise, its about the message, thats why I love it. As Chris Motionless would say " Open your mind before your mouth".
