Debbie Steffen I would like to take this time to introduce myself andto tell you about my plans in life. I have always liked art and have won a number of art awards. This is why I decided to go into the Graphic Arts industry. I would like to direct my talent toward the design and layout aspect of the field. I would also like to try my hand at the artistic possibili- ties in the communication media of television. Being on campus has given me the opportunity to assist students in other courses such as Radio and Television Broadcasting and Theatre Arts. I have also been involved in outside jobs which have given me the experience in design and working with people. Besides my great interest in art, I also like to travel, play tennis, music, photography, movies, television and meet- ing new and interesting peo- ple. The two years that I havei been on campus, have,: increased my interest t-o learn a great deal of the busi- ness. It is really too bad that the year ended so quickiyi b have enjoyed myself andH; will really miss all the friends that I have made, .in the twa years. GoOj -igdpQc teiclQ] everyone. qA to 9Q«iloO

ft I ' ve always had an interest in the fine arts but the visual representation of art always appealed to me most. In the printed media there are unending possibilities in designing and creating new ways to present the printed page and that ' s where I ' ll come in. In my spare time I experi- ment with different art medi- ums but lean towards pencil, ink, pastel and watercolor. I still plan to expand my knowl- edge of art with some formal training as I ' m sure it would benefit my career-but that ' s not in the immediate future. Some of my other interests are reading, skating, danc- ing, music and photography. When I first started college. Graphic Arts was new and unfamiliar to me but now I know it ' s the field I want to be involved in. Majoring in pho- tography and art has shown me the creative aspects and I hope someday to be employed in a publishing house or an ad agency as a layout design artist. The last two years have been a great learning and liv- ing experience for me-and I hope for my fellow class- mates too--good luck everyone!!! Cindy Perry

During my years at E. L. Crossley Secondary School in Fonthill, I was enrolled in the Arts and Sciences Pro- gram and focused mainly on Art and Architectural Draft- ing. I was encouraged to look into the possibility of seeking a career in the Graphic Arts Industry. After high school, I enrolled in the Graphic Design Program at Sheridan College of Applied Arts Technology in Oakville. While there, I became very inter- ested in layout and design and decided to make it my career. With two years of design from Sheridan I real- ized that I wanted to be knowledgeable in what hap- pened to my designs between artwork and the printed piece. It was then that I decided to enroll in the Gra- phic Arts Program at Niagara College of Applied Arts Technology with hopes that they would help me to make my career a success. Upon graduation, I hope to find employment in a design studio and I plan to someday have my own studio. Lynn Terescsik
