Randomly remembered (again) that I posted this and never checked back - thanks everyone!

Glad to see you're doing so well after all these years! I hope I helped in some small part. C:

you did and I hope you're doing well!

PS this forum makes me really nostalgic - if anyone feels like reconnecting with me outside of it or just making a new friend, feel free to pm and I can send you my insta or some other social profile

Hey y'all! It's been 7-8 years since I've been on this forum and I happened to remember it while having a conversation with someone, so I decided to check back on it!

Around 2009-2010, I was pretty active on here as grunty07. At least looking back at old threads that somehow still exist, a lot of people knew me haha. Not sure if any of you from back then are still on here, but if you are, hi!

I decided to make this post to say that this forum was my first exposure to graphic design and truly a huge stepping stone in my life. I was a lil kid back when I was on here, and I taught myself Photoshop because of this forum. I'm almost done with college now. My parents pushed me to pursue a career in science for several years, but now I've realized that one of my passions has always been graphic design. Since I left this forum, I've been designing things at school like apparel, banners, logos, Snapchat geotags, etc. Last summer I designed a ton of things for clients while interning with a startup. I started out designing things for fun, and now I've gotten the opportunity to design as a potential career.

I honestly have only this forum to credit for sparking my interest in design. To everyone here, especially if any of you were here when I was, thanks for being part of the community! Don't be afraid to cultivate your interests. Keep creating! Life can happen in the wildest ways.
