Hi! I’m Antonia and I am studying graphic design and illustration in the IDEA program at Capilano University. I am hoping to enter into a career in the creative industry. However, I am excited to learn in my four years at Capilano University and see where in that industry I fit in. I love writing and English, and probably would have gone into that field had I not gone to art school. In high school I ran an independent zine, combining my interest in art and design with my interest in writing. I would interview local artists (usually musicians), publish the interviews in the zine and have different illustrators do the cover for each volume. This not only allowed me to improve my writing and illustration skills, but it introduced me to a local scene of creatives which broadened my outlook on the artistic industry as a whole. My hope is that I will eventually end up in a career which will merge my interests in music and graphic design.
