Why Design?

Hey Guys,
My name is Eric, and I am a graphic designer and serial entrepreneur

My Current Project Is 1Million Designers that has the mission to Create an Eco-system of One Million Designers Who Will Change The World.

Today, I thought to give a little back story of mine and how I started this Journey,
When I was seven it was not my goal to became a graphic designer or tech junkie; my first big goal was to become a Motivational Public Speaker.

I built my first website when I was 8, by using Vistaprint website builder and I thought that the highest level of design it was MS Paint.

I needed to make my design to my motivational quotes, sites, and events and then I found online image editors like Canva, Pic Monkey.

So I began working with those programs until one day in 2015 in December when I saw a commercial for Adobe Creative Cloud and I was mesmerized, so I begged my parents to buy me Adobe Creative Could for Christmas and then during my holiday I bin watched all the Adobe tutorials I found.
And I created my first logo with Adobe

(First Logo Made In Adobe Photoshop CC 2015)Yep this was my first logo for my parents business, and then I just spent days, months working with this program until I found Adobe Illustrator and I load it up onto my desktop

(already installed the whole Adobe suite on it), but I did not like it, so I went back to my good old photoshop.

Until, one day when I was sitting in the lobby, and there was a guy using Adobe Illustrator, and I peeked at his screen and saw the master piece he was creating I went home and started learning Adobe Illustrator, and by 2016 December I was using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

I began working Adobe Illustrator, studied and created from animations to book covers, logos, banners for our company and many friends and customers and so I became an expert by now.
I fell in love and understand how designed had changed to the world a long history, and how it will impact it in the future.
Here my latest creation!

This is my Design Journey, and this is also why I created 1Million Designers a platform to help newbie designers GROW!!! and a platform experienced designers to teach, collaborate and share!!!

You get the rush of seeing your work being looked at by thousands.
This is why I think design is part of the future.

You can start design no matter if you can draw or not, no matter how creative you are.
You can tap in just for fun, for build a career or make your brand or others.
By giving a go to study design, is an education in arts, colors, creativity, and history of arts and in creating futuristic brands, it is the new way to learn about drawing and all other creative activities that are studied currently in schools.
