For me, graphic design started when I first discovered computers. This happened a “long” time ago, when I was in high school. Up until that moment I did what a lot of kids do – collected toy cars and airplanes, played with LEGO kits and read A LOT… probably because my mother was a literature teacher. I think my childhood activities influenced me as a graphic designer because they allowed me to learn how small pieces can fit together to create something bigger.

When I look back at the first designs I created I smile to myself because I see a lot of mistakes – a lot of “never do this” kind of designs. But each mistake was a lesson learned – a step forward toward better results. In my first projects I was both the client and the “artist”. This situation was good in many ways as it allowed me to make a lot of samples and try different approaches to get the final result.

Sometimes I consider myself lucky that I started learning design when computers had limited processing power… graphic editors were simple and you had to do a lot of tasks “by hand”. This makes you study many things that are not directly related to graphic design, but makes you more complete as a professional designer in the end.

Recently I have created a webpage called www.99celebrities.com - a place where fans can share their fan photos:) Bogdan Chis (talk) 17:46, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
