A Little About Me

My name is Hilary and I’m a freshman here at University at Buffalo. I’m an intended Communication student and am interested in either pursuing a career in Web Design or Advertising. I am also looking to minor in Photography.

I want to pursue a career in Web design or Advertising because these careers allow you to be very creative. Something that I feel I am good at. I found out that I liked Web Design after I took an introductory class in high school. I liked Web Design because I am able to be creative, I would get to do a little writing, I would be able to take pictures, and I would get to work with computers. A career in Web Design would allow me to incorporate all of these interests into one career. I am interested in Advertising because I would love to see some of my creative ideas become reality. With Advertising I feel that I will be able to be a business woman while still being able to be creative and still have fun. At this time though, I am leaning more towards being in the Web Design field. I think that it would be a better fit for me in the long run.

I am also very interested in Photography. I am primarily a digital Photographer, but I also enjoy doing some film Photography. My favorite thing to shoot is nature, though I have tried Portraits and abstract Photography. I would major in Photography, but I’ve see that a person needs to have very good pictures to be able to make enough money to survive just from a career in Photography alone. This is why I would love to minor in Photography. This way I can make the money I need to live with a job in Web Design or as an Advertiser, but would also I would have the option of running a Photography business in the side.

Here are some of the Photographs that I have taken......

I have many hopes and expectations for this Introduction to the Internet class. One hope is that I am able to get a good grade. I always shoot for an A, but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way. That is why I hope to at least get a decent grade in this class. My other hopes for this class is to just have fun, and really learn about the internet as a tool for communication. At the end of this class I hope to further my knowledge on the Internet as a tool for communication.
