Marina's Bio

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my blog! My name is Marina and I am a 21 year old senior student at the University of Illinois. Although I am a senior, I have one more year of school left to complete, and I am determined to make these last two years the best years yet!

The reason I have an extended date of graduation is because I am a transfer student. I transferred to Illinois in the Fall of 2006 after attending the University of Missouri-Columbia as a Broadcast Journalism major for one year. Although I miss Mizzou, I could not be happier as an Illinois student. I transferred into the College of Fine and Applied Arts, and after taking one year of art foundation classes, I chose to major in graphic design. Design is the most challenging and satisfying field, and it is always changing, so it is always exciting.

Between my classes, a job and an internship, I my plate is full. I hope to share more with you about my experiences in graphic design and as an Illinois student. Without further delay, for everything you wanted to know and did not know how to find out, read on.
