Thinkative Media

I took a risk and gained a lot of insight and knowledge from the experience. I created two logos featuring two completely different styles in the past two months. The plan has always been to start my own web design or development business at some stage and I began this journey almost 9 years ago. I've always shown an interest in art and enrolled at Tuks to study Information Design, otherwise known as Graphic Design. Not quite what I expected it to be as I wanted to do more computer graphics and so I decided to change my degree. Multimedia was the perfect mesh of the technology and artistic creativity. However, I'm still not sure whether it imposes boundaries or limits on what one can do or allows one to reach a creativity level that is almost infinite. I'm hoping to find that out as time goes by and I look forward to each challenge with a renewed sense of self, enthusiasm, and a passion for art I have repressed for a very long time. Since switching to Multimedia I have changed my degree yet again a few years ago and I'm planning to finish my Information Science degree in the coming years, but I will continue to follow my dream.

I found an interesting quote on the web the other day when I was wallowing in self pity: Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it. My journey starts now. The year 2010 is the time for a new beginning, it marks the birth of Thinkative Media.
