How Old Were You When You Started?

How old were you when you started dabbling in graphic design?

I think I was probably like 13.

I was probablt about 23-24. A late starter I'd say!

Of course, I'm still dabbling while you're an expert. Big Grin

That's not what my Art & Design teacher use to say haha, but thanks, I wouldn't call myself an expert - I've never been all that creative - but I'm getting there.....hopefully!

I started playing around in Paint and some other program I had with something similar to Paint on it when I was 6. Then got an Epson printer when I was maybe 16 or 17 and worked with a program called Photo Impression 5 (I think that's what it was called - pretty basic program). Then I got Photoshop CS2 when I was 18 and now I am working with CS3. I have always been interested in art and computers.

I was about 4, closing in on 5 when I first got started with Kid Pix (really miss the old 16 color version as opposed to the new one with all the canned animations). I got Paintshop Pro 7 somewhere in my early teens and at the tender age of 21; I finally got Photoshop CS3. In my opinion, you're never too old or too young to get started on art and design programs!
