Senior Mollie Baker is pictured with her artwork.I used to be afraid of a white piece of paper, but now I am no longer intimidated but rather overwhelmed with ideas of how I am going to fill the page up. I love to submerge myself in ideas, almost like an escape from reality. Whether using a computer or working with a variety of materials from clay to photography, I am attached to the freedom that art provides.

An example of Mollie Baker's artwork.My heart, my soul, my passion are in graphic design. I am intrigued with drawing and creating new, abstract letterforms and it is addicting because I don't stop until the last t is crossed and the last i is dotted. My favorite tool to use is the mouse and working to manipulate text. I don't stick to conventional styles, I like to break out and try new things. I take inspiration from just about anywhere from a book, to a label on a drink, a t-shirt, just about anything I lay my eyes on. I even use unconventional techniques such as a collage combination of letters and numbers, or actually hand drawing fonts in conjunction with pre-existing typefaces and scan the image in. I like to use unique fonts to challenge the ordinary. I like to manipulate images in Photoshop whether it be a design is all about what you say and how you say it, although it is not as easy as it sounds but the process is what makes design so engaging.
