The Blog Journal

Hello Everyone, my name is Connor McCord.

Biography:

  • I was born in Edmonton, Alberta, I lived there until I was 7 when I moved to Calgary and have lived there ever since.
  • Currently I am 22 years old, but this changes every year. I was born on October 21rst, 1984
  • When I am not in school you can find me on the ski hill pretty much every weekend in the winter.
Aspirations:
  • I was originally at SAIT taking Journalism, I completed my diploma but wanted to pursue design. I looked into a couple of schools but thought Lethbridge best suited what I wanted from the program.
  • My goals are to learn as much as possible from every class and take what I have learned and turn it into educational tools I can use further down the road.
  • I would like to become a Graphic Designer of some sort in the future.
  • In this course I would like to further my education in the art of Graphic Design and hopefully get a better understanding of how to create unique and original designs.
