Graphic Design Agency

As the end of the year closes in, I began to think about the impression some of my classes have left me. Being my second to last semester at Buffalo State College in the Communications Department I was really able to look back at a majority of my major classes and tell which ones really peaked my interest. As well as my media performance class, my graphic design class really left an impression on me and got me thinking about my future in graphic design.
I began by looking at ways to further educate myself on the topic of graphic design, I was able to find a lot of really good and reputable classes and programs in New York City that looked really fun and interesting. NYC is also where I am from so I am going to check out some of these places upon returning home. The next thing I started looking at was different graphic design agencies. This is were I was able to do a lot of really cool research on the different firms out there and what each one of them have to offer. One of my favorite graphic design agencies that I found when researching was a company called Object9. Object9 has been open since 2000 and have done a lot of really cool snazzy designs for companies that I really like. From Red Stripe Beer, to a new lemon lime soda called "Bubble Up." Object9 seems to really like to take on new ideas and new companies and create a design or advertisement for them that will put them on the map. Their designs are really crisp and clean and inviting, a lot of them give the feeling of a hot summer day outside.
I hope that after leaving Buffalo State College I will be able to further my education and possibly even career in this field. I am going to follow up on some of the agencies that I researched as well and see if they have entry level positions for people starting out in the field.
