I thought that since I have been advertising for jobs in the forum that I should talk a little about myself and my graphic/web design.

I started out at age 11 poking around in Microsoft Paint putting text on horse pictures for people on a game call HorseLand. I was new to the site, but once I started looking around and seeing the kinds of graphics other people had, I became fascinated.

I had a dilemma though. Paint is not exactly the kind of program I needed. My dad installed Adobe Photoshop CS2 onto our computer and I got to work right away. I was overwhelmed by the size of the program but was so excited that I just kept plodding through it. Pretty soon I was making some pretty simple images.

Over the past 4 years (I am fifteen now) my graphics have become very popular on HorseLand and I became the designer that I always had looked up to on the games. My parents allowed me to spend hours on the computer because they knew that I was really serious about this stuff and that it could be my future career.

Every designer needs a website and so with the permission of my parents, I bought myself a domain name and got to work. CONFUSSING! I had no idea where to begin! Designing and coding the site was no problem from my HorseLand days were I created countless layouts and graphics, but figuring out FTP addresses and actually uploaded the content was a bitch. I got through it though and my website can be viewed here [link]

Not bad for my first time eh?

To date, I have only made 2 other sites. One was for my jumping stable [link] in which I happily received a hefty sum of $200. The second is still a work in progress but can be viewed here: [link]

I know I am only 15, but if you are looking for a web designer please give me a chance. My prices are very reasonable seeing as I am looking for experience. My skills in photoshop make for a unique and eye catching design while my skills in HTML ensure that your site is user friendly.

If you would like to talk to me about a project, please email me at hneuen@beecreek.net.

Here is a song/poem that I wrote. I still need to add some parts, but I can't think of anything else to put... So in case you don't get it is about this girl and one day she is with this guy and they are like... really in love. By the next day he has died and she feels lonely. The last part where is says "...standin there, preacher preaches loud into the air" is when she is at his funeral. When the preacher says "He can take them back" he is refering to God. Hope that explains it some

One day you're sittin there
You feel just like you can float on air

He holds you close
Whispers your name
Your heart beats fast
And you feel no shame

Tomorrow is another day
Don't let it go to waste
You never know when time'll run out
And the only one you care about
Is gone

Next day you're sittin there
Only you in that lonely chair

He was so young
But so are you
It isn't fair
What you have to go through

Tomorrow is another day
Don't let it go to waste
Live your life with no regrets
So that when yesterday is done
You won't wanna take it back

Another day you're standin there
Preacher preachers loud into the air

He says look now
There's a lesson here
He can take them back
Easy as he brought them here

Tomorrow is another day
Don't let it go to waste
You never know when time'll run out
And the only one you care about
Is gone
