First off, we'd like to know more about you. Can you tell us a little something about yourself? What influenced you to choose graphic arts as your career path?
My name is Kevin Roodhorst. I'm a 20-year-old graphic designer/digital artist from The Netherlands. I started to work with the Adobe software when I was 15 years old. What I did most of the time was follow tutorials on the internet and read design books. At the age of 17, I started to work as a freelancer. Flyers, posters, covers and banners were the things I made the most. In my spare time I make personal projects and search for more inspiration. Another hobby of mine is photography. I like to make photos of textures and other elements that I think I can use for my projects.
I am currently studying graphic design in Amsterdam. When I finish school, I would like to work for an advertising agency. My work is published in 8 design magazines in countries such as: The Netherlands, England, France, Germany and Russia. My work is also featured on a lot of design websites/blogs. I also have my own online store where you can buy my work in different poster sizes.
What influenced me to choose graphic arts as my career path? I always had a thing with digital art images and other computer generated images. I thought I wish I could create such wonderful images. And I'm practicing ever since.
