About Me

My name is Steven Chin and I am graduating with a BA degree in Visual Communications from San Francisco State University. I love graphic novels from the story being narrated to the amazing visual artworks by the artist.

My influences are my parents, who have help me in my interest in art. They took me to art museums and enroll me in art lessons. Their help and guidance shows how much my parents love me to support what I'm interest in.

Another influence is Takashi Murakami, a contemporary Japanese artist, who works in fine arts media and digital media. His work incorporates pop culture themes from Japanese animation and graphic novels. His work eventually become his own style called Superflat, a graphic images and color derived from anime and manga. His w
ork shows how he is able to create design artwork through his own interest in anime and manga. It goes to show to show to never give up my dreams on doing something that interest me, but to find a way to join work with something that I like.



This is an image from Jeff Smith's Graphic Novel, Bone, that mixed a lot of fantasy, comedy, and adventure from story to wonderful artwork. I like this scene from when the main character, Fone Bone, gets separate from his brothers and tries to find them. I like Jeff Smith's artwork and how he creates these wonderful landscapes in his comic and the colors he chose to make the setting look realistic even thought its in a fantasy setting. The image also seems to give me a look into the future when I'm living on my own or after college and have to know what to do or where I'll be going. I feel I have a lots of choices at my age when I'm about to graduate from college and I feel this image describes how I would feel like venturing out into the world.

After graduating, I want to find a career in the design and industry that pays well and also is fun to work at. Hopefully, I want to take classes to continue my education in the design industry and learn different kinds of design media to have more variety in my design skills.

I am creative, determine, open-mined, active, friendly, and capable.
