Harrop Designs

Where are you from?

I was born in Idaho Falls, ID and raised in Rexburg, ID.  Its a small town but, “Hey you got to start somewhere!”

What got you started?

Growing up I loved to draw and doodle which I started doing illustration when I was just a boy.  I was introduced by some friends that had done some business cards for themselves and became very interested in how graphic design played apart in the illustration world.  I found that graphic designers would actually hire illustrators and vise versa. 

I then became in love with putting type with some of my illustrations and found that learning graphic design would be very benefitcial.  So after taking classes and working project after project I found that illustration tied in with web design and basically went from there.  I’ve been doing web design ever since and had many opportunites to use my illustration skills in web design.

Did you go to college?

I have an associate’s degree with an ephasis in integreted studio art which also includes Graphic Design.  The University I attended was Brigham Young University - Idaho.

So what can you do?

My skill set includes software:

  Adobe Illustrator
  Adobe Flash + Actionscript 2.0
  Adobe Photoshop CS4
  Adobe Dreamweaver CS4
  Adobe InDesign CS4
