Kirill Mikhaylov’s Summary

1989, I got my first computer or better to say, my dad got it. The rest is a history you can write in paper and if you start putting down on the ground it'll probably get farther than your neighbor's house. Which is kind of cool exercise... but anyways.

Since then, first thing I did start learning programming, and more programming, and a little bit more, and then I've got sick of it. Welcome to 1995, the year in my believe of the Internet Boom. Ebay, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Altavista, etc. and etc. During that time I've decided to devote myself to web development which included, more programming by the time I was sick of it, and graphic design.

Introducing Photoshop 2.0. Yep! My first Photoshop. Oh, Sweet Old limited days! )

I've started learning concepts of design, space, colors, and marketing. Can't sell a product if no one needs it right?! This concept of all the things got me in the right away of developing high end web applications (server based warez and web sites).

2005, "Ooo gosh! I can do 3D?!" Hey Expression College, thanks for teaching me or giving me an opportunity to explore the world of 3D. I've got covered all the parts of 3D Generalist and graduated in 2008 January with a B.A.S. in "Animation and Visual Effects."
