Nicholas Russell’s Education
-
Platt College
Graphic Design 2000 — 2002
Platt college was a personal journey into the world of graphic design. I wanted to build my education as a designer as well as industry standards from a marketing and advertising perspective. I felt that as a programmer we tend to lack the design abilities and understanding of professional, well thought out design schematics and believed having this understanding would greatly improve my overall skills as a web developer.
