Media Designer
Miami, FL, USA.
My name is Daniel Norton. I have always been interested in the world of media, and I imagined I would end up working in that Industry. I naturally just had a calling to design and this lead me into my current degree, Bachelors of Science in Digital Arts and Design, and it kind of just exploded from there on how much the word "MEDIA" encompasses; Photography, Video, Print, Web, and 3D. When it comes to my work I aim to impress and excel at everything I do just because I appreciate and understand how I got to where I am today. As you grow older you start to understand the world and why your parents made such a sacrifice. I am from Jamaica, born and raised. I moved to Florida about 8 years now and am now pursuing my dream of being a media designer.
My goal as a graphic designer is to obtain a job at a progressive design firm. I am a quick thinker who is not afraid to work hard and take on a challenge. I am proficient in the Adobe Suite, 3DS Max and conceptualizing ideas. Personally my objective in life is to leave behind a relic of my self that shows my life was worth something. Now at this point and time, I am just ready to take on a job in the industry.
I am a really happy person who can always be trusted, especially when it comes down to concept and execution.
