Thanks Ladd. Never really thought I would get into it for other than editing photos, but I really enjoy just experimenting. I am borderline obsessed with Photoshop I think. As you charter members are in a graphics related field, what avenues of study would you recommend for a guy interested in graphic design? I am eligble for retirement from the Army in 7 years, so I think I may want a career change into something graphics related..although it seems a VERY competitive market.

Whatever you do, stay away from architecture! It really sucks. I would look into the obvious stuff like graphic design or web design. Cant think of anything else right now, maybe Grutz has some suggestions?

Sometimes we are allowed to get creative, but its not common. This is especially true in our firm, which primarily does government work. Most of our creativeness is used when we put together things like presentations, brochures or web sites. But thats rare. We also do some computer generated 3D renderings and models, but we now have a useless 3D guy in our office (numero uno smacktard). Oh, and we also do the annual sand castle and halloween facade contests with the UH School of Architecture.

Ouch... architecture work for the Government?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........
I can see why you would steer somebody away from that type of designing... lol
Maybe custom home design would help satisfy that thirst for creativity... too bad you cannot moonlight on the side. ;D

It's too bad you weren't architects for the Nazi Party. That's one government that definitely had bold, creative taste - albeit a little on the Goth side. Didn't Hitler commission the Bauhaus School to design all their architecture?

Heres an early beta home page design, also found in 69er members and recruits (for those authorized access)
