Welcome to my little LJ account.
My name is Alex, I am 21 about to be 22, next week actually aaaahhhh. Right, any who, I am a freelance graphic designer and web designer. I've had experience in both for the last 7 ish years now ... I know Photoshop CS, Photoshop Illustrator (some what), InDesign, Quark Xpress, Dreamweaver (though it's been awhile 'cause I used the school's Dreamweaver, sadly I don't have it on my own computer yet but will someday! I use TACO HTML for Macs) and I know HTML, some CSS and PHP and I know how to use FTP as well as phpBB forums, SMF Forums, Proboards forums, changing style sheets, and I know how to set up Coppermine Gallery as well as CuteNews.
I am also a photographer for the family business, "About Memories Photography". We've done four weddings now, family photo shoots (3 I believe), horse events, pets and people events, you name it we take pictures of it. If you are in need of a graphic/web designer let me know.

I am hoping to get a official domain soon with my site so that I can accept PayPal there, which I could accept it via the sites above, but I need to have my PayPal activated again.
As of now I am accepting money via DeviantArt.com -
http://always-designs.deviantart.com My old DA account is also still up -
http://simply-dreams.deviantart.com but the always-designs one is the one I will be accepting DA money.

These are prices that will be in place once my PayPal is set, or if you are able to pay via DeviantArt money then that is acceptable as well.
I will inform everyone when my PayPal is set up.
I do free work but only if the customer will link back to my LJ account or my sites above for crediting purposes and will not remove any tags I put on my designs.
If you have images of your own that you would like me to use for designs, feel free to e-mail them to me, or if they are not your own images, please make sure you have permission from the original owners before hand so that I am not 'stealing' someone else's images.
I use Photoshop CS, Photoshop Elements 3.0, Painter Essentials 3.0, Digital Wacom Tablet pen/mouse, and Taco HTML.
For photography, I use Nikon D-50, D-70 and a D-200.

Alex
