Hi.
My name is Jon Shiroma and I am a graphic designer, though some of you may know me as elevated antelope. I have very eclectic taste in music, art, and life in general for I really feel that life is too short to afford a closed mind.
I am a gearhead at heart, and will be til the day I die. From this love of all things petrol powered, I have learned skills like basic electrical engineering, as well as other lessons that translated to other parts of my life: how to be very organized, and how to tackle a seemingly impossible task.
SOME DETAILS
Tools
I use Adobe's Creative Suite when I create. That includes Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, AfterEffects, Premier, and Dreamweaver. And, for the record, I don't use design view. Ever. I also use a Wacom Intous tablet and am quite fond of mechanical keyboards. I am comfortable operating on Windows boxes as well as OS X boxes as well. I can also work in Linux and love Ubuntu.
Non-work
When I'm not working, I'm doing something with cars. Either hanging out with one of the car clubs/forums I helped start, or working on my e30. I love creating, and working with my hands. Wrenching away for hours is a bit like therapy for me. Helps me reach my inner-zen, if you will. I also enjoy photogrpahy, but need to get out and shoot a lot more...
