Brandon Benney About Brandon...

I’ve always been creative in many ways, I just didn’t know it would eventually become graphic design. I have always enjoyed technology and had a passion for it and the new age but never really had the opportunity for designing on a computer. Being in a small town, there is only one class for creativity, which is art. I’ve always loved art class and painting but never thought of art as being a possible future for me. I may not be creating paintings, but designing to me, is a version of art but better than it.

I am from the small town of Parker, South Dakota. It has a population of 1,000 so I was able to do some of the things that others from a larger town weren’t, like being able to be in the brandonbenney.org

Future Farmers of America and play basketball. I mainly found my enjoyment in video games, which created so many friendships and memories for me. Playing video games has made me always want to complete the task ahead of me, and never give up. I have always been very vocal and a great communicator and communication is needed in any workforce these days. I have team working skills, time management, and problem-solving skills. With designing, I’m able to create almost anything in so many different ways and that’s the reason I have chosen to be a graphic designer. With designing, there are so many softwares and ideas that are available to a designer.

My art teacher had a class my sophomore year in high school called Media Art, it was pretty much a form of graphic design and I really found creativity that I never had before. From then on, I was looking for anything graphic design/digital media for my future. That’s when I found the design program at Southeast Technical College and knew it was the best for my future.
