who am i?

Hello!

I'm Ariana Brogan, I'm 21 years old and technically a Senior at Champlain College. I guess I could be considered a Junior and a half because I switched majors to Graphic Design about 2 years ago and couldn't be happier with my decision. I love every aspect of graphic design and it has opened my eyes to a wider array of fine and modern arts in general. I now have a deep appreciation for these aspects of the design world and try to completely surround myself with them. Lynda.com is a website I spend a lot of time on to expand my skills in adobe products.

Above is a great clip from the intro for the film "Thank you for smoking", for any of you Graphic Designers out there I think you'll appreciate that amazing use of typography in this film.


Above is a picture of my sister and I with my parents. We're from Souther PA so I rarely get to see my patents, however my sister Celina is a Sophomore this year at UVM so we get to see each other regularly.

Other than design and my family, my interests are snowboarding, traveling, hiking, cliff jumping. I drink way too much coffee, and I work at Vermont Sports Grill as a waitress. I also probably spend a little too much time watching Netflix. I love to travel, I've been lucky to have visited a few amazing places around the world like Cannes, Monaco, Nice, and Paris France, Jamaica, and Athens, but below is a photo of my favorite place in the world (Sounion Greece view of the Temple of Poseidon).


(Photo by me; Sounion Greece)


Up until this past summer, my family owned a small villa on Cape Sounion, Greece near the Temple for over 2oo years, however due to the current situation in Greece, my aunt and uncle who still live there, along with my mom and her sisters decided it was time to sell it. I took this photo last summer from our patio at the house.
