Hi! Since this is my first blog here, I guess I should take a few moments to introduce myself. I’m Amanda, a graphic design student and alum as of May 8th this year. Atlantis Design is the name I have chosen for my personal work. It stems from Atlantis Blakes which was my pen name for quite a while– I still use it all across the web today.
I do mostly print design, but eventually I want to learn some programming and flash (I’ve dabbled in both html and flash, but not enough, I’m afraid). I’ve been writing since I was about 12 years old and I love it. I like to write both fiction and nonfiction and have done copywriting in my time at school. I’m “religious” but I’m not a “religious nut”. I like philosophy and thinking and I generally find myself agreeing with (and quoting) Soren Kierkegaard.
I’m a generally happy type of person and I’m usually looking on the bright side of things. A few of my favorite things are: cheese, penguins, Switchfoot, songs about beaches and California, songs about snow and Boston, Austin TX, hippie messenger bags and totes, trees and taking pictures of trees, looking at the sky and how big it is, the pen tool on Illustrator, digital drawing tablets, and Guernica by Picasso.
I like to talk to people a lot, so feel free to drop me a line! 
Penguins,
Amanda
