My interview is tommorow. This is my (slightly longer than 250 words) admissions essay. Wish me luck please!

I have always loved visual culture.
I just don’t think I realized that there was a discipline that spanned it all.
Then one day I stumbled upon the world of graphic design and illustration.
This is a world that I am now immersing myself in, and becoming completely fascinated with.
I am obsessed with: graphic novels, illustrated blogs (I happen to have one), vectors, comic strips, Blythe dolls, small press publications, DIY, creative graphic design, typography, library pop, bright colours, female auteurs, repurposed art supplies, and the new wave of illustrative art movements like Japanese Super Flat, and SoCal Lowbrow (not to mention all the wonderful stuff that’s going on right here, right now, in this very city).
I want to write and illustrate my own graphic novel, and children’s books. I want to animate. I want to design my own toys. I want to do illustrations for forward thinking magazines and other publications. I want to have shows in galleries. I want people to wear clothing with my drawings on them. I want to design concert posters and album covers, and packaging for beauty supplies and board games.
I want to come up with new ways for people to discover art and design in their everyday lives.
I love working in many mediums, digital and traditional. Mostly though, I like to fill black lines in with bright colour (maybe it’s a throwback to my colouring book days). I love the exciting versatility of vectors. I worked as the illustrator of a student newspaper (The Brock Press) for a year, and when you don’t know what size your finished illustration is going to be printed at vectors are an absolute godsend (not to mention how crisply and cleanly they print out).
I want to accomplish so many things.
I want to create a whole world in my own style.
I want to satiate my desire for more knowledge and inspiration.
I even want to go to work and learn, everyday inside that amazing, frightening sculpture floating in the sky.
I want to go to OCAD for Illustration, and no place else.
