Why I'm taking Ad Design

I'm taking this class to improve the design skills that I use in my own current freelance work while I wait to transfer to art school in the Fall.  I'm excited to learn how to design advertisements, I love to look at what styles are becoming popular in ads.  I particularly love ads that have very simple and clean compositions, which I see being used more and more nowadays. I think I would enjoy designing ads as a career someday. Learning about what makes a good ad will also help me in my art: I'm always looking for ways to express my ideas that are interesting, appealing and accessible.  Learning how to create successful ads will help me learn how to catch my viewer's attention and interest.
