Hello!

My name is Brittani Hammock (My Twitter is @brittaniii), and I am a senior at Texas State. I am from a small town in west Texas called Greenwood, and moved to San Marcos with my girlfriend (Tedye), my 2 cats (Penny and Tiger) and my dog (Tucker). I LOVE San Marcos because it is SO much more beautiful than the flat, brown, dusty area I am from.

For a class last semester I even wrote a blog about how much I love the area around here. Now that I am surrounded by all this greenery, rolling hills and water spots I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. I love to hike, explore and take in as much of the beauty of the Hill Country as possible.

I’ve changed my major a few times (nursing, education, psychology, advertising) and now I am majoring in Public Relations with a minor in Psychology.  I wouldn’t really say that PR is my passion, I basically chose this major because I felt like I could really do anything with it. Everyone needs an employee who can communicate properly, right? My dream job would be doing something that involves my creative side, which is the main reason I am taking this class. I know that website design will look great on my resume, and hopefully if I get good enough at it then I can incorporate my creativity into my website designs.

I’ve taken 2 classes that gave me some basics on web design last semester (Fundementals of Online Media, and CS1308) and I really enjoyed them. I was especially glad that I had those 2 classes under my belt on the first day of our Media Design class, it helped out a lot. I’m hoping by the end of this class I will be able to code without having to have a template to look at, work WordPress flawlessly, have a better understanding of Photoshop, and become faster at editing videos. I’m really excited about all this class has to offer and plan to take advantage of all our learning opportunities. I hope everyone has a great semester!
