Thought I'd pop along and say hey.
I'm Vicky (or Vix to my friends ) and help run an animal rescue forum called Animal Lifeline UK where I saw the link to this site.
I trained as an architect but kinda drifted into graphic design. I don't really have time to play with graphics as much as I'd like though. Most of the things I do at the moment are for my business and animal rescues and the forum I designed, including the logos, etc. which you can see here: www.forum.animallifelineuk.org
I'm a bit of a computer geek and run a couple of servers in my office for my web design work, and I also run most of my machines on various distributions of Linux (Debian on my laptop and Ubuntu on my desktop). I do use CS4, run via Wine on my main PC, but on the others I use open source software so can make some good recommendations for anyone wanting to do some decent design work on totally free software.
Anyway, that's me. I'll have to start by getting off my butt and actually making a signature now!
