Well, let's see here, I'm currently 16 years old, living in Sacramento, California. Ever since I was a little kid I've been using Macs as my main computer. I was lucky enough to get a Powerbase 180 during fourth grade as my first computer.

Making the tile, I used my iMac 600 with Adobe Photoshop 7. This was actually my first time doing a community based project. Actually, this is my first 'major' project that I've done using Photoshop. I usually use Photoshop for minor jobs, so I had to play around a lot with various tools.

As far as a description of my tile, I guess you can say that it's more symbolic than artistic.

One major problem I had was just matching with the edges. I'm more logical than creative, so it was pretty hard for me to think of an idea of what to do. If you look at the tile, I put a runner (which is actually me) and a cheetah. The reason for this is because I feel that even though I'm not the fastest runner, I won't give up to overcome my own limits. As far as the edges go, I basically just drew what I saw in my mind.
