Making appealing graphics is a satisfying hobby for me...

To me, the design of functional graphics is almost a sort of problem solving situation similar to programming or network design. Making a good icon, flyer, logo, etc. is all about looking good no matter where it is, and then number of factors that go into it means you need to be creative! This is creativity mixed with practical logic similar to my other hobbies. With a design, you need to make sure it looks good big and little, grayscale and color, blurry, at a glance, etc. 

That's why graphic design is so interesting to me. My true love will always be tech, but as creative hobbies go, this is one of my favorites. Unlike other hobbies, it's so extremely useful. I've done graphics for small organizations, the RSO I'm in (Bulldog Computer Professionals), and my own personal brand. I think having the ability to make something that is truly eye catching is truly underrated. This is especially so considering the fact there are so many simplified options out there that are fine, but obnoxiously bland, a sort of modern clip art. Taking things into my own hands is just so satisfying, and hopefully satisfying for the people who have to look at it.
