Biography ... First of all, I'm Steven Darnell Hill one of three sibilings as of now I'm 22 years young, I'm from Dallas, Texas where I've been all of my life. Raised in the ghetto streets of South Dallas where you seen some of the worst. Althrough, my family is originally from Terrell, Tx where they relocated from years before I was born. Attended all Dallas Independent School's until I reach my high school year. I relocated to a charter school (Eagle Academy Of Dallas), I attended all four years even though I repeated the 9th grade; I still managed to graduate from Eagle Academy Of Dallas in 2003. After, three whole months of rush work I still manage to pull it off. Walk away with honors such as : Student Of The Year 2002- 2003 & Class President. Was also apart of the school's most active activity "The Student Council." Even tried to become the basketball team manager, running the scoreboard and sitting on the sideline for every game. From coming up with the school colors, to becoming the second boy to every graduate from that school alone. I really enjoyed and understood the way the school helped me alot and I really enjoyed the self-paced learning and the one on one focus. From finding out that I had a "Reading Comprehesion" problem and still believed I would graduate. At times I never though within my heart that I would graduate. My graduating class in 2003 was a total of 3 people, two girls and me.So with the movtivation that I had I work very hard and stayed focus even though it was really hard. I didn't want to attend college but something said Steven go to school. So I enrolled in El Centro Community College in the fall of 2003 where I begin my study of Interactive Media Development. Interactive Media Development: was based on the internet/web design incorporated with Graphics, Digital Video, and Digital Music Production. November of 2003 I was placed in a local community newspaper (The Dallas Weekly) and became a graphic design intern for a online magazine: Literafeelya Magazine. Although I had just enrolled in college I earned my first job as a graphic design for Gotcha Photos (Darren Lucas), a local school photograher. The following year I decided that I would go into a minor of Fashion Design, by taking random classes just to get the hang of it. Fashion Design always something I wanted to do, but never really acted towards that dream. After designing and producing clothing over the summer break of 2005, I put together my first official fashion show for January 11th, 2006. It took six months to put something together that lasted only four whole hours I really learned alot from it....and I would do it again. A Couple of months before this show "The Dallas Weekly" did another story on me so I've been in the newspaper twice. So, class after class, I earned a 3.5 Gpa, and was inducted into a International Honor Society "Phi Theta Kappa" November of 2005. My grades have always good so therefore I recieved a letter that I have been put on the"Vice Presidents Honor Rool". I went ahead two & a half later I graduated May 7, 2006, where I became a certified "Interactive Media Developer". If Steven is not out of town being the Photographer that I am, or maybe on a photoshoot with a Local Rap or R&B Artists. Although I might even be desinging graphics and edited photos for Gotcha Photos, let alone doing fashion photoshoots with National Award Winning Fashion Designer "Larry G. Stewart" for Y.D.D.D (Young Designers Designing Dallas.) You might even catch me just photography test shoots at Tamyra L. Campbell Photography studio. Even though you may walk in on me while I'm sketching a fashion designing or maybe even sewing it together. Or just living life to the fullest and being who I am, proving just because you come from the ghetto you can do whatever you want to do. Fashion Design: I decided that I wanted to come up with a fashion/clothing line. I just know I'm trying to do something that I always wanted to do, I've already done many pairs are pants, they are many basic design not computer aided. I just did all of them by hand which take more time then doing the design with the computer. So as days go by and time to come, I'll try to expand my idea and have a well-known clothing line that I basically started myself out of my bedroom. Photography: I discovered I like to take pictures a long time ago, it's something that you just grow to do. Taking pictures is just wonderful; once you take your first good picture you'll like I'm going to go on to take pictures. So, every since then I just be amazed at taking pictures it's something that I'll take for a good source in my career. I used to feel people photography was less interesting and thought taking pictures of Buildings and nature was more interesting then people. Now I photograph people at any moment now that I'm really enjoying my work. Photography is another form of art you just using a different type of tool. It's pretty cool I enjoy doing it, so I'm going to stick to it. Music Production: I discovered this talent the 2002 summer/fall, when I recorded my first underground album. And then I produced a lot of more songs. And as the time went by I produced songs for different Dallas Artist. So, as I discover it I decided that I would do more and more. And already recorded my fourth album titled "Deal Wit Iti". I've recorded at least 200 songs, which I find very well. Teaching myself how to use professional recording tools. and a Audio Mixer. Graphic Design: I discovered this talent back in 2000, using Photoshop 6 & 7. I been designing graphics for 4 years just as well as webpages, but I'm not doing more websites then graphics. I really love to do website but I just don't like to, but it's something that I can fall back on when I need some money. If somebody just really need a website then of course I'll do it and charge so I can have me something from it. I design all the time even if it's just enhancing a pictures,colorizing, or just CD Covers to flyers I can do it. With the help of alot of brushes found on the internet I can design all day. Graphics is another one that I will take as a good source in my career. Make up: I discovered this ablity at the begining of 2007,using the creative mind that I have. Its' a freeform to make people feel different being able to make people look like something other their normal self.. 2007 Copyright © Steven D.
