Throughout school, I worked on the newspaper and yearbook staffs, where I wrote articles, took photographs, and handled layout\u2014experiences that quietly laid the foundation for my future career.<\/p>\n\n<p>Along the way, I explored technical drawing and printing, gaining hands-on experience with professional tools and production processes. At the time, these skills seemed unrelated, but they would later come together in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>In 1981, another pivotal influence entered my life: <em>the computer<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<p>I began learning BASIC programming, later dabbling in PASCAL and C, and eventually moving deeper into hardware, networking, and systems administration. By the mid-1990s, I had earned multiple technical certifications, including Novell CNA and CNE, A+ Service Technician, and several vendor-specific credentials.<\/p>\n\n<p>Equally important was my early connection to the online world. In the early 1980s, I logged on to CompuServe using a borrowed 300-baud modem and quickly became fascinated with digital communication. I was hooked. I went on to run my own Bulletin Board System (BBS) and, by the early 1990s, began creating downloadable photo graphics and doing freelance design work. When I joined the Internet in 1995, web design felt like a natural evolution\u2014my programming background made HTML intuitive, and soon I was designing websites, logos, and print materials alongside my IT consulting work.<\/p>\n\n<p>In 2009, I made a decisive shift. While my technical career had been successful, my true passion was creative work. I committed fully to graphic design and returned to school to refine my skills and formalize my education. In 2013, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with an Associate of Arts degree in Graphic Design, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Communications with a concentration in Web Design and Development, and a Certificate in Multimedia. During this time, I also earned multiple ADDY Awards from the American Advertising Federation for my design work.<\/p>\n\n<p>All of these experiences\u2014creative, technical, and professional\u2014came together with the formation of Brian Eller Graphics, LLC in February 2015.<\/p>\n\n<p>Today, <em>Brian Eller Graphics<\/em> delivers thoughtful, well-crafted design solutions grounded in decades of hands-on experience. My work reflects not just technical skill or visual polish, but a deep understanding of how design, technology, and communication work together to tell a compelling story.<\/p>\n<p>This is my story. I&#8217;d love to help you tell yours.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1179","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianellergraphics.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianellergraphics.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianellergraphics.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianellergraphics.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianellergraphics.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1179"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/brianellergraphics.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1179\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1721,"href":"https:\/\/brianellergraphics.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1179\/revisions\/1721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianellergraphics.com\/2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
