1. Hugely important: trap thicknesses are based on print-ing requirements.

2. After trapping, DO NOT SCALE!!

3. That’s why trapping is last step to accomplish. At this point, all content is done.

Strengths in many areas have made me a well-rounded individual.I know that the personal goals I strive to express will allow me to succeed. After fin-ishing my degree at Southeast Tech, I plan to take my skills and use them as an asset to my father’s business and to myself. The skills that I feel have made this goal attainable are my current work experiences. I worked in a retail store for four years. The atmosphere that I worked in allowed me to take leadership and motivate others in the workplace. I taught others how to be task orientated and use communication to your advantage. Communica-tion is one thing that I strive to stay committed to.

Characteristics like leadership and communication are crucial in the area that I am trying to pursue. The graphic design degree that I will earn in May will allow me to start the rest of my career. My plans for after receiving my degree are pursing one of my passions which is videography. I have dabbled in this area and have found that there is much opportunity. Currently, I am broadening my skills by working at a local print shop and understanding the specifics of print production. My name is Brekan Roths and with the commu-nication, critical thinking, and collaboration skills he path to success will be well attainable.
