Maryvale Senior Finds Passion in Digital Media

Julian Guizzotti is a senior from Maryvale High School and is enrolled in the Digital Media program at Erie 1 BOCES Harkness Career & Technical Center. “I enrolled in BOCES because graphic design and video production has always been an interest of mine and when I found out I can do that in school, I was thrilled,” Julian said. In the fall of 2023, following graduation, Julian plans on attending college for graphic design. Under the instruction of Jae Bieger, Julian has learned about digital photography, sound design, Adobe Illustrator and more. “Julian is a passionate digital artist with a strong work ethic,” Bieger said. “He practices in class and independently at home on Photoshop projects. He demonstrates a skill level in digital composites that’s greater than any student I’ve ever had in my class. Julian also excels in video post-production skills and is a great candidate for a modern production facility.” “This program has allowed me to immerse myself in the digital art world,” Julian said. “I look forward to coming to school because of this class.”
