Career Cruising


In the career cruising website I picked 5 of my top matches that I was interested in to explain what they are.

Animator: Create 2D or 3D animations for a movie, cartoons, and other animated stories.

Illustrator: Assist in story telling through a series of images depicting the story.

Cartoonist/Comic Illustrator: Draw comics to entertain the reader usually through comedy.

Video Game Designer: Create story, character design, graphics, backgrounds, and technical sides of video games.

Graphic Designer: Make logos, advertisements, package designs, and website designs for businesses.



I personally and the most interested in video game design. I love video games myself and think that making them would be great. It's a hobby of mine to create stories and often find myself making new ones without even thinking too much about it. There's inspiration for stories and characters everywhere in my eyes. Sometimes I'll see a person in public that just catches my eye and it just makes me want to base a character off their appearance. Listening to music or just looking at pieces of art gives me ideas for stories. If I were to become a video game designer, I'd be able to present and share these ideas while handling something I love.

Final Blog

Final Blog For one project, we had to create a poster design, postcard design, and ticket design for a music concert or art show. I picked a music concert of one of my favorite musicians, Regina Spektor. It took me a long time; I believe it was around three weeks of work. I ended up getting behind while working on the vector portrait of her, but I’m proud of how it turned out. It was difficult to catch up and keep up. However, learning how to use adobe better was a good experience. Overall, I like this project, and so did my table partner. I did have to adjust the ticket design due to it being boring with just Regina, so I added the flowers. The poster is my favorite, mostly because you can see the vector graphic the best in that one.   In this project, we had to create a card design for some occasion. For mine, I decided to make a design for my dad’s 50th birthday and for my brother’s high school graduation. It took me a couple weeks, but I was actually ahead ...

SketchUp Project

Image
SketchUp was quite the interesting program. It was easy for me to handle the basics due to having previous experience with it. There were difficulties later on in the project. Occasionally there would be some problems with the measurements of the windows and roof. Near the end I was extremely confused on what our instructor meant by seamless textures. I thought it was referring to the black outlines not being there so I worked for a long time trying to figure out how to make my project "seamless." I finally came to the instructor and found out seamless textures are just imported repeatable patterns of bricks, wood, and any other material that our house might have. Overall the project was enjoyable. This will be my last animation project until potentially fourth quarter. If I do pick animation as one of my classes next year I'm hoping for frame by frame 2D animation. The plans were difficult for me to work with as it would have been handy if they provided meas...

Performance Review

Performance Landscape Man We were assigned to photoshop images over his jacket and shirt to create a "Landscape Man," as it was called. This took around a week of class, but I came in a lot during lunch and after school to get it finished, since I was behind. I had a whole lot of difficulty in remembering how to use different tools of photoshop. With doing that, I had to relearn a lot of photoshop tools, so that was incredibly difficult. After I finished, I did get compliments, mostly due to its difference from most other projects. Most people were using forest scenes or nature, but I couldn't work with that, so I went with a cityscape. I really like this one, actually. It has such bright colors and contrast, so this really appeals to my favorite color palettes. Panorama This project was a panorama of photographs that follow a certain theme. My theme was childhood memories. We spent around two weeks in class, I believe, but I took a while and had to spend time ...
