Field Trip Report

About Me

Hi! My name is Jessie and my major is Communication Design, as I’m currently in my sophomore year at City Tech. My interest in graphic design came from all the inspirations I have been seeing on social media and from the world around me. On social media, I have come to find many talented artists and designers that are able to create such beautiful things like artwork or websites and I have thought to myself, one day, maybe I can do that too. I have always loved artistic and creative things and going to a high school that had school trips every week to mainly museums introduced me to so many new findings of the city.

As I went to college, I started off at Pratt Institute for Architecture and although this was an unforgettable semester, I realized this major wasn’t for me. During this, I had Design class and used Rhino (which was complex), and also some hands-on building/sculpting projects in other classes. Afterwards, I went to LaGuardia for Photography and I had great learning experiences there, especially when I took a class for film and was able to learn how to develop film, using specific tools, along with the darkroom. Now, as we can see, I’ve landed in City Tech and everything is going well so far and I’m definitely learning, slowly but surely. So far, I’ve put to use with Illustrator and Photoshop but I’m definitely still an amateur in all of this.

I really look forward to being able to design my own art pieces and show them to the public. There may be a lot of competition but I will probably stick to my own world and see what I can learn and develop over time.
