Bio

Hello my name is Moeen Razak. I am 18 years old and I attend New York City College of Technology of City Tech for short. Since I was small I always loved watching anime, playing video games, and reading manga. They have helped who I am today. They helped fuel my passion for design. I always wanted to make a my very own video game. One where it would have all the different ideas I have. I also have an interest in ancient mythology. I love the ancient stories of heroes and dragons and the different gods. They kinda tie into my love of anime and manga. The only difference is mythology involves culture. I find the different cultures of ancient times really fascinating. They help bring new ideas for video games that I want to make.

My Avatar

The picture I chose as my avatar is from an anime I watched about Japanese culture. The picture is about a boy who delves deeper into a world about ancient demons and gods. The picture has some ancient writing and with an ancient wolf demon. This represents my love of mythology and culture. It also has nice vibrant colors, which represent my artistic nature.

Misinterpreted Avatar

My avatar can be misinterpreted in many ways. For instance many people can think that this is a random picture off the web that I thought looked cool. Most people wouldn’t take the time to understand how the picture would represent the person posting it. Also people might just think that I love anime and nothing else.

Purpose

My profile is suppose to show what I’m like as a person. It should show my interests along with what I’m striving for. It should help convey the level of my seriousness. Most of all as a designer it should show what I’m capable of.

View From My Window: Research

ADV1100 Project #1, Student Posts

I look outside my window everyday to check the weather. I usually see the same scene over and over again. It hardly ever changes, but sometimes I’d catch a very interesting glimpse of something. Like I would see some birds bathing in the bird bath in front my house or sometimes I would see a cat jump on top the bird bath for a drink. I’d see squirrels run on top the pole wires. Most of the time I see a light blue house connected to a tan house. I see trees and when the breeze blows I’d see the leaves fall to the ground. In front the light blue house has many flowers, but they lack in a variation of colors. The tan house has a barren garden, so there’s not much to see there. Occasionally I would see people partying or parents picking up there kids from daycare. I also have a very good view of the blue sky, and when it’s cloudy I have a nice view of the gray puffy clouds. I believe the view from my window is the best in the house because I have the front window and there aren’t many things blocking my view.
