Project #2 First Draft

Question: Where do you see yourself in 5? 10? 15? years

In 5 years, I imagine myself already graduated from college with a Bachelor’s Degree. By that time I will already have a suitable job, earning money for both me and my parents. This way my dad can finally retire from his job. He worked really hard for my family of 4. In 10 years, I imagine myself purchasing my very first house but definitely not my dream house because it’s going to take more than 10 years to pursue my dream house. Also in 10 years, I’ll probably be working for another company. In 15 years, I’ll be 33 years old. I will probably have a family by then with one or two children. I can imagine myself having a higher rank than I was 15 years ago. No one can ever predict what’s going to happen in the future.

Question: What other skills do you want to learn in this program?

I would want to learn how to draw better. I’m not really a good drawer and I don’t consider myself as a good drawer even though people say I draw better than them. I learned from someone who once said: “No artist will ever say their art is perfect”. I think that is true because as an artist/designer you’re creating new things each time you do a project. You won’t consider yourself the “best” designer because there are better designers out there in the world. Another skill I want to learn is how to use photoshop or use any Adobe software. I get the hang of using photoshop in high school but not the other adobe software.

Question: Can you see yourself doing anything else?

I cannot imagine myself doing something else other than design. My mom told me to be a nurse. Literally every Asian parent tells their children to be either a doctor, nurse, lawyer, an accountant…etc. I’m definitely not following what they wanted me to be. One of my friend said to be kindergarten teacher since I love being around with children. However, children can be annoying sometimes. My other friend told me to be a photographer and I have thought of being one, however, anyone can be a photographer. It’s not necessary to go to college just to be a photographer. Photography is just a hobby of mine. It’s not really something I would want to become. The right and the best job for me would be designing.

Question: What are your past graphic design experiences

In high school (sophomore year) I was in Graphic Design. We had a project about doing your own logo and your own business card. Overall I loved how my logo/business card turned out. The logo I did has a feather with my name below it. In my junior year in photography class, I had a project based on advertising. We had to choose a product if what we are advertising and make it an advertisement. In my senior year of high school in economics, we had to make another advertisement commercial. Whoever wins that advertisement commercial does not get to do the final exam. Me and my friend we teamed up and drew the commercial out. My friend did the most work since she’s a better drawer than I am and I did the color. We ended up winning the advertisement commercial which was shocking.
