Project #2 First Draft

Q: How do you intend to grow as a designer with this program ?

So me as a learner i want to take advantage of that as much as i can by showing them my work, getting their professional feedback from it, learn from my mistakes to better myself. And there are so many … Read More...

Deciding on a Major

Question: Why did you choose this major (COMD)?

I chose communication design to be the major I wanted to study during my time at city tech because I feel like it caters the best towards what I wanna be afterwards. One of my main goals/passions is towards video games, video making and content creation in general. Whether that be me making YouTube videos myself or streaming a game or even helping my friends make videos that’s what I love to do. And with communication design it can help me develop skills that I would need to take that dream further. … Read More...

Becoming A College Student

 

Transitioning from high school to college was much more smooth than I thought it would be because I am more in control. I’m used to being independent and doing my own thing, so this is almost like a piece of cake. Key word: almost. The breaks that I have between my classes give me time to work on any assignments or just hanging out with friends. It’s all up to me, just the way I like it. My favorite class so far is Art History, probably because I’m an art junkie. The class is engaging, and I’ve already … Read More...

assignment 2-kami

My 1st two weeks at Citytech were mostly transitional for me. When I say transitional, I mean like I’m just getting used to the everyday flow and lifestyle of college. I was also getting accustomed to all the classes I registered for this past summer. So far none of them have really given me any type of trouble except for Typography and Drawing. Typography in particular is difficult to read. The professor says we have to be creative in our assignments yet follow his directions to pretty much the most specific of details. It’s really confusing. Drawing is more … Read More...
