Major Studio & Design For This Century

Animation & Motion Graphics Concepts

CONCLUSION

Since we had a paper due for the Design for this Century, I realized I’ve dedicated too much time for it because I kept on writing and rewriting my original theme.  I realized I have issues in overly analyzing.  In retro-spec I should’ve been more organized, maybe started way earlier or be more decisive which direction I wanted to talk about.  Maybe limit the themes I wanted to explore or better yet, get started a weeks before.

Because now this affects the other courses.  In a way that I wouldn’t have enough time to dedicate my proper thoughts, ideas and production would be rushed.  Which then will result in a mediocre project.

Well let's see... I graduated from NYU w/ a BA in French Language and International Politics. Because of the French, I became an account executive in the fashion industry. Being a corporate yuppie didn't really sit well with me after awhile. So I switched careers and retrained as a Graphic Designer/Art Director building up my print portfolio (I wanted to pay attention to my creative side).

Now in my 30s, I want to evolve into something more progressive along the lines of new media (i.e. interaction, web and motion). I've handled huge accounts, dealt with "captain of industry" types, and managed a staff. At this point, I want to focus on me and what I truly want to become professionally. I'm a lot more mature and honest with myself this time around. And I think I have more to offer artistically and intellectually than I had in the past.
