I think my book turned out well. I like the size of it and I think the calendar layout works well. The positioning of some of the text might be able to be improved.

Part 1
We had Nate and Anne from the team making the indie game Wyldermyth. Nate is their programmer and Anne is their artist. I knew the process for developing a game takes a really long, but they put into perspective how much longer it takes for an indie team to develop their game when they said something you expect to take 3 months could take about five times as long.

Part 1
Alejandro Ura – I liked Alejandro’s presentation and his story of his introduction to the gaming industry.
Anthony M. Zubia – I think Anthony’s designs used humor really well. He displayed important information in funny and attention grabbing ways.
Edith Valle – I really liked how Edith had a personal connection to her work. Her work frequently involved around her own culture and it resulted a lot of colorful work.

Sequence – Nov. 6th
I plan for my book to be in landscape format. I’m going to be putting text on each page, and each line is a different line from multiple Twenty One Pilots songs that I put together to form a short story. Originally, my book was going to be about openness, but after putting the lyrics together I’m making it about hope. The story starts out grim and as pages turn the story turns out hopeful, that is why I decided to have the final page be the sun through the tree branch.
I do not know which of the three fonts to use, but I chose these fonts because I want to go with a handwritten look to make it look slightly like a handwritten letter. I also included examples of what the cover would look like with each font
The pictures in the contact sheet are in the order they would be in the book.

I thought that Bill’s images were very interesting and liked how most had circles and used a sort of heat map. I liked how Kim conducted her work by actually becoming interested in what she was doing. I liked all of the work everyone has done, it was interesting to see the differences in everyone’s work.

After college, I think I would get an entry level job in the game industry. This would most likely be QA testing. I’m not really sure what I actually will end up doing, but I currently would like it to involve video games.
Sequence Book Sketch
For my book I wanted images of the Austin skyline. After looking at my sketches again and thinking more about my concept, I realized that I took my pictures facing my home, Philadelphia. I also want to have convey a feeling of openness in my images, that is why I like to use the skyline and people looking out in the openness.
