I thought the student presentations showcased a diversity of mediums and talents. Each speaker presented some of their work and here are some I things I took away from the work.

Clara’s landscape photography was very methodical and extremely well done. Her sense of framing and choice of view camera made the finer details stand out.

Michelle was very energetic and humorous. She is a visual arts major who has been helping design graphic art for local organizations here in Austin.

Hannah is a graphic designer and her work was was very beautiful. She used a lighter toneĀ  which worked well for the things she was designing. She was interested in type faces and their power to change the quality of a piece she was working on.

Alexis was a game designer and she showed everyone a few games she had designed. She was very informative and showed lots of different pieces to her process. In her presentation she include sketches, and other graphic designs on their way to becoming part of a game.

Alexis spoke on the competitive nature of the video game industry and I believe that is true for most jobs in the visual arts genre. I think if you are good at what you do, friendly, and punctual you are much more employable.
