I feel like I had a decent semester. I learned a lot about myself. I enjoyed your class. I felt like I learned a lot from it.

I plan on getting a job at a small developer company. I would obviously need a degree which I plan on getting here. I then plan on gaining enough reputation that I would eventually try and get hired at one of  my favorite companies, Treyarch.

These speakers were from Spacetime Studios. They make and develop their own games.  I did not know that one of there games was a recommended  when the first iPhone came out. It really gave me an insight on how the gaming world works. I really enjoyed the designers part as that is what I plan to do.

What’s your favorite video game?

I liked the pictures he took. The film he was on interested me in that how long it took to make. I also have seen the one photo that he used for his laptop background.

1). My future is not very well planned after college. I guess I would try to find a small game development company and work there for  a couple of years. It is customized to me by the fact that not a lot of people do what I want to do.

2).  I would want to go to Australia. I have been there before on a trip I took in between freshman and sophomore year.

3). I’m not in any groups.

I feel like I most related to the guy. His work seem similar to what I would be doing. The girl surprised me as I didn’t expect to hear that she got scammed. The most valuable piece of advice I learned was to keep trying and to put yourself out there.

Mary: She was quite an interesting presenter, but she was enjoyable with the route to where she is now.
Diana: I liked her story and her art.
John & Omar: They were probably the best presenters as they even demoed the games they made.

I really like this website as it just looks like some basic art that I could do

I do enjoy the work of Christo Guelov. I especially enjoy the art work that he did in November of 2015. He drew a series of shapes and figures which could be perceived as different things at different angles. This type of work always intrigues me as it just messes with my mind.   

In this picture, it looks like just a few colorful lines, but from another angle it looks absolutely amazing piece of work. Christo Guelov said that “The metaphor “A bridge between two shores” is the starting point of this artistic intervention” (http://christo-guelov.net/). This type of art style is called Zebra Crossing. He states that it is not just for art purposes, instead it is for “This action, parallel to the art concept, fights toward improving driver and pedestrian focus, by enhancing respect for zebra crossing using its visual impact”  (http://christo-guelov.net/).

He also has done a piece of work called: Orange Rings. He placed them in rows of four with three in each row. Guelov stated that “The installation establishes a parallel between the free movement of the water and the global process of the human migration over time” (http://christo-guelov.net/). The meaning behind this impressive symbolism was for lifeguards.

I found that I play videogames a bit too much and not enough time studying so I will improve on that.
