e-Comm taught me to innovate and
design. I can now work independently and carryout client work with some ease
while still producing quality work.
I learned to put myself out into the world and how to brand
myself well. I also learned how to be a leader during projects and to take
charge in a way that things get done.
I learned
all of this and more from my wonderful, fantastic, super awesome, mega cool,
slightly annoying (Nettervile), and inspiring teachers. The teachers here in
e-Comm showed me how to design and how to teach myself the design style that I want to pursue. I have created
my own style of graphics doing motion design.
Creating my
own style is so important to my brand because my brand is who I am as a person
as well as who I am as a designer. Learning the basic and advanced structure of
design will forever be my template for the future and I will always reference
this structure for all my upcoming projects.
My greatest
strengths are in After Effects doing 2D animation and motion graphics. I am good at doing the motion graphics
because most of them are sports related and my roots are heavily saturated in
athletics. My greatest weakness is 3D
animation, I simply do not have an affinity of 3D work nor do I have the
patience for character design.
I’m going
to take what I’ve learned from my wonderful four years and take my experience
to K-state with me and hopefully begin doing graphics for them. After college I
plan to work for a sports team doing there graphics or if that doesn’t work I
will take my skills and work in product management using what I know to work
with design teams.
I wouldn’t
change a thing about my experience here. I have received a wealth of
information and plan to take what I’ve learned and use it throughout the rest
of my life even if I do not pursue design. e-Comm is so much more than just a
class, it is a family, A family that I will never forget and hopefully stay in
touch with.
