Post 1: Art Major



     Hi! My name is Tyree and I'm currently finishing my associates of arts. And once I finish this degree I will transfer out to pursue my BFA in graphic design. I would like to pursue graphic design because I enjoy looking at and creating logos. I like looking at the details of how a product presents itself, and I think its something that we subconsciously keep with us. Such as the Coca-Cola logo, we can instinctively recall those cursive letters on the side of a can. And another fun part of logos is when they use the gestalt principles. These principles are what a lot of designers use in their work, and a lot of times it allows them to add subliminal messages in them. This can be seen in the logos such as the FedEx logo which has an arrow in it.

    What I see myself doing is still a little unclear. I have a lot of different ideas where id like to take my career such as logo designer, magazine designer, or even owning a brand. I do know however once I transfer schools I would like to try to get an internship with Cartoon Network. And if I could land a job there maybe as an art director I think that id be pretty happy with that as a career.

Post 8: Using Code Academy

     While using Code Academy I found it to be a very well made tool for kids or adults to use if they were interested in coding. I think if I had this website growing up in my early teens I would have loved learning about it, but now after trying multiple times of trying to code I know it's just not for me. Ive also tried using Dreamweaver before, and there is just something about it that doesn't bring me any joy out of it. I think it has to do with that I can't see the progress by just looking at lines of code. I like art because I can see what I'm drawing what needs to be fixed, and the adjustments are different when it comes to drawing than coding.      Would I use it to learn other coding languages? No. I just couldn't have fun with the program because it was very cut and dry, which of course it's going to be because its coding not a video game. I think this website is great for people to learn who are interested in coding, but unfortunately after my...

Post 4: Midterm

     When doing this project I decided to do module three because it was over what i was most familiar with. Using the program, Blackboard Ultra, I only had one difficulty, which was getting the power point to load into the share file program. For some reason as a power point file it wasn't loading up, but once i saved it as a PDF it went through fine. Other than that it's a pretty simple program. The only thing that was hard about this midterm was presenting the material. I've never taken a speech class so it really isn't my forte. I've given speeches before such as at my high school graduation, but when i have to be serious and talk in front of people i tend to freeze up. All in all I did prefer this rather than taking a test so thanks for that!
