Post 7: ACS and Capture the Flag

     This year I attended the ACS seminar online. I would of liked going to the seminar in person, but sadly I was scheduled for work before hand and wouldn't of been able to make it. I think that I had to watch the recorded version because they might have started early. I got off of work at four so I thought I'd just miss the introduction, but there was already two hours available to watch. Security isn't really a big interest of mine, but I thought it was cool learning about hackers and such.

     The highlight of this seminar was definitely the capture the flag that the school set up. I think this was very creative, and very challenging. I probably didn't get one of the highest scores out there. I believe it was around 13,000 because of the massive multiplier the put on the score, but it was a pretty fun game. I think the riddles could have been more clear, and that would have helped me out. I liked this assignment though, it was entertaining and I'd do it again.

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!

Post 1: Art Major

Image
     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 t...
