Graphic Design Program Analysis

It was my freshman year of high school when I took Drawing A; I quickly learned that I had a skill that I had previously ignored and began embracing it. Sophomore year, though, was when I truly started using my art. It was during this year that I received a 4 on my AP-Studio Art portfolio, and won four awards at Scholastic Art and Writing in photography. Art gave me a feeling of accomplishment that I didn’t usually get in the rest of my academics, so I always tried my

I graduated from Hilliard Darby High School this past spring. My love for art began very young with my father who always made sure to encourage my creativity. I remember making coil pots with him during the summer and then painting them. In the ninth grade I took painting which I immediately became attached too. For the past four years I have continued to expand my abilities and strengthen skills with the help of my teacher Mrs. Kulick-Brown. From there I have completed several commissioned pieces for teachers and their families. Painting has taught me a lot about color and composition. During high school I also was involved in ceramics where I competed in the annual ‘Feats of Clay” competition. I love the focus and serenity I experience

She spoke to a friend who was attending Sheridan College for illustration and she saw what amazing works being done by students. Life drawings, painting, all the foundational skills to becoming an artist were being covered, as well as students being permitted to use all sorts of mediums to express themselves.

The year Gaffney joined the school, my freshman year, I signed up for his Computer Graphics class. Starting with practically no experience, I soon became proficient in tools like Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop. Though the course only lasted a single trimester, I

Coming to college has been a strange and great experience. It has opened my eyes to everything I capable of and every opportunity I could have coming my way. Many places I go are very important in everything that I will come to be throughout college, such as my other classes, but one place in particular has impacted me greatly through the three weeks I have been here. I will tell you just how important the design college, and every opportunity that comes with it, is to me.

I have gained in Year 10 and 11 lots skills in my Art & Design Project Unit 1 Object Still life lots of sketching and painting techniques, skills that are observational pencil drawing, observational drawings and also lots of painting techniques and processes of water colours, oil painting mixing colours medium use black ink acrylic paints.

Once in high school, I put my all into my art. I started exploring different styles and types of art, like design. I applied my skills everywhere: from designing the yearbook for eight years straight to photographing for the Admissions team. I toyed with mediums like acrylic and watercolor as I deviated from the paper I used to use. As time passed, art became who I am: it was what I used to think and feel about the world and I’m compelled to create for

The direction of my art-making has changed considerably since I started my BFA at NSCAD. My path until then had not exposed me to many of the possibilities within the arts and my practice was quite limited. Almost every single professor here has impacted how I think and see the world around me. I have been given tools for critical thinking and techniques to express my ideas. I have been repeatedly, and sometimes reluctantly, forced out of complacency and comfort and this has always led to growth.

In this research paper I will be taking a look at two prestigious art and design schools. Each of these schools is world renowned and highly ranked, and has many famous alumni. I will also feature some of the famous artists and designers that have graduated from the schools over the years. The two schools are The Pratt Institute in New York, and The Royal College of Art or RCA in London, England.

Throughout high school and college thus far, I have been a part of the TRiO program, which is suitable for first generation and low-income students. Being a first generation college student , it allows me to succeed above the boundaries by parents were not able to do. This allows me to further my education and without it, I would not be achieving my BFA in Design. My heart’s desire is to get my BFA in Design and continue visually communicating the properties of good design. In my beginning art courses, I had trouble opening up and getting out of my comfort zone, but by gaining that knowledge from my freshman level courses, I got to broaden those concepts.

Three weeks before the school year ended I was offered a unique opportunity to work in graphic design at Skyline Art Services. Here I was able to see the business side of art in a small, but very profitable company. Properly testing materials and ideas is one of the many lessons I learned from Skyline Art Services which helped me form goals and understand how to reach them. Seeing artists successfully sell their artwork and make a living off of it gave me confidence where it was

When choosing a game design program, you must consider its industry accreditations. For a respected offering, choose Centennial College's Software Engineering Technology - Interactive Gaming (Co-op), as it is officially known. The Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS) and the Canadian Council of Technician and Technologies jointly approved accreditation of this program in 2011. This joint accreditation is the first of its kind in Canada. Graduates from the program may apply for certified membership to either CIPS or its provincial engineering technology association. Additionally, this game design program has met the national technology accreditation requirements established by the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists and, as such, has received national accreditation status by the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board Lastly, The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists recognizes game design program as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in the Technologist category.

I am still unsure to some extent of what I want to do in the graphic design field, although I am certain that I want to be in this field. The couple months that I have been working as a designer have certainly reinforced this. Though, with graduation approaching I need to begin contemplating what exactly I want to do in the design field. For some time now I have wanted to go into the video game or movie industry. Both being fairly different from each other even though they are entertainment. Also, the type of classes that one would normally take for that career path are different than what I have taken. Therefore, the person I interviewed was Courtney Krystek. She is a videographer, designer, photographer and several other things for Marcus

In the spring of 2013, an unassuming student by the name of Auston Robertson attended competition brimming with youthful optimism. This was no ordinary competition however. This competition was more like the youth Olympics of his chosen field. He was going to the american nationals of SkillsUSA in the field of graphic design. He had no idea what he was walking into, and this alone would prove to be his most unanticipated and his greatest flaw.
