DDP Chapter 1
I totally forgot this in my last post (I fell asleep and posted what I wrote last night) so I’m going to try and keep this short and sweet.
I need to figure out what I’m best at! Like I haven’t thought and rethought what I think my best skills are a hundred times on my own. I know right away that my skills in 3D are lacking when compared to many of my other classmates, but that doesn’t mean I can’t use those in my other works. A still 3D image can still be useful in other areas, like web design or print & graphic design. Web design is something I’m ok at, but I know so little about the back end architecture that I’ve had to tell a few clients “Sorry, I don’t know how to do what you want, I only build the graphical user interface and basic structure of the pages.” One guy actually wanted me to find his content for him, but that’s a story for another time. Print & Graphic design is perhaps my strongest suit. I am well versed in indesign and illustrator, have a good understanding of Photoshop, and have received a smathering of quark training. It seems I’ve been making posters and flyers and other printouts since I was in elementary school and we had Broderbund’s print shop. You remember old dot matrix and daisywheel printers? Now you had to be really creative to get anything designed worth looking at on those old clunkers! Besides, people will always need print designers, as long as there are still products on shelves.
