With Reading Week coming up fast I realized we are almost halfway through this semester and I haven't made very many entries in my blog that aren't just posting my assignments. Mostly because this semester has been very busy because I am taking three New Media classes which all have time-consuming projects. Although a bit stressful, I feel that taking all of these classes is helping me to expand my creative process, each in their own way.
In my Theories of Design class, I am learning a lot about always thinking about negative space and thinking through how you set up everything on your workspace. You have to be aware of all elements at all times.
In my Production Management class, we are doing what I have been wanting to do for a long time in this program. We are learning how to present work that we have done, like we would if we were presenting to a client. This is a very important skill to develop because ultimately this is what most of us New Media students will be doing as a career. Creating things for other people and selling them to them.
Finally, in my compositing class I am learning a whole new side to special effects. They are a lot simpler than I had thought and I am having fun creating little sequences with particles, etc.
So that I guess is my mid-semester relection on my class.
Have a good break!
