I have interestsinbothhistoryandclassicsbecause Iusedtobe readstoriesof themwhenIwas
younger.Ijustkeptreadingthembutfrom differentreligionsandbackgroundssuchasthe Greeks/
Romangods, Norse,EgyptianandCelticmythologyandmost war storiesIjustreadin my spare time.
The topicsexcite me because storiesare alwaysinterestingandtheyhave alongrunningnarrative
so itis easiertounderstandandto knowwhatand how somethingishappening.The thoughtof
there beingmultiple godsisveryinterestingtosee how theyinteractwitheachother.Iwouldlove
to expandmyknowledgeinthisarea.Tocreate a lotof conceptart and game animationstodo with
mythology,orfantasyeventhoughIdoneedto add some varietytowhatgamesI create.My other
interestisvideogamesrecentlyIhave reallyenjoyedthe Witcher3,because of boththe amazing
designsandthe greatnarrative.ThisalsoshowsI wantto go intoaction/adventure gamesand
fightinggames.The designsare greatbecause theyhave fulluse of lighting,theyuse awide variety
of coloursandtheyuse an ultra-realisticartstyle.
The main subjectsthatI studiedthatwill helpme are myhistory,artand classics. Asforcreative
medialevel 2itgave some basicsfor PhotoshopandPremiere sothenIcouldactuallyanimate what
I had made.Atlevel 3I became ProficientinPhotoshopbutstill strugglewithbothPremiere and
AfterEffects withboththe effectsand the animation andIfinditdifficulttofilmsubjectson camera.
For my level 3FMP I am goingto be creating,videogame concept artfor a medieval MMO type
game.Whichwill have charactercreationand interestingdesigns. Thismade me wanttoprogresson
withfurthereducationbecause Ihave lookedforjobsinvideogame design,theyall saythatIneed
to go throughuniversitytobe even consideredforthe jobinterview.Asforgoingontothe second
yearit isbecause there isstill alot thatI needto learnto become fasteranddraw betterdesigns
withsome more detail.Ingeneral IthinkthatI have to start drawingwithlinesinsteadof using
pixelsbutingeneral IthinkthatI shouldtryotherthingsas well asjustusingpixels.The same goes
for the genre I shouldtryand make differentgenre gamesinsteadof justfantasy.
For eachand everyproductthat I had made exceptforthe audioprojectIhave done some drawing
for it.In mostof the othercasesI also decidedtoanimate the drawings.Ithasgivenme quite alotof
practice withpixel artand the animationof pixel art.FormyFMP I created a videogame.Ilearntto
not be unrealisticabout,mygoals butI alsolearned how tomake some of the animationfaster.This
made me want to progressfurther. IrealisedthatIhad a lot tolearn,inotherstylesthatI have to try
whichI am goingto do inthe future.The mainprogramsthat I have some skill inare photoshop,
premiere andgarage band however;Ican still use some of the basicsinAfterEffectsthough
anythingelse Ihave noreal experience with.
PlayingVideogamesgivesme ideasforwhatIcouldmake.ReadingaboutGreekmythologyand
historygivesme some greatideasforgames,asfar as clientwork goesI’ve done some designson
redbubble butthat seemstobe as far as work goes.Thismakesme a great candidate foruniversity
because itshowsthat I can drawfrom a lot of differentareasforinspiration.ItalsoshowsthatIhave
some skillstobackit up as well alsoIwantto learnmore about the gamesindustry.
From UniversityIexpecttobe able toget a careerfairlyeasilyif Iputin the workI also expectto
come out of universitywithsome contactswithinthe industry.Iwantto goto universitybecause it
makesapplyingtojobseasieranditwill teachme extraskillswhichIdonot have andreinforce the
knowledge whichIalreadyhave.Itwill alsogive me some experience withsoftware suchasZ-Brush
