What is your name?
Allison
When is your birthday?
September 29
Why did you choose to study Communication Design?
I was interested in how broad of a subject it was. I really wanted to learn more about UX/UI, motion graphics, branding and advertising, specifically.
What are you most inspired by?
The environment I'm in, artists I follow, music, and my culture.
What has been your favorite class so far? Why?
I liked Core Lab Typography because the professor was really nice and gave constructive feedback. He encouraged us to create a lot of versions of work, and while that drained my print credits, it pushed me to try new things and not always get too attached to my first version of a project.
What are you hoping to learn in this class?
How to code, specifically to get better at Javascript. I want to learn how to make my designs more interactive.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
Nap and edit photos.
When you imagine a graphic designer, what do you think they do on a day to day?
Collaborate with multiple teams, and come up with multiple versions of a design to be presented to their superiors.
When you imagine a developer, what do you think they do on a day to day?
Work alongside designers and other teams in doing the back-end development of executing a digital application.
Where do you see yourself after graduating? What kind of job do you want to have?
Hopefully working in either UX/UI, branding or motion graphics.
Do you consider yourself an artist, a designer, both, or neither?
Both!
