I am happy to say that i am finally starting to begin looking for a job. I am looking for anything that matches my skill set such as commissions or game related opportunities. One job in particular that I am interested in is being a game tester. Already I have a few options from visiting game conventions. Other than jobs I may participate in a few summer internships where I will learn more about how an artist functions in the game industry. Next step is actually securing a job or internship.

First blog post of my junior year, hurray! It's good to be back at school with all my friends. The year has started off pretty well, besides the chaotic class schedule, and already we have finished our first project of the year. This project was almost identical to one we did last year on game careers. We started off with research on a few game career choices, then we picked the career that we found best suited our abilities. After that, we started creating infographics to outline the career in detail; the annual wages, what to expect from the job, the qualifications required, ect. While researching about each career, I determined the career that matched myself the best was animator/game artist. Even without the research, it's obvious that that is what best fits me. I already knew what to expect from the career, so the information I gathered didn't surprise me. One thing that was challenging though was creating the actual infographic. I went through many different drafts before I stopped with the one below. My biggest problem was the amount of text I used. An infographic is supposed to catch your eye and interest you in the topic. My infographic was too text heavy and would discourage anyone from reading it. Like last year when we were making infographics, I really struggled with conveying the information I needed to in a small amount of words. For someone who is as visually oriented as I am, it's surprising that I struggled making this infographic look nice. That is something I will need to work on in the future.
