Week 13 Blog: Personal Creativity Development

My personal creativity and development has changed over this semester by having my hand forced at challenging myself. Before, I would easily throw in the towel when things seemed too difficult or hard - per my own personal thoughts on my design capabilities. This happened multiple times throughout this semester when it came to being presented with new 2D or 3D Motion projects on programs I hadn't used before. I would procrastinate, start the design, and when something wouldn't work - get a strong sense of panic and imposter syndrome, and then ultimately cry lol. But honestly, after getting all THAT out of my system, I would bring myself to problem solve and end up with some of the best design projects I've ever done. 

I guess you could say that the way I developed my creativity was by building my confidence. Doing these projects instilled a strong drive and desire to prove myself and also brought out my huge competitive streak. I am more than capable of doing big things and I've shown this based on professor feedback, I just had to get over my self-doubt on tackling new things in order to prove it.

    I’ve learned some similar things. I think it’s easy to feel so overwhelmed that you rather not do any of it and just put it to the back of your mind, but I think it’ great to challenge yourself and face things head on, and that’s cool that you’ve learned how to do that more.

Week 15 Blog: What I'd like to develop

  What is one thing you'd like to develop in yourself? What I would like to develop in myself is more confidence with my new chosen career. Once I become advanced at my profession, I become really sure of myself and confident in my abilities. I would also like to become a leader in the industry and develop better leadership skills. I'd like to be completely self reliant and in charge of my own life after enhancing my designing skills and salary to a self sufficient point. I can't think of anything else at this moment but I hope to achieve the above in 3-5 years.

Week 14 Blog: Inspiration in Colorado

Image
  Share something that you love about Colorado that inspires your creativity. I think I have to be cliché when I say that I love the outdoors here - it's the best thing about Colorado. However, my favorite part of visiting mountain towns is the art galleries and stores. Better yet, I love when there are seasonal art festivals that all the local artists gather and come together to in order to sell their creative pieces. When you look at different works, it is always inspiring because you see new creative ideas and how they are accomplished, whether it be paintings, photography, jewelry, sculpture, etc.

Week 9 Blog: City of Roses

Describe a time that visited a place for the first time. What do you remember? What were you drawn to? Felt uncertain about? If you could visit again, what would you do while there?  I remember the first time I visited Portland, Oregon and the Oregon Coast.  I was blown away by the beauty of this state as it reminded me of the green misty foliage and trees of Atlanta. I was drawn to the wild roses, misty mornings, green moss, numerous trees, rivers and waterfalls. A bonus was visiting the Pacific Ocean for the first time at Haystack rock. Pictures don't do justice for the rocks enormousness. I have very fond memories of Silver Falls State Park, which was one of the best state parks i had ever been to since you can go behind enormous waterfalls.  In all honesty, I faced some uncertainty in realizing that moving to Oregon would have likely been a better choice and fit for me when I decided to leave Atlanta. This was based on the setting and what the city had to offer. I've learne
