It happened when I experienced creative imagination. At that time I was working on projects to apply for a graphic design program. I have spent many hours but still can’t come up with any ideas to design the poster. Suddenly, after standing up to prepare to rest, suddenly an idea came to me quickly. looks like I just witnessed something and got an idea from it. then I went back to my desk and my imagination ran wild. they don’t stop, it’s as if I could sit for hours and still not be able to write all of these ideas down. Vivid images, emotions, and details appear in my head like a movie series. At that time, I was motivated and enthusiastic to work more hours. it looks like an infinite source of energy but can be lost at any moment, so I can’t waste any moment even taking a few minute’s break. But moments like these do not always appear. maybe it does appear but it doesn’t give me a sense of creativity and is very often hindered and depressed when working. At such times I usually take that time to rest or go out for a run to try to find new inspiration. witnessing the event and meeting many people can give me more inspiration. The moments of creativity/imagination that spark them give me more mental strength and passion in this design work. The creative fire makes me feel fearless and makes me feel more confident when working.

My mood board is about petcube pet food dispenser, get them excited about this machine. The pictures show that even when we are not around them, pets still feel through these food dispensers.

This inspiration I took from a big ceremony at the Vietnamese singing stage. Vibrant colors and full of energy. The lively atmosphere and diverse experiences at festivals make them a memorable and cherished part of many people’s lives.

My name is Dang Cao, 21 years old this year.  People know me as a rather quiet, quiet person.  I’m in the graphic design program because I have a passion for creativity.  I want to become a famous designer and get accepted into companies with high salary.  Because I want to find the difference in the design community, I want after I get my diploma I will go back to my country and plan to run a small restaurant and make money from it to help more needy people.  what I want to say is that no matter how difficult I will never give up and always try to achieve the goals I have in the future. The creative environment is the place that allow you to assert your brand. So, if you haven’t it yet, strive for it!

After going through all the different videos on Cut.com the game that I have developed is a parent and children bonding game two truths and one lie. In this game, the child will tell two truths and one lie about themselves and the parents have to identify the truth and the lie. The main goal of this game would get to learn more about each other (De Vries et al 2019). This game would explore the relationship between parent and child. The game is focused on teenagers and their parents. The ideal sample size in order to get a good sense of the viability of the game could be 15 -20 pairs of parents and their adolescent children.
This game has been specifically selected because in the modern fasted paced world it has often stated the parent-child bond is getting ruptured (Mastrotheodoros et al 2020). The parents do not spend much time with their child due to their work pressures which often results in a strained relationship with their child hence the parents often become ignorant about the qualities interests, hobbies, or even their life. By playing this game the parents and even the children may get surprised by the number of things that their parents know about them. The prompt will give the parent and the child to catch up with each other, at the same time learn many unknown facts about each other. I think this would be a very fun game as it would throw some light on the perception of the parent towards their child as well as the perception of the sons and daughters about their parents.

After experiencing about 20 minutes in a Taco Bell Metaverse Wedding, I feel this is a pretty rudimentary tool compared to the present time, their graphics quality is quite lowly, my computer crashed when I was trying to sign in as a guest, and the show didn’t make much of an impression on me. I got back to the starting line quite a few times when trying to move the character. there are many corners of the program that need a lot of improvement if they want them to grow and become known. The good part I can see is that the sound in the show is quite appealing to me. I don’t think this is something that has potential as a promotional tool. because this program has a lot of bugs that need to be fixed and it’s a waste of time and a lot of money if they use this for advertising. Could this work as an entertainment tool? yes, because I think they will still make this tool better in the future, it doesn’t require too much demand from the users and it will be more suitable in working as a tool for entertainment.

Deliver Quality Work

I did very well during my first and second quarters of the media class. However, money became a personal issue and I really needed more spending on the cost of living. I ended up missing a lot of projects in class to apply to restaurants to earn extra money after school. That’s why I couldn’t Balance the time between work and class. Because of working after school until I often woke up very late and missed a lot of knowledge in class. I felt like I was falling behind everyone else and this really set in when I was told that I would be disqualified if this continued. At that time I realized that I needed to arrange a reasonable time between studying and working. So I’ve moved all of my work to the weekend, reducing my commute, and spending more time studying.
so I consider this to be my major failure in not meeting my desires for this class. I have learned a lesson in balancing my time properly and not letting this happen again. So I consider this to be my major failure in not meeting my desires for this class. I have learned a lesson in balancing my time properly and not I will not let this happen again.

For this mission, I want to introduce to everyone a delicious beverage branded from Kirkland, this is a fruit juice with the main flavors of ginger and lemon. I really love their fruity taste. I often drink this type of water in the morning because they are really good for my health. With delicious juice, I think everyone should try it. so this is a good opportunity for me to take a photo and capture this moment.  As you can see below is a photo taken by the camera. I chose the angle next to the window to get the light from outside to make the subject look more natural. After I took the photo, I used lightroom software to correct the colors to make the water bottle more attractive. It took me about a day to complete because I had problems correcting the color of the image. Finally, it works.
