In today’s lecture, Adam laid out the top three factors his company tries to deliver on when taking on a job/client. In short form, those are

:1 – Deliver Quality Work
2 – Create and Foster Trust (with the client)
3 – Add Value to the Production/Company/Idea

He also shared a few experiences where he made mistakes, and was unable to live up to the bar which he tries to set for his and his company’s work.Pick ONE of the above three factors and reflect upon an experience in your life where you failed to live up to the expectations of a project or job. It could be your own expectations or those set by an outside entity, but talk about what you learned from that experience and how it shaped your process/work ethic from that point forward.

3 – Add Value to the Production/Company/Idea

Ive only had 2 jobs in my life so ill speak about my time at the vet , where the bosses asked for ideas to improve the cleanliness and productivity for staff , I said that we can assign staff to the doctors so they have time to write down their notes and speak with clients to make them less the stressed , that ended worked out and they used till the day even after I left, then I asked for better cleaning supplies and gear for the assistants after they saw that I’m serious about my job and we actually need these supplies. I built a trust with my boss that he looked for me when something needs to be changed or before he wanted to change something and asked for my opinion.

So for this first AR project I had to make a poster with eye jack , I drew this in procrate and I thought be cute to make it blink I’ve never done a gif so this was fun , I had an issue where the cat was blinking really fast ,so I had to add more frames that fixed it so this was a fun project to do!

HARD SKILLS VS SOFT SKILLS

1. HARD SKILL-Spanish,photoshop,drawing ,SOFT SKILL- time management, taking responsibility,creativity

2.The reasons why I think that these are my hard/soft skill , I speak Spanish and that’s how I got my jobs up to now is because a lot of Spanish speakers always would call or come in asking for a Spanish speaker to help them with question and plenty of customer will tell me they one come that location because me, especially at a clinic location or when the community has a big latino demographic. Photoshop is a hard skill for me because I’ve used it since I was 13 yrs old and now I’m 27 I’m very confident to say that I know how to use it and can use for many things. and when I say artist I mean like I can draw illustrations like comics and also animals in a painty style I’ve included this in my project for jills class for a hot sauce bottle. my time management is a soft skill that I think i have but when it comes to small things I put those last on my list to prioritize the more important things. taking responsibility is a huge deal for me and I expect those around me to do the same with their tasks or work ,if I’m lacking or know that I’m not good at something I would acknowledge it and try to work on it cause I can’t runaway from my problems, creativity in my past jobs I would be the one that would always come to mind when something with Creativity was involved like making signs to making doodles on medication bags for pets after a surgery I also did a mural for my high school.

3. photoshop, drawing – time management, creativity

most of these are my creative skills that I wanna build up more , especially time management is something I need to work on as the year goes by but it seems to be going well for now

4. time management for school, I would benefit more with all the School work I have something to keep me on my toes and not slack off, when comes to my personal life that disappears which affects my School work. time management would help when I get a job or if I decide if I want to freelance after School

The importance of a personal project, a personal project that I’ve think of doing while attending Creative Academy is making opening an Etsy shop or something like that of like canary or personal art and it can include stickers,posters,stationery maybe shirts, its something of been thinking of doing doing for awhile

1.so the project is me selling my art from the things that I would like to see more, I hope to gain money lol but see if People would actually like my stuff, and live off that somehow

2.so I can start writing down I would start with so I would probably Start with sticker and outsource them to save the time and sanity if I do them myself, drawing the pieces would take 3 weeks

3.supplies that I need are just my iPad photoshop or use procrate and print them out to see if the colors are correct

4.for the price for this would be like 200 depending on the min requirement of each design and then the shipping is around 10 and the supplies for envelopes and shipping the stickers to customer probably 3 dollars.
