To execute the project I gave myself 10 years to complete it. This is my 3rd year In Seattle Washington. I applied to work at many restaurants with the aim of learning how they developed their restaurants.

To execute the project (other than time) I need a companion to help me give ideas for my reference. That will help me a lot and I can get the highest success rate in this project.

Currently, I’m not sure how much money will be spent on this project, because this is just my 3rd year doing the project. But probably at least $100.000.

Last summer, I enrolled myself in a recitation competition, in which I was to recite my own poems in front of an audience in one of the biggest auditoriums in my city. For this, I wrote five short poems on five different subjects concerning my city. I spent around a month researching the relevant subjects that would make the poems interesting. Also, I clicked photographs and prepared a presentation with musical effects, that would keep the audience engaged and assist in fabricating a soothing ambiance. I rehearsed multiple times to enhance my voice modulation, expression, and body language, which were the important parameters of judgment for the assignment. Unfortunately, I had to pivot considering an unforeseen circumstance. Two nights prior to my performance at the recitation competition, I met with an accident and burned my left foot severely. Due to my negligence and lack of self-awareness, my burn aggravated and I had to be hospitalized. Consequently, I decided to cancel my candidature. Heartbroken, I called up the organizers. They enquired if my performance was ready. Upon getting positive feedback, they asked me if I would like to join virtually, and I readily agreed. Thus, was satisfied with the decision made and glad that my hard work did not get wasted, though multiple alterations had to be incorporated. On the day of the performance, organizers sent their team to assist me at the hospital. They connected me to the audience over video conference and also played the presentation I made alongside. Fortunately, the idea worked and my efforts were acknowledged. The audience liked my performance, and so did the judges. I secured the third position in the competition. The original plan of life would have been more fruitful and if I was not injured, my level of energy and enthusiasm would have been more. Nonetheless, this plan, although different from the original one, was successful.

The design, film, photography, and animation industries are all related as they are all concerned with creating visual media and content for different purposes. Design refers to the process of visually solving a problem using elements such as layout, color, and typography. This eventuality includes creating branded materials, websites, packaging, or other types of visual content for various industries and purposes. Filmmakers use a variety of techniques, such as writing, directing, and producing, to create films and television programs that are intended to entertain, inform, or inspire audiences. I’m here.

On the subject of nature design, I think this is quite an interesting project for me. As we see the Nature Corner in class that I have designed is a visual tool to help us see and get acquainted with nature, thereby increasing our knowledge about the natural world. In the photo, you can see the rooftop of the building is decorated with ornamental plants that make the workers feel comfortable while they work. Keep the lights from being too bright in the classroom. In our office, there is always not only dust but also toxic substances in the air from items such as computers, tables and chairs, wall paint, detergents, and even furniture. The smoke from the outside of the room. Put a few potted plants, to help reduce radiation from technology equipment, an excellent solution for detoxifying formaldehyde and benzene gas, found in detergents and cosmetics.

For this project, I’m using the Instagram app to review the AR. I was surprised when I found out that Instagram can use AR through a brand called Qreal3D. They make an AR effect filter for people who want to know how AR works. For me, the AR effect on Instagram is not too good but it is at least enough for people who want to experiment with them.

For this project, we are chosen Restaurant for the topic AR. I used Photoshop to make a panel list of food that is the best for this restaurant, next I capture google maps and edit some words in photoshop. For the video, I took from a youtube that they film about food in this restaurant, after downloading the video I used premiere pro to cut short the video and export the video at a low quality to make sure the file was less than 3MB.

For this project I think it would be more interesting to create something related to Chris mast. That why I added Chris mast item to make it more to make the holiday more lively. The problem when doing this project is that I cant get the animals to move or doing anything.

To make AR, I took a short video from the final of the class adobe after effects class and put it in eye jack. To make the poster, I took a screenshot from the video, and then I used adobe photoshop to edit and decorate the image to make it like a Poster.

Customer Obsession

About a year ago I had the experience of going to work at a restaurant. My role is the waiter. I work very hard but sometimes I encounter very difficult customers. They felt impatient waiting for us to pack their food. But I also had patience and put myself in the shoes of a guest what it would be like to have to wait for my food to come for so long. That’s why I went out and asked about their situation to help them feel more comfortable while waiting.

Think Big

When I was A high school student. I have thought that I will try to study hard until I Graduate College so I will get a good job and make a lot of money and open a restaurant business in my country.

Earn Trust

That was about a year ago when I was working at a restaurant in Renton. I am a person who is considered by everyone around me to be an honest and kind person. It was because of those qualities that the restaurant owner let me manage the money when they weren’t there.

One thing I think would be the hardest for you to adopt is Frugality because the money I earn I usually spend on expensive electronics because I have a hobby of buying and experiencing it. Recently I got an Rtx 3090 graphic card at a not cheap price due to covid-19 so factories stopped supplying and that is why those graphic cards became expensive.
