The importance of personal project

IDEA: HALL SCREENS PROJECT

In the begginig of the quarter our second year graphic design student Anthony Hernandez posted in slack: “Just wanted to share that I will be in charge of the screens on the floor for my work study this coming quarter. If you have some projects you did for the program you are proud of and would like to possibly see on those screens please message me PRIVATELY”.

In 4 weeks after that I was finally brave enough to suggest my project to Anthony.

THE IDEA:

I have a small collections of very delicious quotes made by our professors. The idea was very simple – to post them on the screens.


SKILLS:

  1. Soft skills: not to be afraid of my ideas and be ready to share.
  2. Composition skills + working in graphic software.
  3. Motion design. The idea is to make part of the images in After Effects.
  4. I’m so in love with the school and want to tell about it different ways.
  5. Have fun!

All these things can help me in building my portfolio as well as building a network and building strong soft and hard skills (!).

VISUAL PART:

First ideas, Anthony helped a lot to find a direction:

My collection:

  • I knoooow! Jason
  • Do you know your own propensity for sloth? Erik
  • Just ask! Marc
  • I don’t know. Could be … Jill
  • No way, never, ever! Jason
  • Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Jason
  • Fantaastic. Erik
  • Pretty great, haa. Jason
  • Get on that pony and ride. Jason
  • You know I’m always silently judging you? Erik
