Month: October 2022

Right now, I still don’t have too much life experience, but I have a few stories that I also want to tell everyone about my life.
When I’m still in Viet Nam, I used to be a boy who was always self-conscious about his appearance, and because of that, I have very few friends. I always like to wear oversized clothes even when I wear a school uniform, I didn’t stand out at all, but until I went to college that things gradually changed. At that time, I tried to make friends with the people in my class, for a shy person like me this was really difficult. I’m lucky to have made a group of friends, but one thing I didn’t know from them is that my friends are underground rappers. When I found out, I was surprised, because someone like me can make friends with such people and I am very happy about it. They taught me a lot from changing myself, after only one year I changed completely and even participated in composing music with my friends, at that time my other classmates and my high school friends started contacting me more and my making friends also became a lot easier. I find that only good and talented people attract each other and easily make friends with anyone on them level. At that time, I tried to study and improve myself more, I learned some more musical instruments and gradually started to like graphic design, but my friends and I were pursuing management at a university in Vietnam, not design.
About half a year later, my family told me that we were going to the US to live with my grandparents, I was very sad, I had to leave my friends, give up what I had, what I did, to come to America and start over. By 2019, the covid pandemic started, also the time when I fell into a severe depression, I received my psychology degree while in Vietnam, so I know my current situation well. Until I called a friend of mine to tell her about my current situation, she gave me advice and motivation that “try to overcome it by setting future goals for yourself like what I used to do before, then I will find new friends, things that would be very good and very cool”. Since then, I decided to pursue design, and i know my English is still not good, my pronunciation is not standard I’m also quite self-conscious about it. But it’s okay, I’ll get through these things too, it’s important not to give up.

This is my new project. My group’s topic is pacific northwest birds, and and I chose Steller’s Jay for my project.

Hi guys, I’m Kiet Lam, I’m still a student in the graphic design program at the Seattle Central Colleges. I know many current students already have some companies to look up to and pursue after completing the course, you guys worked so hard to be able to follow your dreams and be able to follow those dream companies. But not for me, because I see strengths in different companies, I can develop myself anywhere. I really like the comfortable, and positive working environment, and projects that can bring me more exposure to work and other employees so that I can develop and work better.
I used to be an Amazon employee, I also used to think that after graduating I would interview to work for Amazon in a design position, but the workspace at Amazon is a bit stuffy, and there are a few issues that I don’t like, so I’ll rethink my decision.
In addition, I also have a friend who is currently working at Microsoft, he told me about his job and some of the benefits that employees receive from the company. I am quite interested in the things he told me, and I think I will also try my hand at this company in the future.
In short, I also need to try to learn and hone my skills so that I can more easily pursue my dreams.

This is an AR app about astronomy, It helps us to see the stars and constellations in the sky. In addition, this application also tells us all the information about the constellations or stars that we want. This is a very interesting app and I love it.

• I have a fondness for astronauts, so I designed this poster using adobe photoshop. Next, I cropped and made an iron color-changing video for my poster. Then I went to youtube and picked a suitable piece of music and put it in. I finally used Eyejack to finish it.
• To be able to experience this work, you need to download Eyejack software to your phone. Then you will go to the camera part of the software and scan the QR code below. After scanning the QR code you can redirect your phone to my photo and enjoy

I have a love for animals in nature, so I chose this theme
I initially created mountains, then clouds and trees to create a natural landscape. Next I added some animals like horse, wolf, fox, and 3 rabbits. Next I set them to move to make the animals more lively.

In the beginning, I used the poster I had made earlier and changed the colors, I then stitched the pictures together to create the clip. Next, I went to youtube to choose sheet music for myself, and I used “Eyejack” to create this clip. I used this poster as the official image, next I saved my clip and the music I chose.
