A little insight into how my mind works

WEEK 1 - Spring 2007

Hi there! If you've discovered this, you're probably from the Art Institute of Tampa:  CS2202to be exact. My name is Jonathan Holmes and I come from Orlando, where I've lived for most of my life. I just recently moved into the Grande Oasis condominiums with my fiancee Elizabeth, who also attends AI/TA majoring in interior design. I myself am majoring in media art & animation for the time being, using MAA as a tool to improve my drawing portfolio for game art & design. Some of my background includes working with the now-liquidated Westwood Studios on Command & Conquer: Renegade in 2002 as a game level designer, along with 10 years of level design experience. I've also had five years of experience with 3D Studio Max 7 and 8 and approximately as many with Photoshop 7. I'm proficient in the digital arts but love to learn more about my trade! I take suggestions and criticism with pride and enjoy having my work critiqued by others.

Since this is a class blog, I should start explaining my experiences with computer basics today. I felt highly engaged and motivated in class due to Carmen's excellent teaching and ability to draw my attention into focus.  I'm happy that I'm finding a place in AI that fits my personality and style!

The only real drawback to the class so far was the initial lecture outlining the class priorities and schedule for submission of schoolwork. I find it difficult to fix my attention on drawn out lectures required by the school, but at the same time I recognize their necessity for my educational goals.

As for my most affirming moment in the class? It's hard to say so far. I haven't really learned anything new yet, although I anticipate that will change soon!
