HMWK #3

This was a fun article to read. I can totally relate to John Hoke's way of processing and listening to people by way of doodling. I am not sure why this makes me pay attention more, rather than just keeping my eyes on people. I think that honing in on something makes me more alert. I appreciate that Hoke did not allow his disability of dyslexia to set him back and not succeed at anything. He didn't see it as a burden, but a gift. Most people would look down on what they had, rather than flipping the script and finding another way to do something you probably had no idea you could do or be good at. Doodling is his way of communicating. I love that! His perspective was super positive.  He took what he loved to do and made a career out of it. Always thinking about the next best thing. I think that a lot of people's best inventions tend to stem from either what they love to do or how they can make something better. He even went as far as reaching out to Nike, which I think was super bold.  What was also interesting is the process by which he is able to manage 1000 people. In this article, Hoke was portrayed as an engaging boss, who didn't sit behind a desk but engaged with his employees. He even encouraged their creativity, to explore their imaginations. He described it as going down to the "atom." That is almost like think and create until there is nothing left. For some, that may be exhausting, but for a graphic designer, it is like being in a candy shop, I'm sure. I really enjoyed this article and reading about how someone creates and pushes others to do so as well.

What is your previous computer experience? I have used computers through most of my academic career as well as vocation, mainly using Microsoft word. What do you hope to get out of this class? I honestly hope to learn more about computer graphics, in order to link this knowledge with Photography. I also would love to take my knowledge and teach youth in inner cities as an outlet for them. What is your experience with Photoshop and Illustrator? I do not have any experience in either one. This is one thing I am hoping to get at least the basics down.  Do you have a computer at home? If so dose it have Photoshop and Illustrator? Yes and no I do not have either on my computer Do you use a  Mac  or PC? I use Mac What do you hope to do with your major? I want to work for myself as well as collaborate with inner city youth programs to give youth exposure on a subject that is not typically provided in school. Who is your favorite artist? I do not have a favorite...

Shay is an average=, yet optimistic 18 area old who always had a heart for culinary. Since she was younger, her dream was to grow up and attend LeCordon Bleu in Paris, France, which is an extremely hard school to get accepted. Although she knows there is a slim chance that she will get in, She ambitiously sends in her college application and portfolio of gourmet meals. The trouble is, is that anything that Shay touches ends up on fire or undercooked. You've guessed it! Shay can't cook. She sends in photos she found from Google. Even though being a chef has always been a dream, but culinary is far from one of her strengths.
