Design+personae.

 

Greetings and salutations to you. I am Chris, a student. Your student, at Victoria University, School of Design, Wellington, and this, well this is me.

It's said that a picture "speaks a thousand words"  sadly, this blog post doesn't so I shall tell you about myself.  As I have stated my name is Chris(Christopher) and I'm a half-blooded Filipino/ English mix, who's studying  towards a Bachelors of Design Innovation with the intentions of becoming a media design student at Victoria University. 

Why media design? Why indeed...

Although these images barely scratch the surface of my collection of conceptual books, these also contribute to the reason why. Not going to lie, I have a video game and cartoon addiction which has basically been the biggest influence on my desire purse the path of  a media designer, I'm basically a closet geek. In year nine art, I had the content to draw using characters I had viewed and  played as in the three dimensional and two dimensional worlds as base themes for my work, mainly revolving around star wars and lord of the rings.

Since studying art in year nine though to thirteen were I split off from fine arts into the disciplinary of graphic design, alongside art history which began in year  twelve broadened my interest, not in video games, but execution of art and design behind the game, behind the animation, as well as various movements and techniques like Impressionism,  the renaissance and modernism via, Bauhaus.

Thus saying, with the basic knowledge that I had gained in college, to the advance I aim to absorb in university, I hope to (as stated) become a media designer, who will hopefully pursue a PhD in computer graphic design and with luck, end up in the entertainment design industry or something similar and exciting.
