Emoti-Con 2019 - Project Xeno

-
The emoticon for 2019 was amazing! Me and the rest of team Kakushin, the developers of Project Xeno, had went to present our game there. It was a big place and there was food too! When we got there, we were given time to go around and look at other people's projects and development processes. When me and my team went around, we saw many different games, inventions using robotics and even VR! I was saying in my head that the competition was going to outweigh our project. Turns out I was wrong, but I'll get to that later. After the grace period, we were all gathered to sit in the auditorium-like area. We were assigned to make a bridge using the tools assigned to us in a black bag. We had popsicle sticks, strings, tape and etc. Our bridge was fully made of the string and it was very wavy. I doubt anyone would want to travel on the bridge we created. They would probably fall over into the river. Anyways, back to the experience, there was then a period where judges would come around to check our project boards and the game n general. While my team was wandering around looking at other projects, I stayed at the board in case a judge came by. There were a few judges that came by and I had though-roughly explained our project while they played it. Considering you don't really "interact" much with the game, while the dialogue played, I was able to go over some key concepts about our game in that time. Most of the judges that came by played the entire game through and enjoyed the story. I had went over that we had taken a negative perspective of the future and that technology would take over humanity eventually and become self aware. There are a lot of concepts in the game and theoretical physics too. At the end of the judges walking around observing projects, there was a period where we were able to go around and ask some of the professionals about their category of work. The section I went to was the gaming one. I met some game developers and it was exciting since I want to become one when I gain the experience. After that period, there was the award ceremony. Little did we know, that the most entertaining prize would go to us! Project Xeno! Me and the rest of team Kakushin were excited because we had won a trophy and a medal for each of us. A game that we put so much story in and 10% of it was interactive... It was unbelievable, but it happened. It was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed it. The emoticon for 2019 was lit!

WBL Workshop #6 Interview Skills

-
          WBL Workshop #6 was about testing our interviewing skills. First thing that happened was us entering the room without knowing that we were going to be interviewed. So as a student you could say some of us were surprised about it. There were different people interviewing students that took place during this workshop. Students were set at different "stations" of people who would interview you. I was a little confused at first about what the interview would be about and what job we were actually being interviewed for to represent a mock interview. Then I realized that a perfect job for the situation would be something revolving around being a web designer. When it was my turn to be interviewed I wasn't nervous because I had some pre-answers in my head for obvious answers.               During the interview I kept looking toward the top right, for no apparent reason. I feel like I should have been looking at the employe...

CTE Expo Reflection Journal

Image
     The objective of the CTE EXPO was to engage the freshmen into seeing what the Web Design Academy was made of and what were the benefits of joining. It was also to make their interests peak as they could be exposed to these special skills.  To prepare for the CTE EXPO I just ran through looking for my best business attire I possibly had because I knew how important this event was, During the actual event I grabbed freshmen attention by saying, "hello are you interested in learning more about the visual design part of the CTE academy?" I used that line pretty much all the time to get the attention of the freshmen who looked lost or confused. I think what went well was that most of the freshmen, all the ones I met with, had an interest in the subject because of the amount of questions they asked and how detailed their questions were. For next year's CTE EXPO it would be best to realign the table structure because the poster boards of the visual design class were in...

Lab #12 Reflection

-
This lab was fun to learn but a little difficult at first. If you were learning adobe illustrator for the first time and had to do something with it, you would have a lot of trouble if you weren't reading the tutorials or listening to them. At first for me personally it was a little hard trying to figure out what to do. I go to the lab pretty much every day on my free period. Lunch personally is boring for me. Let's get back on topic. I took my time to read the tutorial for adobe illustrator again and absorb what I read. I did the extra reading to scan what I needed to complete the lab and what skills were needed to complete it. Though I wish I can post my work here, I really can't due to the fact it is saved in a pdf file. At first the file was in an .ai file but since I had to submit it in for a grade it was transferred into a pdf file for viewing purposes. It was something we learned from reviewing adobe illustrator. Adobe illustrator wasn't that hard to learn. The b...
