Field Trip Response

I think the field trip to Swanson-Russell and RoundScapes got me thinking about where I really want to go with my designs and what type of company I could see myself working with as a career. I enjoyed different things from each company. Swanson-Russell was more of a cubicle with some freedom type of atmosphere I felt while RoundScapes was a much more laid back atmosphere. Both worked with well-known clients. RoundScapes was more focused on web design than print design like Swanson-Russell. I don't know anything about web design but after watching their 2010 Reel, it's something I might want to explore more. 

It was so beneficial to get to learn about how hard they work on projects and what all really goes into getting it the way they want. It's a way better learning experience when you can go visit people who are in the careers you want to have someday. They can teach you about what books or articles don't tell you. Sometimes when we look at a design, it seems like look so simple to do; but there is always more than we think that goes into getting the finished product. 

As far as what I want to do when I graduate with my design degree, I would like to work with a photographer that does weddings, senior pictures, events, etc., and be able to work with retouching and bringing in new ideas for design. I'd love to be able to go on site with the photographer as he/she takes the pictures and maybe act as an assistant as well. I know that there is still so much I can do with designs/photos that I haven't learned yet but I want to be able to push myself so that I am not only doing what is safe, but what is challenging and goes outside the lines.

I chose to illustrate Jason Derulo as my Celebrity Portrait because I have a passion for music and love to watch the type of dance he does. He is not only musically talented but has some of the most talented dance choreography. His music is the type that makes people want to get up and dance and have a good time but he also has some slower, more intimate songs as well.
