Other Categories

Since I'm short on time and mental capabilities, this will be a shorter blog post, my apologies.

Graphic Design has many categories that branch into animation and other art fields. For example, Steve Jobs worked at Pixar and moved on to Apple. He studied electronics and computer sciences. Even if I was to go a different route and not work for Pixar, I could go to college and study graphic design, computer programming to work on interface design, architecture and work on houses, buildings or even landscape, or photography and travel the world. Scratch that. Photography is such a high growing topic that it would be close to impossible to make it instead of breaking. My father is an architect, and it never hurts to continue the family path! But, I feel like that is his own path meant to be traveled alone. I should either follow my own path in another direction or maybe cover a different field of architecture. Even engineering has its own way of slipping into the topic of design. I could design blueprints for major engineering processes or even plot out the development of a new computer system; interesting!

Mr. Pinza said earlier this week that it's good to dip into multiple waters and have a sense of a bit of everything, that's what some major businesses like these days. I thought again of Jobs and how he later on left to start a new multibillion dollar company. I feel if I was to ever see my limitations crumbling, that I should be able to fall back or even branch off of what i studied in college. Taking economics or accounting or even different fields of engineering would have an interesting mix of flavors for a final solution, which in return could be the best decision I would have ever made! With the love for math, art and now engineering, my path may have many doors waiting to be opened. To the best of my knowledge, the best combination of those three topics mainly would be some form of computer programming/art job. And going back to previous topics, that is the basic definition of computer animation/storyline! Meaning, Pixar may actually be in the near future if I play my cards correctly.
