Week 2 EOC- My Demograph

My demograph is generation Y. This means I was born between 1979 and 1994. Our book has some characteristics that describe generation Y. First is that we are impatient. I believe this to be true. We have fast food, fast cars and high speed internet. I am very annoyed when a web page does not load within ten seconds. So much of the things we grew up with are automated, premade and prepackaged. Next is family-oriented, this describes me also. My family is very important to me and I hope to have children of my own one day. Inquisitive is our next characteristic, again is true about me. I always want to know more. One my favorite TV stations is the science channel. I feel I am opinionated, the next characteristic, I think for myself and am not always easily swayed. Diversity is another part of generation Y for which I fit. We are supposed to be good time-managers; this describes me some of the time. I can be quite the procrastinator. Generation is supposed to be “street smart”, which I believe to be, but I know many of my peers who are not. Last is connected, which I definitely am, I always have my cell phone on me which has my email, facebook, bank, music, books, address, and phonebook all on hand all the time. I check these things every day, multiple times for some.

EOC Week 2- Favorite Fast Food

When I was growing up my favorite fast food was McDonald’s. My mom was a teacher at the school I went to for elementary and junior high. We rode to and from school everyday together. My mom would drive through before school. I loved Egg Mcmuffins with hash browns and orange juice. My mom would try to make them at home for me but they were not the same. After school we would sometimes go through and get me chicken nugget meals or cheese burger meals. Whenever the monopoly game was going on we went much more often. That marketing worked well on me.

Week 1 EOC

I am an aspiring Web designer with a varied skill set. I am in my final year of my web design degree from The Art Institute of Las Vegas. My interest in media arts began with my interest in skateboarding. I began editing video to try to advance myself in the Las Vegas skateboarding scene. This interest got me my first sponsorship. I went on to help produce a skate video that I starred in, we sold this video in three states in the southwest. Skateboarding fueled my interest in graphics, web designed and video production. From all of this I settled into web design because i found that all of my strong points could be utilized. I am now very skilled in many graphics programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Dreamweaver. I am also knowledgable about program languages such as HTML, CSS, javascript and Actionscript. I hope go on to create great design for others and possibly make my way into the skateboarding industry.
