Journal Entry 2

Nothing really special happened in the pst 24 hours I guess. It was a pretty busy day though.I ended up getting to school just before the bell rang because I fell back asleep after originally getting up and had to get all ready in five minutes. I ended up getting out of school at around 2:30 which gave me half an hour before I had to go to work so I made a quick dinner and left to work. Work was pretty slow until around 5 when the place just got packed. I'm a bus boy by the way. After work ended at seven, I had to change into my soccer clothes and rush to practice at 7:30. Practice was pretty fun, until mid way through, a coyote decided to stroll on through the field like it owned the place. After that, practice just resumed normally and at 9:45, I finally made it home. Luckily, I didn't have any homework so I was able to get to sleep at a decent time.

Journal Entry 1

Yesterday was a very long day. After school I had work immediately after until 7:00. After work, I had to rush home, change and hop back in the car and drive up to CCV for soccer practice at 7:30. When that was finally over at around 9:30, I went back home to eat and finish homework before going to bed at around midnight. Because of the night's chaos, this morning didn't go as well as planned. I woke up fne at my regular time, 6:30, but after taking a shower I decided to lay back down for a little before eating and getting ready. Unfortunately, the qick lie down turned into a long nap. Luckily I was able to wake myself up at 7:20, 5 minutes before I usually go to school. Without breakfast,  I was lucky enough to make it to school on time.

Super Powers

If I could have any super power I want, I would choose the power to control time because I'd never not get enough sleep, I'd never be late, and I'd be able to fix anything that happened in the past .

Fast Food

To be honest, I can't even remember the last time I've had fast food so I'd have to guess like a month or two ago which was probably a cheeseburger and fries from In n' Out or BK.

Graphic Design Careers

In graphic design, there are many different career paths to choose from depending on your area of expertise and passion. On the contrary to many people’s beliefs, graphic design isn’t only just working in Photoshop or Illustrator. There are all different variations like a Flash designer for a website and being able to code everything properly to make it run easy and smooth. Also careers in multimedia and even regular illustrations on paper can be considered graphic design and, of course, finally, there is the everyday Photoshop and Illustrator magician varying anywhere from logo design, branding design, photo editing, and web designs.
For many, the idea of Flash design is relatively new. This Macromedia product has only recently made its way out onto the market. It’s a great well-rounded tool for web design easy for beginners to understand and complicated enough to fulfill the wishes of any expert designer. Flash is the is the best way to create interactive and creative websites, using photos in vector format so they can be scaled up or down without losing any quality. Flash designers are able to create and customize dozens of unique effects including text, navigation animation, video and audio in order to create interactive movies on the web. One big example of this is Youtube, the largest video sharing site in the world. If you plan on being a Flash designer it’s necessary that you have a good idea into the internet, HTML and the basics of web design. Also a training course to get started in Flash, found at many media schools around the world is the best way to start off.
Another popular career is photo editing of whom the designers are referred to as “Photoshop Gurus.” In photo editing, designers have the ability to take digital photos and images and manipulate, crop, color correct and do anything in an endless amount of possible effects. Many people probably have heard of these types of designers. Many photo editors are the people who take family portraits and then edit then correcting any mistakes in the photo.
A graphic design career that you may not even have considered was graphic design is photography. Photography is more than just taking pictures. Photographers have to know the ins and outs of many different programs on both the computer and the camera itself. Digital photography goes hand in hand with graphic design work flow because the output is already in a digital format. So you will often have a photographer taking shots for a graphic designer, who will work with the digital files directly.
Finally, the last graphic design career I’m going to talk about is web design. Most of the time, web designers work has the largest audience, but it’s commonly overlooked. Web designers design everything you see on a web page. This includes the layout, text, and other graphics. They get to design the look and feel of a website.All of this involves skill and training in computer graphics, graphic design, and in the latest in computer and web technology.
