I like to think of myself as a somewhat creative person. My main hobbies are programming, and on occasion, composing/arranging music. I tend to be reserved most of the time, but when I am allowed to be creative, it shines through. I want to be able to make a positive impact on this world using whatever skills I have.
I'm going into Grade 12, and that means I have university soon. I want to develop good academic habits and do my work more, so I can get better marks. Unfortunately, universities seem to care about marks first before people, so a high mark is the only way to ensure I actually get considered as a person instead of a number on a report card.
I enjoy programming (as you might be able to tell from this website), however, I also enjoy working with electronics. This is why I plan to be an electrical engineering major in university. Since the major is still quite competitive, I will train myself to study better both this year and next year.
Out of the three projects we did this semester, I think the film was the best one. It was fun and engaging, and it ended up being absolutely hilarious to watch the final product. In terms of things I could improve, I would probably have refocused the camera in certain shots. I demonstrated learning skills the most during the film project: I set up a document to coordinate filming times and cast roles, allowing us to figure out what to film when.
I am a big believer in simplicity. You'll see that in this website: I use a monochromatic colour scheme, which is the simplest of the basic types of colour scheme. My original plan for my graphic design poster entailed using actual images to deliver the message, which unfortunately were not allowed. This entire website repeats the same basic layout for most of the content.
This website is also a basic demonstration of the principles of composition in graphic design. Contrast is applied in the navigation bar and footer: they have a different background colour to distinguish them from the rest of the site. Repetition is applied in the reuse of this image-header-text "card" throughout the site, though with alternating sides to add visual interest. Alignment is applied in the positioning of these cards: the center is exactly in the midpoint of the page. Proximity is demonstrated in the placing of relevant images near their context.
