Week 1 EOC: My Voice

I am a graphic artists who specializes in making animations be it for comics, cartoons, or even CGI characters. I can make character designs based on what my client’s specifications. I accommodate my client as much as I am able and offering a few alternatives for when something may not be translated from words to the canvas. I can create human characters, and animals. I am able to create simple backgrounds such as forests and jungles, city skypes, and some underwater sense.  I am well versed in Photoshop from adding colors to drawings made on the program or scanned drawings. I can add shadows to the appropriate areas, from the light sores I place or by following the instructions of my client. I am versed in blending color to add a higher richer dimension to the work of art giving it more life and believability of movement and weight.  I am also able to use both Photoshop and ToonBoom to give movement to a character and be able to move and interact with in its world. I can make movement from a simple walk to interacting with another character complete with a moving background. As well as keeping a clear consistent color palate. I can also manipulate colors to existing images from restoring old photos and damaged images, to changing the stance and look of a person or character. If the model in an image is standing in a strange angle, I am able to warp the image to a more desirable stance with in its limits and not distorting the image.  If you have a photo of your loved one that needs to get fixed up from having a hole or a bend down the middle or taking the wrinkles from being folded for a long time I can take all of these off the image for you.

                I can add sound to animated clips with the use of combined or individual use of the Audition and Premier programs. I can recreate or record a large variety of sounds to add to the motion clip to give it a much more immersive experience. I am also able to create a web page in which to publish it from making workable buttons, movement, and additional pages.

Week 1 EOC: Great Customer Service

One evening my friends and I decided to have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory inside Cesars Palace. The food there was phenomenal as it always is. We had a full course meal a salad, soup, whine, and a dessert of their signature cheesecakes.  The meal was delectable getting to spend time with good company and great food is always a good evening. Once it came time to order the dessert I chose a Hershey’s Chocolate cheesecake. Once our desserts were brought out, I began eating my wonderful tasting cheesecake when I realized I was eating something that felt like paper. I told my friend about how I believed I was eating paper, and like any good friends would do, they promptly called me crazy and said it was probably a cracker type layer between the cakes. I began to agree with them and began to eat my cake. After I had, a few more bites I had my friend take a bite and to his dismay, he realized that I was indeed eating paper. Once I saw our waiter, I called him over and explained to him how I believe I was eating paper.  He looked a little skeptical but he said to wait for a few minutes while he found the manager. After a few minutes went by the waiter returned with the manager. The manager asked what was wrong and I explained to him the situation, and he had me show him, so I grabbed my fork, removed the top layer of the cake, and reviled the paper and it looked like a baking sheet. The manager promptly apologized and said I could pick another slice of cake and it was going to be taken off the bill. After we had finished our meal, the check was brought out to us by the manager, and he told us our entire meal was taken care of, due to us having to be faced with an issue with our food. He was very apologetic and went beyond what we were expecting. Therefore, they gained customers for life and I recommend them to everyone.
