So, it's time. I just finished my last class in the AIO, Portfolio. It was the perfect closure to put together all my creations within my AIO learning trip, and it came out really good. I surprise myself, I had more than I thought and I really learned and tweaked my own design style. For now, my Portfolio site can be found at Katabolic Designs temporary address. I hope that I begin the new year with a home of its own for this website, as I hope it will bring on a new phase in my professional life (this time as a Web Designer).
Changes are what's cooking in my pot, I also have to place in halt my prospect project of beginning a Masters in Animation and FX in the Academy of Art. I planned to begin that one in Spring, but I have recently discovered that I am expecting, and my second child is due in Summer... I don't want gaps in the middle of my projects, so I'll wait until Fall/Winter next year to launch myself in that mission... So right now I'll have three focuses: Katabolic Designs, The Green Crew, and my family. Just with that I've got quite a handful!
I'm glad I finished the Web Design Diploma in the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Online Division. It truly honed my skills, putting me up-to-date with the latest technologies, making me more marketable and allowing me to actually match my art with computers. I hope that this is the big investment that will be the key to a bright future. I strongly feel that what my BSBA and MBA didn't do for me, this simple diploma will. Why? Because it is in a field that I know I like, and that I know will take me to different artsy/creative paths. I feel it is the beginning of a big, beautiful journey in which I will work with real purpose. That alone takes my breath away.
May God bless my new beginning.
