Personal Review of the year.

I think the main part that I have enjoyed about my 1st year and uni is how much we can socialise with each other. Instead of just sitting in a classroom like at school and college, We go out into Leicester to draw with each other. We also communicate through Facebook to help with all of our work. I have also enjoyed learning new things such as everything to do with 3D Studio Max and I have also learned so much about drawing.

At the beginning of the year, I struggled with the work load. The transition from college to university was very hard for me and I quickly fell behind with my work. I therefore, had a lot of work to do during the christmas holidays. I then swore to myself that I would try and keep up woth my work all the time and in semester two, I didnt have nearly as much work to do during the Easter holidays. I also feel like I havent learned enough to do with 3D Studio Max as I feel like we were required to learn a lot of information in a small space of time and I feel like I am missing a lot of this information.

To help me to improve on my skills and so that I dont forget everything I have learned, I will practice over the summer. I need to practice on my 3D work for definate, especially texturing. I also need to work on colour theory as I am always afraid of using colour in my drawings and I think this is also why I struggle with texturing. Finally, I will try to find out as much information about 3D studio Max as possible including such small things as shortcuts to shorten the time that it takes me to create something.

I really do hope that I pass my 1st year at university as I really do want to get a career that I enjoy doing. The main reason why i went to university is because I dont want to be stuck in a dead-end job, doing the same thing every day for the rest of my life. This is why i aspire to be a game artist as there is a new challenge every day.
