Week 8 Reading and Writing

Overall, I think the reading and writing assignments are working well for me. I think my main issue is making the time early in the week for the reading, but when I'm able to I really enjoy the assignments and have fun with them. I was worried about my creative abilities regarding the story retellings before beginning the class but that's probably been my favorite part so far. I'm also happy with the current layout of my website and blog.

I think my project is also going fairly well - I've only completed my introduction but I have a plan for where it's going to go and I think it's feasible.

My favorite photo is actually the one I'm using on my home page for my storybook. I love the illustrated style and all the elements of Kali that it includes.

Looking forward, I think I need to take this upcoming long weekend to work ahead so that I don't fall behind as the semester speeds up. Otherwise, I think I'm in good shape!

Introduction to an Illustrator

Hello! I am a junior Advertising major with a minor in Religious Studies. Still feels weird to type "junior"–it's hard to believe I'm halfway done! I began OU as an International Studies major with a focus on China, but I lacked some crucial things for my career path: I hate politics and I'm very bad at Mandarin. Although China still holds a special place in my heart , I decided to pivot into graphic design. I took a crash course in Adobe Creative Suite at the beginning of last year and loved every second of it. Soon, some friends started asking me to do commission work for them. One thing led to another, and I learned I liked illustrating more than graphic design and strategy. Even though I'm still studying Advertising in the hope of getting a decent job when I graduate, I currently work as a freelance illustrator and want to continue doing so into the foreseeable future.

Week 3 Story: The Unspeakable Name

Thousands and thousands of years ago, a princess was born. And as she grew, her mother told her lots of stories. Stories about riches and kings and wars. One night, she told the princess a new story: a legend that there exists a secret, unspeakable name that has the power to create life. The princess was curious and asked her mother if she could find it and create friends for herself. Her mother chuckled and reminded her it was only a legend. When her mother died years later, the princess became queen. Although she enjoyed the crown, she found many parts of her job tedious and unimportant. One day, during a particularly boring meeting, the queen was on the verge of falling asleep when one of her advisors mentioned a piece of paper with a single word. It had been found in a tomb miles away and the discoverers tried with all their might to speak the word with no luck. The princess demanded that it be brought to her. The queen remembered the childhood story of the unspeakable name and
