PERT CHART

contacting panel of experts

For my three panel of experts, I was thinking of asking someone from the department of public works, municipal transportation agency, and an graffiti artist. I already have some people in mind for the graffiti vandal. I'm still waiting to hear back from the other two by email. Here are some links that will take you to Muni and dpw's main websites.

The Muni website wasn't very helpful with gathering information for my research. When searching with key words 

on the site. A few things show up but barely enough information to use. The dpw was a lot more useful, it provided

background information about the department and what they are trying to accomplish as a community volunteer group.

While I wait for these groups to email me back with more information. I will being at the library trying to find some books

that might give some info on not only graffiti in general but bus tags/graffiti/vandalism.

final timeline

So here is my final version of the timeline. I slightly changed a few things from the previous post. I originally wanted to add either the muni logo or an actual muni bus. But I thought it might make the design too busy. Making it difficult to read the actual information. I think the simplicity of the design makes its more appealing. 

timeline

not completely done with the timeline but here's what I have so far. I think i might want to add a background image of a muni bus? not sure yet, still working on it.

BIO/PROFILE/INTRO

1) Who are YOU? (Your DAI Major Study/Emphasis/Concentration; Interests; etc…)

- This is my 5th year at San Francisco State University. Hopefully this will be my last class I need to take in order to graduate. My concentration was visual communications but I decided to switch to interdisciplinary instead.

2) What Inspires/”WOWs” YOU?

-As a designer I take my inspirations come from many different things. Past, present, future, nature, people's behavior, friends, family, etc. I'm a man of few words, constantly observing things. Analyzing things in my head, creating, improving, and imaging new concepts and ideas. I am easily entertained, taking joy from the simple things in life.

3) Who, or What are your influences?

- One huge influence in my life not only as a designer but as an artists is from my good friend Brenton. He is a very creative and unique individual. Always expressing his thoughts and feelings through his art work. After meeting Brent my views on art dramatically changed in such a positive way. Allowing me to see things that I wouldn't normally see, pushing me to improve as an arist and as a person. He has had such a huge impact on my life because of his positive attitude and his creativity.

4) What is your Vision or HOPE in your life(time)? (academically; professionally; and/or socially)

One important goal that I'm determined to accomplish is to have a successful career doing something that I love to do. What is the point of doing something if you're not passionate about it. I originally planned on majoring in business, mostly because of my grandma. But I knew that it wasn't right for me. I always loved art and being creative so I changed my major to graphic design.

5) Post an Image(s) that Best represents YOU and/or Your Vision(s)
