I believe that each individual person can make a difference for the future. We all live in our own little bubbles; our own realities of how we want to create the future. Each of these bubbles play a part in the world. They may shine different colors, or have different things going on inside. Some bubbles might be bigger or smaller then others, but they all should be treated equal because they all play a big part in life. There will be struggles in life for everybody, but we must fight through it so we can become stronger and our bubbles won't pop. We need to be encouraged to do what is right, and be lifted up. Bubbles float higher and higher with no limits on where to go, or have anyone to tell them how to float. Even though each bubble is different, they still work together to float towards a brighter future. I have my own bubble in this world, and I am going to make it count. My bubble will help to encourage others to blow new bubbles for the ones that have popped. If I am bumped by other bubbles, I have to make sure that my bubble doesn't go off my destination. The future of my bubble is at my fingertips. My poster shows each individual bubble floating towards a light to escape the dark emptiness of space. Each of the bubbles have a unique futuristic city going about it's everyday life in it's own little space. I tried to paint them so that they look clean, bright, and shiny. My vision was to make people look at this picture and think, "I want my future to look like that!" I thought that it would be neat to have a robot hand representing my hand holding my own future.

Through all of the training and experience I have gained in graphic design, the most important thing I was always taught is to keep advertising simple, easy to read and to leave an impression to the people who see my work. I have studied many advertisements to understand what makes them effective or not. My poster design is intended to incorporate the visual elements of a man and woman with sparkling ideas seeing eye to eye and sharing ideas in order to create a world of endless ideas and to communicate them globally. The background colors of black fading into gray are meant to portray the end of yesterday's era which fade and break into a futuristic element shown by the green grid design, which I have often seen as a means to suggest a futuristic flavor. Using a globe made up of the simple lines and incorporating the colors of dawn give a feel of a "logo" with a star that shows the idea(s) of the man and woman having come together. The wave lines are to show these ideas being projected globally. The stars in the heads of the people display the sparkling ideas while the dotted line shows them seeing eye to eye. Auras around each person suggest the generating vibes of energy, creativity and enthusiasm to make tomorrow possible and continue on. The type style "You can create" is reminiscent of an older but futuristic font while "Tomorrow" uses a LED style to show a digital flavor suggestive of the future trends and creations and the direction of their evolution. Posters and billboards are meant to target and capture the attention of a certain audience and get the point across as quickly and effectively as possible. My purpose of this design was based on this concept and incorporates many elements with the futuristic flavor that shouts, "You can create tomorrow."

Creating art starts with just drawing little doodles and can explode into anything you can think of. It is an amazing thought to think that you can create something from just a blank piece of paper, something that would have never existed without you making it. Tomorrow is just another day to create that art, the art that only you can make. This poster is to show that anything can be made just from the start of doodling on a little paper, and the boundless possibility's that come and take hold while creating the next great thing, tomorrow...

In this piece, l've placed some subtle symbols such as the moon in the night for the coming of tomorrow, with arrows at the feet of the person to show which way you can go; its not always clear and it can take you anywhere, you just have to keep going with it. From there, a robot looming over symbolises the future as it grows and comes forward. A monster show a strange thing to come, and a little little tree that promises to grow into something big.

I wish to have a career in game design. Because when I was young there was only two thing to do around the house. Make art and play video games. After awhile I got better and better in art and have always loved video games. So combining the two sounds like the best thing to do. So I Hope to become one of the people that create the things that I loves. From the idea of the game to every aspect of it, making some thing that I love and a lot of other people will love too.

You can create tomorrow and it can be any kind of tommorrow you want it to be.
