In a sports term, Cinderella teams are referred to situations in which competitors achieve far greater success than what would be expected. It has been used as a way of saying a fairy tale run ranging from March Madness upset, Tennis Grand Slam upset or even the 2021 Michigan Wolverines football season coming from a 2020 disappointing season. The former drifter Colonel Sanders is an example of a Cinderella story to create the KFC food chain at an age most people would just retire.
I have gone through or learned several Cinderella Stories. The 2008 recession, we had to relocate to Connecticut, but we moved back to Michigan a year after. I had an average SAT score, but I was accepted by the University of Michigan. I was a backup high school tennis player my freshman year, but I became the captain of the tennis team during my senior high school year and played a huge significant role as a starting lineup during my sophomore to senior campaign. I was wondering what I should do as a Stamps student for the first two years, but I decided to major in Graphic Design. I want to use the poster design series to tell my most recent Cinderella story. The poster design series should illustrate what makes me decide to be a graphic designer? Provide examples on some of the failure shameful interview experiences with graphic design companies? What triggers me to become the graphic designer that I currently am?

The ultimate dream of a football or basketball college player is to enroll in the NFL or NBA. The moment of the announcement is a dream come true. In general, rookie NFL or NBA players will be welcomed by the key players of the team such as Lebron James or Tom Brady. However, what about a future designer being welcomed for a portfolio presentation during the job interview? I will consider the Kellogg cereal box design to be my reference since my first portfolio presentation was with Simmons Foods, a food manufacturing company that supplies wholesale and retail products. I remembered the interview experience with Simmons Foods when the interviewers mentioned: “Do you have any designs or work that is advertising or technical based?” I was like a deer staring at the bright light and could not understand the expectations. After my summer’s graphic design internship with Cochrane Supply and Engineering, I realized why Simmons Foods asked the question and why I did not meet the expectation. I will always use a cereal box to be a reference on the design of lineweight and typography. Every time I want to do a graphic technical design project, the cereal box will be the one to look after. I will ask two key questions for my technical advertisement design poster. Should my technical design be a reference to help my future career? Should I put the images of the professors, coaches, teachers, and friends on the poster if I decide to design with reference to a hero-based movie? Most pianists have a different type of expression or emotions while performing a piece based on the rhythm or tone. Styles of pianists can be the hand eye coordination or even show frustration on the same repetitive mistake. One would say: “How can I correct it?” “What is a strategy to have the memory of the progress?” “Is there any method?”
Pianists themselves have unusual habits to create it as an art. An example of a famous classical pianist playing the Baroque Period that my piano teacher always told me is a pianist who will always enjoy and even bring out the emotions. The first famous pianist she introduced me to from the audio recording and the video was Canadian Classical Pianist Glenn Gould. Glenn Gould said: "The justification of art is the internal combustion it ignites in the hearts of men and not its shallow, externalized, public manifestations. The purpose of art is not the release of a momentary ejection of adrenaline but is, rather, the gradual, lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity.” Glenn Gould was wide renown on “ often hummed or sang while he played, and his audio engineers were not always able to exclude his voice from recordings. Gould claimed that his singing was unconscious and increased in proportion to his inability to produce his intended interpretation on a given piano. It is likely that the habit originated in his having been taught by his mother to "sing everything that he played", as his biographer Kevin Bazzana wrote. This became "an unbreakable (and notorious) habit".[44] Some of Gould's recordings were severely criticized because of this background "vocalizing". (Link from Glenn Gould - Wikipedia) Poster archives should even show the journeyman series of me depicting my past based on my experiences as an intern at Cochrane Supply and Engineering, a camp counselor at Camp Nashoba North, and a former product design student before decided to become a graphic designer. Hand gestures and the clothing show the design of a personality. Maybe in my journeyman series will be a title known as "Miracle by Design" as I will definitely hire a professional photographer or a close friend of mine who is a photographer to help me photograph my facial expressions and structure. A wallpaper athlete is an example of showing the gestures of my past history as a journeyman
Depicting my idea as a journeyman, I really love how sequence movies like Mission Impossible or Indiana Jones show an example of simplicity to create the people who impacted my life. A sequence movie should be like a prequel or a sequel to a certain plot, and as a journeyman designer, my goal is to design a precise poster that show the series of a sequel of events
Scales, Chords, Arpeggios, & Cadences is the first Piano Book my former piano teacher wanted me to practice before practicing my main piece. I always have the pleasure of feeling warm and comfortable to know the history of these key pieces before playing my main pieces. (What if there type of exercise recommended to play before the piece? How did the design of the book itself become the most popular book for every single pianist?) I grew up playing this book as a method to enjoy the melody in a certain fashion and appreciate why this book is a must play before I play my main piece.
Most guys in my high school or middle school hate Taylor Swift. I honestly don’t know why because I just love her songs and the focus of the topic. Many people say celebrities are invisible, but like designers, celebrities are widely criticized by their music genre or their topic. I was between choosing the Miley Cyrus journeyman series and Taylor Swift journeyman series because their music is just a forever icon. However, I humbly chose Taylor Swift just because one criticism from Kanye West in Award ceremony has really glued her to be a famous pop star and a fan favorite. I too was a trigger when I had that same exact encounter in the product design field on the criticism of peers on my designs. I made the hardest decision that time. After learning my hidden gem in graphic design and my unsatisfactory learning from product design, I said farewell to product design and made myself to head the next journey to be a graphic designer.
Growing up with old school rap songs, Eminem has given me one of the key reasons why I love the song, because the image of the album. Recovery by Julian Alexander really stood out to me because it depicts a stardom of the now famous hip hop rapper Eminem on his positive changes and this album has shown that I too can show positive changes as I ente myself to be a journeyman designer
How simple, how precise, and how elegant a crisp dollar bill is showing a work of art. Art as a graphic designer can be defined how less busy a piece is. As a Taiwanese American designer, my goal for the senior project is to research famous graphic designers that are technically based. Interviewed by Simmons Foods experience has helped me ignite my desire to step into a technically based graphic design company. Every time I see a cereal box, a magazine, and many other arenas helped me to keep improving my design skills both in my internship experience and also my incoming senior year.

Nothing helps myself on how graphic design can show modernization between the world of technical based design. As an aspiring designer, I will absolutely learn more about commercialized and advertising design to help me enter my name into technical graphic design based companies. |
