CREATIVE PROCESS:

Purpose: Puberty youth. Some students relatively pass puberty easily, on the other hands, most of students suffer from it. Such as, experience of secondary sex characteristics, increase attention of appearances and increase degree of sensitivities. Also, they are worried about their career at that time. The purpose of my story is to tell people how to overcome my difficulties.

14-20 years old people, who are suffering from puberty or concerning about their career, good to be my audience. My story is about how did I overcome from my difficulty when I am puberty. This story is very important and meaningful to me because I am present by overcoming my difficulty. Therefore, I want my story be a great consolation to my audience. Also, I want them to try my way.



PAST:
My earliest creative influences began with an inferiority feeling for classmates. Their drawing skills were much better than I did. Therefore, I decided to learn drawing in art academy. I was proud of myself as I watched my drawing skill improving as I learn drawing. Nevertheless my parents knew that I was talented in art, but my parents objected me to having an art-related job because I was preparing Korean national Taekwondo players. They wanted me to keep doing it. Therefore, Korean national Taekwondo player was my goal and art was my hobby, so it took me long time to make decision to study art professionally. My interest were sketch and painting because that was what I learned the first time. And my earlier art education experience prepared me for pursuit of my current area of interest which is product design. From a long time ago, I had the ability to find out the shortcomings. And I seriously thoughtmabout my ability. I decided that this talent could be my strength as a product designer. So I made a decision to study about design to be a product designer. I have ambition in this field. Now, I am very unsatisfied, but someday I will surely achieve my dream. I was inspired by my father. He is a businessmen and he success in his business area. I always think that I want to be like my dad and he doesn't know much about my field but he always cheer me up. 



PRESENT:
My interest affected my life which makes me have real goal. And about my interest, people around me were surprised because it is big change to me from taekwondo to art design. Base on my basic art education, my ability which good at find things' shortcomings is creative as a product design. However, unfortunately, I do not have any result in my filed yet. Therefore, I cannot prove that I am ability as a product designer but when I work on my assignments that school gives, mostly successful even though it wasn't about product design. However, I still have challenge at my school which require computer technician. Nevertheless, design assignments were my "epic win" that I enjoyed at school because I like designing and I feel satisfied when I get the marks. On the other hands, my "epic fail' is when I have an assignment which requires English skills because I am an international student. English is not a first language to me; therefore, I have hard time doing English required assignments. Other than that, I proud of my past assignment results such as, pug pointillistaion, gray scale, and pencilcrayons drawing and so on.      

FUTURE:
After five years, I will work in the product company as a product designer in product designer position. I might not have any career other than have certified from Foundation Art and Design program and graduate Interaction Design and Development  program in George Brown College. I have learned the most important lesson as a student this years that must be sincere to succeed. Practice, effort, and integrity do not betray me. So I would like to give an advice to people who are considering entering a program aimed at a career in a creative field. Study and try continuously. After do so, the results will satisfy you. If my wish will come true, I will wish to be a faithful person.
