Before

Hi, my name is Kyle Jay. I’m 22 years old and live in the inner east suburbs of Melbourne. I’m currently studying Multimedia Design at Swinburne University doing Honours year. I attend University for purpose as growing as a designer and learning more about my field. My particular area of interest within multimedia is motion graphics, 2d and 3d animation, visual effects, post production and video. Last year I worked at Reel Pictures for my industry placement year. Reel Pictures is a small animation studio that produces high quality animation and video graphics for a variety of end users. It was a great experience having an opportunity to utilize my interests at an industry level.

As with everyone I’m interested in what’s going to happen and develop in the future especially with sustainability. Most people were ignorant about how their actions were going to change the future in some way but now everyone is more cautious, thinking about future generations as we learn more about sustainability. There are lots of questions raised about what we’re going to do. I’m just starting learn about the issue and what role I can play as a designer.

AFTER

In the future I will be a lot more knowledgeable about sustainability and my field of multimedia. Working in the industry, designing for different technologies/platforms that will be invented in future and be an improvement from existing technology. The industry will be a lot more competitive in future as software develops it will allow novice users to create visually eye-catching designs, having had little training. For me it’s making sure I have that distinct edge which software doesn’t teach you. 

Recycling will be a lot more important in the future as we looking to reduce waste. There will be new ways of recycling and reducing waste for different industries and for the everyday person.
