Work

Sat Nov 14, 2009, 1:51 PM
2½ months of internship as a general graphic artist have passed. I've been working in a game company that makes slot machines, one armed bandits and such. It's been fairly interesting because there's lots of different stuff to work on. On the other hand this often means doing graphic design, which is really infernal. It's so annoying to draw things that don't have any concrete idea behind them, they're just some abstract shapes floating about. In good cases there's some idea to grasp on to but sometimes they're just buttons that are supposed to look cool in some way. Luckily they have pretty laid back schedules and overall attitude so there's quite abit of time to practise and do research.

But hey, I've had the chance to do concept art there too and already found many weaknesses in my work methods and ways of communicating ideas. I need to become much faster and find the right methods to work on each problem. It's strange how sometimes problems are easier to solve in 3D-software instead of painting or sketching.

The first project they put me on is released for field testing already. I won't tell it's name but it has a hawk-headed god in it. It was quite fun to work on and there wasn't too much to do since the game was half-done when they assigned me to the project.
I'm really looking forward to working on the next game, which has already been planned some. I can't say anything about it but it kind of has something to do with hiking.

Eep, I only have the final episode of Star Trek TNG left! This series was amazing!
