Dear Future Self, Did you find your place in the design world?

“ Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your inner voice.

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition…..

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.”

- Steve Jobs

Dear Future Tony,  

The future is full of the unknown and in one perspective that is such an interesting and exciting thing. In another perspective as a graduating senior, it can be nerve-wracking because due to the consistently changing world. I would like to know if you have found your place in the design field? How ambitious were you in the design field before taking over? I know that it was scary and unnerving the last couple of weeks before graduation getting everything put together. Yet, you are the evidence of my success. Did you get a job at the company that you were talking about? I can only just imagine the designs and work that you were able to get done before taking over the business. How is the business doing?  

I am very curious if you were able to make any new gifs or motion graphics projects at all for any company or business. I always loved creating motion designs whether it was gifs, cinemographs, or even just stop motion animation with Legos or figurines. One of my favorite projects was the lighter gif, because I had taken my time to animate how the fire moved, and it was fun to make my own path. I had a lot of fun with the cinemagraphs, because it was a cool and interesting result when completed perfectly. My favorite cinemagraph had to be my rainy window because of how well it turned out.  

Did you ever continue with your journey into the world of photography? I always loved how certain aspects of the world looked and how amazing just raw, pictures can look. Do you remember your photography professor? He was always impressed with your work, especially how well it had improved over the past year. I hope that you have stayed in touch with your photography side because your eye is my eye and I think that it will be good for you to be able to get out on your days off and have small adventures.  

Did you ever actually create the app from your mobile interaction class? If so, how is everything going with that? If not, then it is never too late to create something that helps people and dogs alike. I am also very optimistic about how everything will be in regards with the business and the ideas that were talked about, if they had come to fruition or if they just were ideas of the past. I wish all the best for the future and that everything will work out some way or another.  

Sincerely, 

Graduating Senior Tony.
