Introducing Myself

Hello My name is Niall Quinn, I recently passed school and Have decided to study Visual Affects, Game design and character design In Sunderland College’ NextGen Course.

Experiences within the Industry ?

Coming into this course I have never designed or programmed a game. For a while now I have been a Graphic Designer and have had Over 4 Years experience within the Industry. I have had many Clients such as up-coming companies and many Individual Person clients. Within the time I was studying Graphic design I also dabbled Into 3D Modeling Using Programs such as Cinema4D and Blender – although I never rendered or modeled a House or spaceship I used these programs to model Objects used withing advertisements (For example – IF the company required a coffee mug in there payed advertisement I would model a mug along with texturing and rendering.

Outside of the Industry I Have been Playing games and Been a fan of many games for a very long time – Hence the interest in the Game design proportion of this course.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
