EDUCATION

2009 Masters Certificate in Visual Communications (VCMC), Johns Hopkins University, Columbia, Md Campus: In order to stay on top of this fast paced and ever changing industry, I decided to go back to school and get a Masters in Visual Communications. This program consists of four individual certificates in a program built around four areas of study. First, the certificate was in Graphic Design. This certificate covered Typography, Color, Layout, Digital Photography and Branding while learning the intricacies of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign software programs. Print layouts for brochures, flyers, posters, DVD covers were all performed. Second, was a master certificate in Web Design, Usability, HTML, XHTML, CSS design and coding, procifient use of Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Flash Pro with ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0, Flash Video, and Flash Mobile. We expanded our use of Photoshop for web design layout, slicing, and graphic creation and preparation for the web and interactive design and presentation. The Third master certificate was in 3D Animation, texturing, materials, Photoshop for 3D and the proficient use of Autodesk's 3ds Max Animation software. Here we learned modeling creating examples of human figures in games, robotic movement scenes with animation, space animations with ships and base stations. We learned about skins, materials, creative customization along with a strong coverage of the basics and interface functionality. The Fourth master certificate was in Video and Film Production techniques, Scripting, Non-Linear editing techniques, creating and encoding motion graphic effects using Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro. We also continued expanding the uses for Photoshop and Illustrator for graphics in film, tv and web media.
