Plans for Summer..

This Summer I'd have loved to be working on DARE but I'm choosing to work full time in Burger King over instead because I intend on moving out next year and I would like to have a good amount of cash saved up before committing myself to that. Burger king is good fun to be honest, pay isn't great but the hours are alright and the people are brilliant and it's good experience for me as I'm a supervisor so having a small managerial position in a real company is a good place to learn. I'll certainly apply for DARE next year though.

Other than working I would ideally like to get a professional website up and running, I'll have to dig out some old Photoshop skills and Dreamweaver maybe, see what I can throw together. It's either that or I pay for a website haha! I want to have quite a design based website though that shows off my creative side and that I'm capable of more than just managerial work. Since initially I'd applied for Computer Arts but had a change of heart at the last minute! I'll include all the documentation I've worked on in the past aswell as level designs and concepts which I'll also work on during the summer such as design in Unreal Engine which I have already dabbled in as part of my Advanced Interaction Module, screenshots which I've included in this post and a map created in Photoshop.

Another thing I'll do is throw my CV around local Dundee companies, perhaps even a little further afield as well, since I drive. Never know, maybe I could get lucky and land a placement over next year, small chance but always a possibility worth looking into. My main concentration though, other than working in BK will be gaining a real web presence and portfolio and really try to build on my skills in programs I already know as well as learning new ones. I'm keen to learn and I want to show that.

Cheers, caKes.
