Ah Comic-Con the breeding ground for anime, comic books & manga. Any nerd/geek worth there salt attends Comic-Con at least once. Cosplay is also a very prominent feature of Comic-Con. Cosplay is the art of dressing up as you're favorite fictional character & representing them to the fullest of you're abilities. Here's an example of someone cosplaying a very popular fiction character named Yuna. Think of cosplay like Halloween instead with more creativity, more flare & of course more fun. Comic-Con also helps bridge the gap between Americans & Japanese (as far as animes, comics & mangas are concerned). Japanese comic book fans get all of the latest info on they're favorite comics & American manga fans get all the latest info on they're favorite mangas. Of course they're are always people debating about which is better comics or manga (I personally prefer manga) but all in all most try to get along. Up & coming comic book/manga artist use Comic-Con as a means for publication and publicity. Hoping to get there work noticed by the public & hoping to find a publisher willing to publish they're work. Comic-Con is an amazing event & I recommend everyone go at least once even if you're not into it. Who knows you may just become a fan.
A Flash Designer is someone who is responsible for making the interfaces and animations within a game. They have to make sure the interfaces are easy to use & navigate as well as making sure the animations look good. Some of the qualifications for a flash designer are a passion for gaming & 3 - 5 years of design/animation experience. Having a passion for gaming is in my opinion the most important requirement. If you don't like gaming then you most likely won't try you're best when trying to create one.
I was very surprised that you could become a flash designer without a degree. Granted you have to be one of the best but it can be done. Creative Hotlist made me realize that the design industry is mostly about personal skill rather than superficial credentials.
My Comic Life project is about a battle between two Pokemon. One is named Mewtwo the other is Darkrai. A human girl named Nagisa who was there friend was killed by a group of people from a town called Sinnoh. Now Darkrai wants revenge but Mewtwo is determined to put a stop to him. Without further ado here is a link to said comic.
My experience with Comic Life is a good one. I really liked all of the customization options they have available. I was a little saddened that I could only make a short comic but my teacher said she didn't want to read a 100 page comic lol. I look forward to trying out Comic Life 2 in the future since comic life 1 was a lot of fun.
Every game designer hopes to showcase at E3 at least once in there career. But what is E3? E3 stands for Electronic Entertainment Expo & is the greatest event of the gaming industry. You can think of it as the super bowl but for gaming. Having your game showcased here means you have shown you have the creativity & talent to excel in the industry. E3 can be a curse as much as a blessing however. Game designers who have showcased here are expected to maintain the kind of gaming quality that got them there in the first place. A lot of game designers buckle under this pressure & end up never being showcased again because there newest creations aren't up to par with what's been expected of them. E3 isn't just about games however it's also about electronics. Inventors come here to show off there latest gadgets in hopes of gaining much needed publicity or even better potential investors. I hope to one day grace the E3 stage with a creation of my own.
