Looking at my DA page, it says "graphic designer" and yet I see very little to do with design in my gallery. Been in a slump lately I suppose as I don't "feel it" any more, at least in terms of general designing. Probably because I'm finally trying to see what road lies ahead of me, thinking constantly "What would I love to do for a living?"
The truth is that I've known the answer ever since I've been a little kid but for a multitude of reasons: social pressures, social expectations, self doubt, etc. I keep running away from that answer thinking that I won't be able to go that way and try to take another path which deep down I know isn't the right one.
I've always wanted to work on video games. Dreams are flexible of course and the degree of involvement with a game I could work in isn't as important as the fact that I could get to work on an industry that I've always had a lot of passion for, the most passion out of all the things I enjoy doing (music, design, etc, games always comes out on top in the end).
This realization probably had something to do with a blog I recently stumbled upon and read about the author who deals with many topics on game design.
[link]I've always wanted to find this apparently magical connection between Graphic Design and Game Design and then I read about this person who also studied design and does game design for a living. His final message on the "about" page left me with a very strong message: "I enjoy solving problems; I enjoy design." And that's something that I've always loved to do, I love to find ways to solve a problem and that's exactly what design tries to do.
So after wanting to smack myself upside the head for making such an obvious realization, what next? A good first step would probably be to actually see how my skills as a designer can be taken onto the realm of gaming, and looking at Masters degrees in schools in the UK that take designers like myself and help teach about game-making and now I feel I should seriously look into that.
So now that I'm not denying myself and trying to find my way forward with what I'd like to do for a living, wish me luck as I try to follow that dream and see where it can take me.
