week 1: General Introduction

I was happy to see our tutor for digital media. He introduced himself as a Chris MacDonald. and told us to introduce ourselves. We might say where we've come from, where u wanna be in near
future. I was quite excited and happy to see different faces and assumed that they might be very talented and smart.  I  had this concept that the ongoing course would be very practical and exciting.

For me being outside the country is a completely new thing. For some moment I wasn't feeling comfortable with other students. I wasn't confident enough to speak in English and took me several periods to catch up with tutors voice and sentences, As I found it to be deep and manly. It was just my opinion and freaked out assuming that how would I be able to understand throughout the upcoming session.

Chris noticed us that we need to be writing a blog as a part of our college assignment as it would carry about 25% of the overall score. I was very new to writing blogs. I heard about it before but I had never tried.

As our tutor Chris suggested us to think creatively and think outside of the box. I finally came up with some ideas.


This is a prototype that I made myself. here I wanted to show the world holding full of buildings and a little dying tree inside of it. The main theme of this design is that the human has progressively urbanizing most of the landmass on earth. They are cutting down trees for their own benefits and They are not aware of the consequences.
