Editor's Notes
- In life, you tend to find yourself searching for your identity. Sometimes you may be born to do a certain thing, sometimes to have to practice and train to reach a certain level. But once you figure out your destiny and understands your talent or purpose.
- Do you still know yourself? Do you have an identity that accompanies your purpose? These are the questions I ask myself when continuing my career. As much knowledge and skill I may possess or have yet to possess, I have to have an identity represents that knowledge and skill. I’m still on that journey asking myself. I might already be there but there’s always room for improvement.
- Sometimes I can think too much and overdrive my thought process. Realizing that I'm still in my beginning stages and I have a long way to ago, sometimes I need to just relax and move at a steady but progressive pace. I'm a relaxed and easy going person who strives to learn new things and soak up as much knowledge as I can. I also tend to find inspiration in the calmest places or the most scenic places.
- My name is Chris Gentry. I am a Graphic Design student at Full Sail University. Sharing my story will hopefully give you insight on how I revisited my childhood to draw inspiration in building a career in Graphic Design.
- I refer to myself as a nobody in somebody’s world striving to be a somebody in nobody’s world. Meaning, as a unknown beginner, I have my influential figures that I look up and want to be like.
- Once I reach a level where I can influence others, I hope I can be of an impact to someone else’s fledging career.
- As a nobody, it’s always best to remain humble as you build your identity. My identity started in the city where I was born, Lynchburg, Virginia.
- My interest in drawing and designing actually developed when I was a child. I enjoyed things like video games, and television. Whatever influences came from those activities, I would draw. But growing up for me was a struggle to develop my own identity and to find my voice because I was very timid and too concerned with how others viewed me. Being very young and feeling like I was in my own world with no strong influences did little to boost my confidence to be an artist. Even through my high school years, art remained my favorite subject but not as passionate as I was when I was younger.
- Going through my experiences as an adult were challenging but it helped to develop a personal identity. I worked jobs that were decent but nothing inspirational, like butchering and….
- ….joining the Army. It was in the Army where I started to develop a sense of who I was as a person and experienced character growth.
- The army had its ups and downs but the work experience was very challenging at times.
- While I didn’t get stationed too far from home, it was still an overall great experience. I went through a great deal of trials and tribulations in those 7 years….
- ….including being deployed for 7 months. Towards the end of my army term, I knew I wanted more out of life and to do something that was right for my identity. So, after having a conversation with a friend about education and having a definitive craft..
- I enrolled into Full Sail University.
- I chose graphic designing initially not realizing it was something I’ve always enjoyed. The more I looked into the industry, the more fascinated I grew and the more I thought about how much I loved drawing as a child. But as an adult, it felt more comfortable to say that this is me and this is my life.
