Discovering Motivation Through Experiences Abroad
In the vibrant city of Japan, where cherry blossom trees bloom and the culture is rich with tradition, Samantha Nelson finds herself pursuing her passion for graphic design. A student at Sessions, Samantha is studying for a degree in Graphic Design and making her mark in the world of design.
Samantha's love for art extends beyond the digital screen, as she enjoys listening to music, playing with her dogs, and experiencing new places to overcome "artists' block". One of her favourite artists is Erik Johansson, a Swedish photographer and visual artist known for creating surreal works out of combined photographs.
Living overseas due to her husband's military service, Samantha has found a unique opportunity to immerse herself in the beautiful culture and sights of Japan, which often serves as inspiration for her work. This is evident in her favourite project from Graphic Design, where she created three olive oil products for the fictitious company Olivio.
For the Olivio project, Samantha had the freedom to create everything physically or digitally using Photoshop/Illustrator. She designed a logo, chose three olive oil flavors, designed bottles, labels, and a booklet. Her hard work and creativity paid off, as she was proud of the pieces she created.
Samantha's work can be found on Behance, showcasing her talent and dedication to her craft. The Sessions online program has made it possible for her to continue her education while living overseas, offering flexibility and the opportunity to learn without relocating.
One of the challenges Samantha faces in her online education is managing communication with instructors due to time zone differences. However, she advises that communication is key in online education, and to let professors know if something comes up.
