ART CAREERS: CHOOSING THE RIGHT PATH
MAY 2023
OVERVIEW
Each student group was assigned the responsibility of organizing and managing a creative seminar on the school campus. The duties included inviting a speaker and coordinating the event.
The seminar revolves around the theme "Art Careers and Choosing the Right Path," delving into the diverse range of careers and their corresponding skill sets that students can pursue post-graduation. It aims to provide insights into selecting the appropriate career path. The speaker, known by the artist alias Philtomato, is Philip Bawasanta.
Given that technology, especially laptops, phones, and social media, has become a significant aspect of the experiences shared by my peers and me, it serves as a platform where we seek answers regarding the careers we would like to pursue after graduation.

I observed a significant importance in our relationship with technology and recognized it as a pivotal element that alters our lives and shapes our experiences with the world. The logo design, initially featuring a mouse, symbolizes the hand that enables us to navigate the internet world intertwined with our physical reality. Under the guidance of our group leader, it evolved into a combination mark, incorporating a pixel font. This addition aims to enhance the digital experience of both the visual theme and the seminar's name, complementing the existing mouse imagery. The seminar's main poster depicts a girl in her room, capturing the essence of our college experience during the pandemic. The messy room and dirty dishes narrate a story of the subject feeling lost and seeking direction, with the internet serving as the primary source for answers. This virtual space represents our escape, the venue for our education, and a gateway to the world. Growing up on the internet has ingrained in us the habit of turning to “Google” for answers, making it a fitting topic for the seminar.
