Another task set was to write a brief personal statement. I wanted to do it a bit differently from other personal statements I have seen around the internet, taking a bit more of a basic approach to it as opposed to show boating myself. I set a simple template:
- Where am I from and what can I do
- When did I know I wanted to be a games designer
- How did I progress
- What have I done
- What am I doing now
- What is it helping me do
With this kept in mind I've written a short, down to the point piece about myself, shown below.
Originally from South East London, I have a fairly good background in architecture and mechanical engineering passed on to me through my father who owns his own architectural company based in London. Early on I showed an interest in games and game design, starting with simply modifying PC games for a better game-play. I began to gain experience in the creation and adaptation of a variety of games, later working with internet based teams who modify and create expansion packs for popular games such as Command and Conquer as well as some free-lanced work based in the Web Design and 3D Design industry.
I am currently doing a degree at Norwich University of the Arts in Games Design, that has helped me to improve and refine my techniques. Every day, every week, every month, I am pushing myself harder and harder, trying to build my work and knowledge up to an industry standard.
