How time flies, my daughter is attending the school’s internship program this term (and the next term). She started three days ago at a web development and product branding company in Quezon City. My daughter is excited to explore and practice her craft at the said company. On her first day, she said she’s already swamped with work. It’s a welcome change for her because she has more time to concentrate on the things she love which is designing. I think one of the assignments given to her the other day was about designing an online store similar to that of the website of guitar center hollywood, which obviously caters to selling guitars online. She hopes to be able to contribute to the creative aspect of the project.

The Many Facets of Digital Art

There are some types of digital art that people are not too familiar with. Some of the types are vector, pixels and fractals. These arts are made differently. Basically, vectors are mathematically made by a program. This means that you can edit them out without worrying about the resolution being too small or too big. Pixels on the other hand are dependent on the resolution because they are commonly edited out with some applications that might lower their resolution and will make the image blurred. Fractals are also dependent on math. There are some programs that are made specifically to show different fractals. With all these that are available, creating a website will be easy as long as you know what you would like to put.

Entrance exam update

My daughter took an entrance test in a university in Manila last year. She passed the IQ, Math, English and Science tests but her scores did not meet the school’s required cut-off scores. Even if she qualifies to enroll we may not be able to send her to that school because we cannot afford the tuition fee.

Last Saturday, she took another exam for a different school. My daughter said the test was much easier compared to the first one. And they waited for less than an hour to get the result. She passed the entrance examination and qualified for admission. This university offers the course that she wants to pursue. We will try to look for a scholarship to assist us with the expenses. I know it’s going to be tough for all of us next school year.
