This week, our guest speaker was Olivia Gregory, a concept artist. Since I wasn\u2019t entirely sure what a concept artist does, I visited her personal website to gain a basic understanding of the role. This is her website: https:\/\/oliviakgregory.wixsite.com\/artwork<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a preliminary look, it appears to involve the 2D design and exploration of the game\u2019s environments and characters; I will learn more during her presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a point made at the beginning of her presentation that I strongly agree with: even if I don\u2019t end up becoming a concept designer myself, I might still need to work with one\u2014which is why it\u2019s important to understand how they work and what their workflows are like. I have come to realize that in a professional setting, it is often necessary to understand how your colleagues work; doing so helps you find better ways to collaborate, which in turn boosts the overall efficiency of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, since I plan to pursue a career in game design, it is essential for me to have a clear understanding of how programming and art assets are designed and produced; this knowledge will enable me to create more practical and functional systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has been incredibly enlightening for me, as I\u2019ve realized I need to reflect on and organize my past approaches to collaboration. I also intend to gain a better understanding of other professional roles, ensuring that when I eventually seek new job opportunities, I can effectively demonstrate my capacity for understanding and collaboration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
