This picture is actually a screenshot from me playing in
league of legends (as Rengar, the Pridestalker) and the reason why I used the
words “I want to be a legend” is because sometime in the near future I want to
make my footprint in the League of Legends community. Whether it’s as a “Pro
Player” or analyst or just even as a figure that gives helpful advice to help
people become better players and better people. For visual effects I used
something called frost to give that flash-forward image that you see people on
TV do while they are daydreaming.

Six Word Memoir #6
Something I always have wanted to do is to randomly break
into dance (I’m not 100% sure why, I just do) I would love to just wake up one
day and have my own version of that sense from “500 Days of Summer” where
Joseph Jordon-Levitt has everyone around dancing along, marching band, and
cheesy birds along with any other musical clichés you could think of. For this
I used the Budmo Jiggler Font to add that “Big Show” feeling or Musical/Acting
impression. I also adjusted the text so it would appear to be on the white
background on the stage so it would fit in better and have a more natural feel
to it.
Six Word Memoir #5
The reason why I used the words that I did was as you probably
guessed I those cheesy one-liners the best example being the ones used in the
show “CSI Miami” by the character Horatio. And for that reason I toke this
picture of me wearing my aviators and added a faded background of Miami, as a
little “Easter egg” if you will for anyone that gets the joke. I also purposely
separated the text so the person looking at it would have to look at the top,
think about for a moment, and then look at the bottom to see the rest of the
message. Much like how when people in movies have a brief pause or dramatic
pause between their one-liners.
Six Word Memoir #4
I have always been a quality over quantity kind of guy for
my whole entire life. This is one of the few areas of my life I feel
comfortable that I have both. I am very blessed to have as many good friends as
I do whether it’s some people I meet through playing football, or acting on
stage for a show, playing video games with people from all over the world, even
simply meeting on a bus for the first day of kindergarten. I tried to use some
visual effects like “Orton” to give that nice heartwarming feeling that gives
you that idea of togetherness.
Six Word Memoir #3
The reason I used this picture to talk about family is
because it was one of the best pictures I could get that had many multiply
members of my family. I wanted to show how different we all looked. For example
the 2 people closest to the right are my grandparents and in the middle is my
mom standing beside my aunt. I always found it interesting how different my
aunt, my mom, and my uncle (not in this picture) looked. Which is always a personal
reminder that family really does come in all shapes and sizes. I also added
some visual effect to give a nice glow to it. Like those Christmas cards you
see around the holidays that give you that merry feeling.
Six Word Memoir #2
Whenever I think about the past, I think about all the
choices that I made to become the person I am today. And what I always remember
that the first step was always the hardest and scariest. Whether it was joining
the football team not knowing anybody or even knowing how to play the game, or
auditioning for a part in a play, and in some cases starting school in a
completely new country. The reason why I toke the picture from the angle I did
was because I wanted to stairs to look more intimidating much like the
challenges we experience right before we that “first step” Cause the problems
we face in life look a lot more difficult when we start at the bottom. I also
used a black and white effect to give a more serious tone.
Six Word Memoir #1
The idea behind me using the phrase “Not one life; but many
lives” is that as a gamer. I get to be a completely new person and take on a
new persona every time I play a video game whether I am a Master Assassin, an
elite soldier or even a champion on the fields of justice. Which not only gives
this feeling of escapism from my daily life, it lets me see the world in a
different perspective that I may never had though about before. I didn't really
use any special effect or editing (besides some colour correction and cropping)
for this picture because I felt anything I added would take too much attention
from the words/messages I was giving.
