My Future Vision

 My future hopes, dreams and desires, designed by Diana M. ©2014
My future plans for my career is to become a chief marketing officer , found here. I have interest in majoring in business and studying internationally to achieve my goals. As seen within the picture provided, I enjoy management and helping others. At first I planned to become a pediatrician , however due to my past job I learned that paper work was what I loved to to.  My father inspired my goals as he showed me the basics of business and showed how fun it could be. I plan to study at the University of California Irive, uci page found here or California State University of Fullerton , link found here.  These universities have rigorous course which will help achieve my goal. My major varies from accounting , financing and management. I plan to take all these courses and possibly get a Bachelor of Arts (BA)or Bachelor of Sciene (BS).
 Once I finish studying the basis of business, I would like to continue to become a master of business. My belief is the more education and experience I have within the field , I will be more likely to become a chief marketing officer. Against the odds, if my plan does not follow , my backup plan is to become chief administrative officer or assistant regional officer.

Happiness is and an incredible variable and distinct for that individual who experiences it. It is acquired in infinite ways through the infinite motivations, aspirations, successes, failures, past-times etc. I would like to achieve true happiness once I finish my education and start working in my career job. After I find a suitable career , I would like to start my family and explore the world. I would include romance as another factor to true happiness , and would like a stable relationship throughout my university years. The gist of my happiness is to be surrounded by those whom I love and care about. As an eight year old girl I planned to become a teacher , have two children, a two story house and a fridge with endless amounts of food, that was the definition of happiness at the time. However ,growing up has helped me see true reality and the difficulties of achieving that. For the future , I don't believe I would care for a specific husband , house or the number of children I bear . 

When I'm old and grey , my hope is that I will be able to continue learning endlessly . Knowledge is an important factor to survival , and it would be beneficial to still be learning at an old age. For instance, technology will advance , and I would like to continue keeping up to date with probably the newest iPhone 1255684556656. As time passes so does our surroundings, from the environment to our knowledge. Space , time , temperature are some example of consistent transformation . I would enjoy to at least know if the sun is at the verge of our planet or if some one has created flying cars. 
My future is not apparent and will probably be as not as planned , moreover I will strive to continue for my dreams and fight the obstacles that approach.

The world would be a better place if

PTSA, The world would be a better place if ..

My inspiration for this piece was the fertile environment of Ontario. This past year , I've transferred to a different school with a variety of different plants surrounding the area. The pollution was inspired by the trash surrounding the place where I live. There is often trash lining the streets and the parks are not as fertile as Ontario. My intent for this picture was to convey the message that is flowers polluted the world other than air and trash pollution would make the world a better place.

Creating this piece I utilized a floral arrangement on illustrator.The tutorial inspiration where i accquired found here found here. I used a variety of colors , that I believe would appeal to the younger generation such as light pink , magenta , yellow and turquoise. I arranged the flowers differently than the one provided on the tutorial by overlapping the flowers. The plant colors are influenced by the closer the air plane comes closer to them. The plane was an image can be found here and was edited on photoshop . The pollution of the plane was edited with the help of the stamp , spot healing and crop tool. Finally the background was created by the rectangles tool filled with a turquoise color.
