Academic week 1 – reflected journal

I have had the privilege to get to know Moodle as a platform and how it works. I have drawn a map of the platform to make it easier for me to understand and remember the tools available on that website. 

I have also created my own personal journal on words-press. I have introduced myself there and my journey here. I have also created a cartoon of myself. 

Moreover, I have completed my profile on Moodle. In this way my fellow students and lectures can get to know me a little bit better. I have also introduced myself and updated my word-press blog in the forum.

My journey here

Background

My name is Dan, a 22 years old creative soul with an Interaction Design background. I am from Norway but currently living in Qatar and working on a design project for FIFA WORLD CUP 2022.

I have also been embracing my creative side through my Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/danelkarouni/ ) as well as my website ( http://www.danelkarouni.com ). Key responsibilities has been to create content as per request (Videos, animated and still pictures), and increase engagement and reach rate. This has increased sponsors to a healthy lucrative level which include not limited to Coca Cola, Valentino, Paco Rabanne, Sportmann AS, Telia Norway and Betakaroten. 

I decided to study Graphic Design Online studies at Noroff to strengthen my creative part and to be able to combine it with my former Interaction Design education. Online studies has been a great option for me to be able to study from other parts of the world.

What I would like to achieve from this course is the knowledge which I can both combine and integrate into my work as a designer.
