Creative Computing is a great course that not only teaches you how to program, but also gives you freedom to explore your creativity, and it is the main reason why I was eager to chose and study this course in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>When working on a group project I always take on an artistic part of it, as this is what I am best at. I love to create designs, and art scope for any of the projects. Nevertheless such languages as<br \/>\nC++\/OpenFrameworks and Processing\u00a0 are of great interest to me, simply because they allow us to create visual and graphical stuff.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/image2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-128\" title=\"image2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/image2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"643\" height=\"484\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/image2.png 643w, http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/image2-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/image2-398x300.png 398w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/a>Outside of university, I work part-time in ENRC company, where I take care of IT services as well as assist in some website development projects. During my free time I greatly enjoy exploring Fashion and Art exhibitions and practice my drawing and photography skills!<\/p>\n<p>I hope in the future I could devote myself to many artistic projects, and use programming skills I have gathered in Goldsmiths. One of them, for example, will be a fabric pattern designs created with computer coding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
