Thomas (Tom) Lyon

Graphic Arts and Web Designer

Personal Portfolio: http://lyongraphicdesign.com/

Tom Lyon is a freelance designer at his own home business in West Seattle. He works with few of his clients in different states such as Washington, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland and Distinct Columbia. He does most of graphic arts than web design. Why do I want to doppelganger him? I realized that I would choose him to be my role because he is really independent and likes to meet new people who major in the different subjects. He is a very people person. He likes to design for the client’s needs such as improve the company branding, letterhead stationary, and webpage layout. Since he works with many clients, he does his best to advertise about himself as a freelance graphic designer as passing the business cards, sharing his portfolio website, meeting new people, and participating any workshops and meetings. He analyzed that he likes to do on his own with few members and sometime with big group of member. I want to be like him because I do not like to work in a big design company because I may have hard time to connect with all designers. The small company may be easy for me to connect with several designers. For example, I need some time to listen what the designer’s thought, concepts, and discussion so I can feel more participated with them. I need a time to familiar all designers’ background. It happened to me in my internship between last summer to fall quarter. I was with him and two designers in the restaurant along with interpreters. We had good discussion with our ideas and easy to communicate each other.

On other hands, I would like to be a freelancer or work with any small business for any people and any jobs that need to new designs because I do like to help them to remove the old design or helping with other designers. Also, I do like to show my design skills, styles, and looks in my personal portfolio website. It may make the clients like to contact me to help them with these designs.

That is why I want people notice me I love to assist in making better design.

My rough schedule for the rest of the quarter. I just predicted the schedule. I hope I can following these schedule.

Unit 10: How People Decide?

There’re twenty-four flavors jams on the table. The testers tasted different of them, but they have hard time to decide which one of them will be bought. The testers only can remember three or four flavors a time. They may go back to start to taste them again if they like one of them better.

Some people have hard time to make decide whatever he or she wants or not. For example, the worker wants to look for better job to have good salary hourly, but the worker like the old job because work is good place to live and make friends with these workers. So, the workers sometimes follow their logical or their guts to make their decision.

The football referees have to make decision after the player touches the touchdown area. If they have different view about touchdown, the referees gathered up and discuss to make the decision. It is easy to have more than one referee because it is hard for one referee to make decision if it is touchdown or not.

It happened to me before. I had no idea what topic to be fit my senior thesis. I scribble the list of different topic that I interested in to learn about it.  When I had meet with Senior Thesis instructor, we discuss more deeply about these topics. He gave me more picture what is the better for my thesis.  That’s why it is better to have two or three people to help the person to make decision easily.
