My name is Julia Torokhov and I am a senior at Freestyle Academy. After taking Animation last year, I decided to focus on Design as my elective this year. I am good at many different creative fields, like painting, drawing, photography, and animation. From the Freestyle experience, I value most the freedom we get and the interconnectivity of the classes. I enjoy the way the classes all relate to each other to build a project, and how we can choose the direction of all our projects. Outside of Freestyle, I have had a long time passion about learning languages, and know Russian, Japanese, and some French. I take inspirations in my works from the interests I have, such as in Japanese culture, vintage aesthetics, and in my favorite color pink, and also my own Russian culture.<\/span><\/p>\n The projects I have chosen to present are a portion of my Zenith project as well as my outside illustration work. My Zenith project includes a lyric illustration book and illustrations for a CD package. I\u2019d like to emphasize the composition and color schemes in my illustrations in my selected works, as well as the design of my Zenith project. I hope to get feedback on these elements, as well as feedback about where I can rework my pieces for the future. I also hope to receive feedback on what stylistic choices I make are particularly successful and what is not working.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Next year, I will attend UC San Diego and intend to dual major in International Business and Studio or Media Art. After college, I hope to go into a career in advertising. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
