    Pathway Overview:  First choose a pathway that you want to develop your skills in.  For example, you can explore 'Game Design', but even this is still a very vague. You can narrow down your direction to areas like, Game Artist, Game Modeler (organic or non-organic), Game Theory, or Game Programmer.

    Skill Objective Justification:  In your Skill Objective state what skills you will work on and what tutorial you will start with.  This should also include a justification of why you chose this tutorial. 

    Skill Objective Justification:
    I will develop my Autodesk Mudbox sculpture skills, focusing on organic modeling.  To do so I will follow the T-Rex tutorial.  I will document my progress daily.   I chose this tutorial because I felt learning Mudbox is the most import aspect related to my design.  Also, this tutorial looks like it would be a lot of fun and I want to do it whether I am graded or not.   Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arQyKu2RmVw  *8/28/16
