Here is the story telling project I created for my design class. I really wanted to show people what a computer scientist does and how computer science has changed the world though an animation. I created 652 images to create this project and I hope you enjoy.

My Columbus Flag Proposal
In Design 3505 class, we learned the importance of design. One topic we explored was the design of flags from around the world. Some flags are crafted extremely well while some are unattractive to the eye. We were shown the Columbus flag and I thought that I could create a better one. This was my version of the Columbus flag that I created for fun.

Global Awareness: I’ve traveled outside of America six times and this has helped me expand my perspective on the world. I’ve been to Europe five times and South America once. Seeing different people and experiencing different cultures has really opened my eyes. I hope to continue traveling and possibly work in a different country one day.
Original Inquiry: As a undergraduate student so far, I’ve focused on computer science and design my first semester. If you haven’t seen any of my artifacts yet, one thing you should know about me is that art and design are my passions. I believe the way that someone perceives something is very important. As I continue through my undergrad, I want to continue focusing on design and see where it takes me. I also want to team up with other students who have different talents (e.g. coders, designers, entrepreneurs, etc) so we can collaborate and create unique products. Also, I want to focus on the front-end coding (which means using HTML and CSS to design websites).
Academic Enrichment: I felt the best way for me to be well rounded was to take many different types of courses. I am going for a Computer and Information Science major, a design minor, and a business minor. I am also studying Russian.

A Little Bit About Myself
Hi there,
My name is Chandler Gerstenslager and I am a freshman at the Ohio State University. I am currently working towards a Computer and Information Science major and a design minor. At the university I am involved in the ICE Scholars Program which combines the innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial aspects of modern startups.
