PrintFirm.com is pleased to announce our customer of the week, Cuong Tran ! Cuong, otherwise known as Animator Tran, is a gifted illustrator, animator, and designer originally from Saigon, Vietnam. Tran left his native Vietnam at age 5, and proudly earned his U.S. citizenship in 2011. Tran also holds the distinction of being the first in his family to achieve the American dream of a college education. An imaginative prodigy, he received his B.A. in Media Arts and Animation from the prestigious Art Institute of Indianapolis at age 22.
After graduation, Tran secured employment as a digital media designer with the Gannett Company, which happens to be the largest newspaper publisher in the nation. Although the name Gannett might not ring a bell, this mass media giant owns the USA Today among other trusted news outlets. At the ripe age of 24, Tran currently serves as an Adjunct Professor of Animation at ITT Tech, Indianapolis. He instructs students in animation, web design, graphic design, and video editing. Of course, he also finds time for his fortunate freelance clients, including The Villain Music Group, Guttamind.com, and the Eldora Speedway.
Tran’s website features tons of impressive designs, but our favorite pieces are from his video collection. Tran’s videos reveal the true depth of his talents as he is responsible for most of the animation as well as the accompanying soundtracks. Here’s a little taste of his 3D graphic capabilities :
Tran’s professional interest in design stems from his passion for all things anime. He regularly attends conventions and expos to showcase his work while mingling with his fellow creatives. We’re excited to see what’s in store for Cuong, but we already know there are wedding bells ringing in the not so distant future. Cuong plans to marry his fiancé Megan in May of this year! We wish the happy couple all the best, although it’s probably too late for us to do the honor of printing the wedding invitations. We’re not worried about missing out on the wedding because we’re sure these two have plenty of anniversary parties ahead of them.
