art center life: week 13-14 and finally break!

It's been 3 weeks since my last post. The end of this term was killer, somehow i managed to pull it off. We shall see when grades get posted later this week.

Stormy skies in Pas.

Flooding streets

Heavy rain in Pas means snow in the mountains. View from school.

Thanksgiving I went down to San Diego and had a great time. I went to my grandmother's house for Thanksgiving. Afterwards I went over to Alex, Nick and Ted's parent's house. It felt like old times there. Growing up from about 4th grade til college I was over there all the time. Lots of memories in that house.

Traffic on way home. Luckily it only took 3 hours.

The rest of em

Some more of us

Grandma's straight from the 70's crib. Green shag carpet to match!

I went home Friday as I had lots of work to do for type. Week 13 was pretty much a blur. Week 14 was looooong.

Type 4 final on Tuseday went well. There were only minor issues that Brad brought to my attention. Overall it went well I hope I can score and A- in the class.

Final presentation

Week before finals doing our mock presentations and getting things tight for finals.

Archetype was chill. Put together our collaborative books. There were a handful of standout spreads but overall very solid book.

Getting ready to put together our books.

Here is side print it's like side boob but sexier!

Getting ready to take some pics.

California Job Case. Where I pull letters from when making magic!

Thursday was my day to knock out my Imaging 2 final. That image, a face retouch, suffered some since i had to do all of the compositing for the group project that was really not a group project. Ming, the instructor for the class, wasn't happy with it but I did my best. He told us that he was going to ding us for the project. However he told me that since I did the majority of the work that and that he knew I tried my best given the situation as graphics kid that I wouldn't be getting dinged as much. Hopefully I can pull a B in the class although I wouldn't be mad at a C.

Claudia filling in as our model for the group project composite ad.

Interactive was pretty much terrible. I had by far the worst project. I would be grateful with a C. The final class pretty much summed up the term as the class went long. I couldn't wait to leave school.

After dinner at Mi Piace it was time to let off some steam and chill out at Mentone Mannor for an Ugly Xmas Sweater Party.

Dante in his Ugly Xmas Sweater Party get up! Bad pic as I didn't take my camera but I had to post it.

When I woke up Saturday I had one of the best nights of sleep. Then Joanne and I went out to a great breakfast down in South Pas.

Diggin in the crates for typographic goodness.

Then it was time to get ready to make my way down to Ensenada on Sunday to see Veronica. That's where I am at right now. Not doing anything really which is pretty much awesome.
