Two weeks down twelve more to go. The term is in full swing now. Did my first design comps this week on Tuesday for Design 2. We also did the laser lab workshop. I am now laser certified. It was pretty easy, I made a cheesy star with my name on it.
design two comps: figure on ground, figure/ground ambiguity and symmetrical balance
my awesome star
Josh getting to work on his It's Miley key chain.
In my materials class I had my first mini project. We had to create something from a disposable object. This object could not be designed, it had to be created on the fly. I used zipties and made a tower of sorts.
We have to take video of our object showing its movement. Kinda weird but whatever. The teacher is a fine artist, she does installations, sculptures and things in that realm. We are now working on this block of plaster. We had to make a form to cast the plaster in and now we are starting to shape it. After materials class Jesse and I had Draw and Aim. Its a drawing class geared toward Graphic Design majors. I hate drawing, with that in mind at least we were drawing a naked chick. It was also my bday so that was a nice present. I am 30 years old now if you didn't know. After class before going out to dinner, I had to get my car jump started. Jesse had about 2 hours of sleep the night before. He was working on a freelance website. During his midday break he decided to rest in the car and listen to the radio. The battery needed to be replaced but he drained what little juice was left in it. Luckily the facilities office has a battery pack jump starter so it wasn't long before we were off to Barn Burner Texas BBQ. Brody and Kiko joined Jesse, Lynsey and myself for dinner. It was dollar Thursday so we order about 30 things off the dollar menu. During dinner this girl came up to us and took our picture. We would later get a complementary collage that included our picture. It was pretty random and odd at the same time.
can you see us? we are in the top left hand corner
Today's writing studio was pretty boring. We were discussing things like the difference between Their and There. Really, I mean come on. This is ridiculous. I mean did they even bother to look at my transcripts. I suck at writing but not this bad. I am so over it. It should be an easy A though. After class I went home to relax before going back to school. Then at 4 I had to be back at school for a focus group. The group was made up of 9 other students, one student from each of the majors were present. We were selected to view and discuss three of the potential designs and navigational layouts for a new art center website. That was interesting to say the least. After that I went to finally get a new car battery. I had gotten an oil change about 2 weeks ago and was told I needed a new battery so I finally had to get one. After installing it Jesse, Lynsey and I ordered Chinese food. Its now 11:40 and I am getting ready for bed. Week three starts tomorrow.
With a view like that how could I not take a picture.
