ART 121-01, Week #3 (Finding a studio)

Dude, this is difficult. Locating a place you would like to join is not like, a willy nilly thing. I wanna sneeze and work at Pixar now! Like, no. Even if it's a simple class assignment, this is tough and gets me jittery. I mean, one part of my brain that is mentally stuck back in 2002 or something is all "heck yeah, the world is big and full of possibilities and I have all the time in the world to fantasize about working at Disney! They are like the only company right? Also, I'm 12!" At 24, which is TWICE that whimsical age, stuff is real. There are tons of companies and firms you have never even heard of because their mentioning has never reached your ears or eyes despite all the interneting you can do, and why have I not done this kind of research sooner? 

   Okay, so yeah- if it wasn't clear, we have to find a company and do research on them. See, I feel like I'm upscaling myself into frenzies for no reason, because it's just an assignment, but it's an assignment I'm doing that is so close to the reality of what could be coming soon.. so I'm dwelling too hard on things. For instance, I feel like my dream would be to open my own studio and have a close knit group of friends who compliment each other with all pros and cons to make a well rounded group. But that's not the assignment. Also, I feel like I have to earn a dream like that, because I can't even make spaghetti at home without getting sidetracked, and running a studio requires some serious responsibles. But one day I can grow into it.. so until then, just DO THE ASSIGNMENT SERIOUSLY this is not a big deal.

I've been awake since 8am, yesterday. eeeh.

I cant wait to see the Wind Rises. Not included here is 'When Marnie Was There', but that may have been started after he retired.

The Genius and Wonder of Hayao Miyazaki. 

I have this reoccurring interest in Lord of the Flies, and a constant interest in pigs, so this was never gonna not happen.

Our paper craft assignment for 2D class. I reversed the image here to what my intention was, since I flubbed it and did it backwards. But yeah, we used an x-acto blade on drawing paper, then used thicker colored paper as a background. The white paper is all connected, and was very delicate to transport. Other than the little nicks and craft issues, I'm happy with how it came out. (Don't do all-nighters with a sharp knife. Do not. No.)

ART 122-01 Week #1 (First impressions of the course)

Well, this class is the Graphic Design Survey class, not to be confused with Graphic Design Theory and Process. In all honesty, I am probably going to confuse myself between the two at some point. Perhaps at multiple 'some points'. I'll try not to.

Well, this class is on the surface, much like the other one. Same instructor, same syllabus design, but it seems this one will be focusing on the history side of Graphic Design? At least that's what I'm getting from the textbook. (It focuses on typography and it's beginnings. Will update later on these readings.)

I like how this class overlaps with the other class when it comes to students. A lot of familiar faces, meaning easier to memorize people and not be bombarded with too many names. I know we've met three times, but who are you? (Guilty.)

I'm curious for our first official in class session. The whole 'This class is technically into it's second week, not it's third week' thing is going to be confusing. But it'll be fine.

Sayonara.

STOP. ..Hammer time.
