ART 122-01, Week #9 (Gotta Catch'um up.)

WELL, the end of the semester is upon everybody. We have precisely two weeks. I feel as though I am starting to feel the heat.

In this class, I have  a manifesto to finish, and then drawings to put to the manifesto, in a storybook format. I feel like it may not look as polished, but maybe it will? My goal is to have audio playing over it. Either it will be myself speaking over the drawings, or there will be text and some neutral music in the background. I dunno.

In the other class we have stamps to do.

Then in the others, I have a full greyscale painting, a full painting using four colors and their tints and shades. Then four color studies. Then three photography assignments. Just-- feeling the heat here. I take so long to decide on a direction to go, and it's eating up time, and I dunno why it takes me so long? But it does and.. I dunno. If everything turns out great I guess I can justify it.

So this is what happens when you put four highly creative design students together that just all mesh. I’m so proud of my team. This is a quickie pitch (that sounds dirty) for a new company who is looking for a logo and label design for their new water. They wanted something bold, catchy, clean, simple, no more than three colors, uses custom illustrations and/or lettering and is targeting 18-35 year-olds (ahem, hipsters).

Continuing the trek of getting caught up and such and stuff.

So, when it comes to this manifesto I was thinking of doing a comic. However, I do not know if this would be good for the assignment, because the thing I have in mind might be a bit muted and will not come out as optimistically as the assignment calls for. I was thinking of talking about the life process of having this one thing you've always had and worked on, and how up until people talk about careers and jobs and "Who are you?" And "What are you going to do?" All you've thought of was how this was always with you, but the big world has you thinking it may not be. Like, imagine that drawing and animation are your best friend from childhood, and you love to draw and hang out with this entity and the characters and stories in it by drawing and spending time together-- but then as you get older this entity becomes a celebrity and there are swarms of diehard fans in the tens of thousands- and they are between you and it. You didn't know in order to pursue you'd have to wade through this throng and if it's even worth it, because damn, they are hanging out with other big wigs and they seem way more worthwhile than the movies you'd watch at home and the late nights with your sketchbook- so why would this entity need you anyway? So then you have to assess your beginnings and what your relationship meant to you and decide if you want to be in its circle anyway?

I dunno, this is more of a free write. Also, not as concretely focused, more uncertain. Will think on for later.

Playing with Illustrator. Very new to it- lots of fun.
