Before I drop of the face of the earth for 3 months...
This semester is literally going to kick my ass! I have some much work to do. I have my portfolio, which I have lynne for. Okay so today was our first portfolio prep class and I am so discouraged. Why did i not go to saint rose???? Apparently (btw lynne used to work at saint rose so this makes any kind of sense) saint rose students work all goes together. Like they design everything like a campaign so when it comes to putting it in a portfolio to show prespective employers it makes sense, unlike any of the stuff we did. She spent the whole class showing portfolio pieces and all i could think of was wow none of my stuff comes close. I guess that is what this class is for, but I can definitely see it being a ton huge amount of work that is going to kill me in the end. I am so glad I started drinking coffee bc there is no way I am going to have time to sleep this semester with this class and capstone...
Capstone. That is another class that will kick my ass. My plan right now is to hopefully make it through with good pieces. I have Lynne for that too. She says that I am looking into the obvious for posters when I should look for symbolic meaning and that way the posters will turn out better. Now seeing her students work I can see where she is coming from, but I dont know if I;m going to be able to do that. I would like to be able to say I could, but I really have no idea. I want this really strange effect I think... I want something shocking, but then something someone is going to stop and think about. I just have no idea what it is...and time is beginning to crunch.
The Web. Yeah I dropped my pop culture class for the web. First off the pop culture class had a crazy teacher who wanted us to do a ton of work. I;m not afraid of work but when the class is an elective and just so i can keep health insurance the answer is no. I mean this class wouldnt have even helped me with my profession so i dropped it. That and the teachers brain jumped all over the place that i could hardly follow. I mean it may have been interesting, but it also could have been a waste of my time. So anyway now I;m taking the web, which i knwo will have a lot of work in it too, but I think she said we will be learning html, and THAT will be useful in my career. Plus we will be developing 3 websites, which if I do them right I can put in my porfolio. yay. I really needed another class on dreamweaver and flash, and even though I am not supposed to taje this one bc i;m a graphic designer and not an info designer I think it will really benefit in the long run.
Topics in Graphic Design is my last class. I guess we are going to come all topics, which will be a good review and I can learn other things. Right now we are working with type. Plus Jean is going to have us push out pieces, which can be put into a portfolio.
Anywasy I;m going to do some homework and hopefully finish in time to go out tonight. pz
