you've got a mouthful of diamonds
Hello LJ. It has been a long time. I'm feeling nostalgic and trying to put my brain on something less heavy than what I should be doing.
I've gone as far back through the old friendslist as I can, so I know who still posts, but I have no idea who still reads. To those that do, hi.
I am crazy busy and up to my eyeballs in work, but I'm okay otherwise. Design school is a heavy load, but until I came into this stuff, I hadn't felt the way I do now about having a real place in the world that actually means something. My actions and skills matter to people now, and that's pretty cool.
Schools out in two weeks. So that list, plus some, is all due in the next two weeks. Ugh. : /
This summer, I'm knocking out a required Speech credit and taking Corporate Design, pretty excited about the latter. Next fall, I'll be in Print 2, Web 2 (user experience/interface focus), Package 2, Advertising 1, and Math.
School pretty much dominates my life, but outside of it, I'm okay.
How are you?

- Here's some of the bigger/hot button things I'm working on:
- A website/promo materials for a design competition hosted by a hip local Urban Planning/Design non-profit as part of my student worker federal aid hours who is likely going to give me a paid summer job
- A smallish multi-piece print job for a really really awesome non-profit org for my Print 1 final, and then a continuation of the collaboration in the Fall, where I'll likely revise their branding, including all their packaging materals
- A small paying photo job this weekend
- Researching out of state firms whose work I admire to focus on hooking an internship at. (antigraphic, what groups in Seattle do cool shit?)
- A twacked out board game for my Package Design final with Barbara Kruger inspired art
- An as yet to be determined video project... need to figure out what the hell I'm going to make into a film... for my video design final
- My personal portfolio site for my Web final
- Fixing the pretty update/past Web project to johnnyfavorite's personal website so that he can actually use it
- A damn clay sculpture. I hate sculpting. : /
