I made a gif for you, tumblr.

Monday morning, I met Jen and Tay at a coffee shop to talk about our One Show 2014 project. We went over different creative concepts and settled on a few solid ideas. Monday afternoon in motion graphics, I made another 2½-D animation, this time from a photo I took of John on our birthday.

Only Ian and I showed up to friendship lunch on tuesday. We had a nice meal and then went on a little trip to check out his work for senior thesis. After that, I worked hard senior ad wrestling on our One Show project. It was an exhausting, idea-heavy work session, but overall worthwhile. I took a test tuesday afternoon in History of 2-d Design. I hadn’t been expecting anything too challenging (I didn’t study), and it was even simpler than I expected—aggravatingly so! I finished up and left within a half hour.

I spent some time in the jewelry lab on wednesday afternoon, doing some tests with resin. So many colors! In motion graphics, we continued the same old project.

Thursday in jewelry, I worked on a personal project—this made for a pleasant and relaxed morning. After that, I met up with Dana for lunch at Katzinger’s, where I ate a delicious sandwich and three pickles. In senior ad, I pitched my thesis to the class, then went out in the hallway with Tay and Jen to keep working on One Show. In History of 2-d, we started a new unit on early modern graphic design and watched a video about the Linotype.

Day 74: thu, 13 feb 2014. At Katzinger’s for a quick lunch with Dana in the midst of a hectic day!
