Tag this is the fourth week of the semester already!
What I did this week (8 feb 2013)
- Experimented with resin casting in Package Design. I’m designing packaging for a line of solid perfume centered around molds taken from an ornate Victorian doorknob.
- Had a particularly satisfying experience in the school cafeteria this monday. The special, gumbo, wasn’t spicy enough, but even so there were lots of good things! Thanks for not being terrible, cafeteria!
- Received a perfect score on my Draping homework (I made five bodices, all shaped using different dart and gather placements). In class we worked on draping a basic skirt! I’m actually having fun making women’s clothing—it’s a miracle!
- Got into quite a nice groove at OhioHealth. The key to doing the 10-hour work day successfully is taking a very late lunch.
- Started organizing some portfolio pieces and came to a startling revelation.
- Received a fantastically-cute, two-months-late Christmas photo from Amanda with a very sweet message on the back. (#bffs)
- Killed time in Burleigh’s class while we were supposed to be working on our portfolio layouts. Spent a lot of time in the classroom next door talking to John.
- Listened to a non-creative CCAD bureaucrat give a presentation in which she repeatedly used the word “charrette”, causing me to convulse on the floor.
- For my Advanced type class, I set and printed a pangram of my new alphabet, a brushy, midcentury sans-serif caps.
- Milled around and wrote comments on other people’s projects in Advanced type while our teacher skipped out of class to go to a meeting (true story, apparently?). Then I participated in a rare Advanced Type knit-n-crit, during which Amanda and I whispered about classmates we’d like to befriend.
