Tag this was a crazy busy week
What I did this week (28 sep 2012)
- Made pretty good progress in package design; I think I’m finally up to speed. The final project is due next week.
- Ate some too-salty soup in the school cafeteria. For the second week in a row.
- Talked about Jimmy Corrigan in my comics class; got let into the Canzani Gallery to see some of Chris Ware’s original Jimmy Corrigan line drawings, which were stunning.
- Didn’t have my independent study meeting with Lutz because I was so busy with other stuff. I know, I felt pretty delinquent.
- Hung out with Audrey K. monday afternoon; did a fair bit of grumbling about the marketing class we have to attend.
- Tried to hunt down Barb with Audrey so we could say hi, but she was running kinda late to her own class and we couldn’t wait around for her.
- Got a reprieve from Burleigh on tuesday morning: the process books and presentations for our final project aren’t due until next tuesday. Phew, that’s a relief.
- Spent all of copywriting looking at stuff under the opaque projector. On tuesday we examined real-life text-only ads, and on thursday we read the text-only ads my classmates had written.
- Got to wear my giant trench coat and orange rain boots on thursday. It rained all day which I enjoyed a lot.
- Had a good old fashioned knit-n-crit in Burleigh’s thursday morning class; we went over our finals for the rebranding project. I’ve really missed doing critiques like that and it was highly enjoyable.
- As I mentioned, in thursday’s copywriting class, we looked at text-only ads written by students. Of particular enjoyment were a series of hilarious, extremely violent ads about gun ownership.
- Experimented with lots of new techniques in my jewelry class. Did some more welding and a lot more cutting. I’m getting a little better.
