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.
