I am a graphic design student. None of this is professional.

Ok I have finished and handed in one project.

I took my only final test (and I think I did alright)

And now I am working on my last project and endeavor of this semester. I have been working on it for about 6 hours straight and I am just doing finishing touches now. So that may be a few more hours. and then the process book. I may get some sleep and do that part in the morning. Or I will just stay up and do it. The project that I am doing is for my Flash class. We had to create an interactive collection. I chose my huge-ass family to be my collection. The project is made to show relationships between people, also it conveys the last time I saw a person. Also, if i couldn't remember someone's name, instead of finding out what their name is, I would make up a name for them by how I know them or remember them. So it is a collection that kind of says something about my family and how often I see people and stuff. yeah.

anywho, I went to the used book store the other day and got this great little book called "happiness is a warm puppy" by charles schultes. It is copyrighted 1962 so the paper is kind of yellowed and the typography is this really cool old fonts and stuff. I love it because I grew up reading Peanuts and it has all the peanuts characters.
for example
"Happiness is a chain of paper clips."
"Happiness is being able to reach the doorknob."
"Happiness is some black, orange, yellow, white, and pink jelly beans, but no green ones."

Just handed in a final project with an hour to spare.

it feels good to have that done, but now I have to study for my other final and work on my other final project. But for now I am getting a bite to eat and resting a little before I take on my next endeavor.

This is more of a note to self than anything:

Learn to do screen printing.

make a random coffee table book.

just cuz I want.

and maybe start a band. hmmm first, work on fear of singing in public. then start a band.

Alright, I have really been procrasting all week on stuff and this is the time that I have to get into full gear.

i have finals coming up (meaning I have final projects due) and this weekend I have a guest coming. Actually tomorrow he is coming. So I really need to work on stuff tonight and crack it out. Plus, my team is giving a presentation, and even though I am not presenting I still have to look presentable. So maybe i'll go to the back of the closet and pull out some nice threads.

I got PRINT in the mail the other day which is always exciting. It reminds me of when I went to New York and I wanted to go to the Museum of Sex but I didn't have time. but I wish I would have. It also reminds me of my childhood with the "Good as Gold" article about those Golden Books that I used to read as a kid. Those were the golden days, truly.

Well I should probably get back to work, or get to work at all. I think I will study type first though... because I need to.

Ok so I decided to take up screen printing. It is something I've always wanted to do but I missed out on the workshops that we had around here, so I'm just going to do it myself. I'm excited.

If anyone has any tips, please share.
