things as of lately-
414 – Today I had a portfolio review and worked on my project ideas in 414. I felt pretty good about what P. Kerr had to say about my portfolio.
I need to work on my brochure from 307, line the text and images boxes up with each other and get rid of the stroke on the text boxes. Also I should pick a strong style notebook and keep that large but under it include the other 5 but in smaller format under it on the same page. I thought that was a good way to incorporate all of my style notebooks and cut down the costs on printing them all out again seeing I messed up the first time.
I decided I may want to make 3 travel brochures for one project. Take a bunch of my Kingston, Ontario photos and collect some more if I go for my birthday. Also, make two more, probably one of Oswego and one of Syracuse.
Kingston, Ontario
For my other project I’m torn between two ideas. I want to make a CD booklet and cover for Tim, my boyfriends solo project. This will be his 5th or 6th or 7th or whatever CD and I want to help out with it. He can act as the client and give me some ideas and I can draw up some sketches and roughs and see where to go with that.
OR the other idea I had was to incorporate my recipe pages for a Live Journal themed journal swap you can see that here. I’d like to make this somehow into an interactive website where readers can submit images and recipes as well as the ones I’d post. I’d also form them into new pages without using the illegal images I swiped off Google image searches. Ha!
309 – God I love the idea of flash but I’m so lost right now. It doesn’t help the fact Cara is teaching 409 simultaneously and can’t be everywhere at once. The TA unfortunately wasn’t understanding my questions and I felt really dumb. I guess it’s okay seeing it was my first 2 hours with the program. I’ll have to look up some tutorials on the net. I understand one on one time is very hard for such a large class but it seemed everyone was getting it but me. But that could be me being dramatic about it, I can’t tell yet.
MISCELLANEOUS – I watched Born in East LA last night. It’s a cheesy late 80’s comedy film, unfortunately it wasn’t a film you guys recommended to me. I tried finishing Pineapple Express last night too, but I got too tired. I think I’ll finish that in a few minutes after this post. I also bought 2 movies while I was buying textbooks off Half dot com. I got The big White, a 2005 film with Robin Williams, and Taxi Driver, the ‘76 film by Martin Scorsese with Robert Di Nero. I suggest both to you guys if you haven’t seen them.
dear 317,
Dear 317,
Learning is fun. I can’t wait to make my own site for my photography.
I wasn’t really that serious when I said I like long walks on the beach and staring up at the stars.
Does anyone have any good movie recommendations for me? I’m documenting all of the new films I see in 2009. Old, new, funny, sad… Etc.
THANKS!
