2/27 Jimmy is absent

Okay, so Jimmy is sick as a dog and doesn't show up. So the class decides do a critique, well Jimmy told us to. It was interesting to say the least. I think the class if very typical of undergrads, they see things they want to and are train to and some times miss the big picture of things. It went well, I kinda stopped my critiques and let them help each other.

2/29 Project #2 Presentation

SO I thought that went pretty well for our group. Our ads looked OK, not great I have to agree, but great concept. WHEEL-ALITY was a hit with Jimmy. Also the psychology behind the imagery and ads were also a hit, I think...:). The class did some interesting work, not all were great, some had a lot of potential, other needed help, typical class. Oh finally got some descent shoes to wear...ha.

3/7 Looking over concepts and briefs

So we had some direction with our concepts, we approached it from the idea of growth. Really want the graphics to look progressive since it's about the graphic design department and program. We have a pretty cool looking poster design, I think, and excited about the project. The technical video making is another story but the concept and design is coming along.  We are approaching it front the perspective of inner growth of the nature man and the technical side as well. Graphic design is more than just art, its has so much to do with language and logics, but we can never ignore the arts. The creativity drives us and the logics holds our ideas in place. Hope that makes sense.

3/12 Reviewing progress

So today we looked over peoples videos, some were good starts, some needed help. Ours was not as good, had some technical difficulty with softwares updates and usage issues.  The weekend went pretty good, went to the AIGA portfolio review. I had been a fan of the speakers company for a while now, MODERN DOG. Robynne was pretty cool and had some fun stuff to say. I will have to write about it.
Hope you peeps are doing well and I won't be in class Wednesday cause I have to go to court. Have a great weekend and I'll see you all at the FINALS!
