Saturday, February 20, 2010 Fundamentals to Advertising And Graphic Design   2nd Period. Mk. So I'm really starting to like Ad1. Like a lot. I learned how to make glass the other day (as a comp image, from scratch) and my teacher wants me to take her advanced course. Very sweet, no? We're working in Illustrator right now. It's cool. Image with the circles and stuff is an illustration of how I experiment with technique. I think pretty soon I'll be able to make the art that I draw, on the computer (detailing, I'll post later). Anywho. That image of randomness is one I took and made big, added a ton of stuff, and it's gonna be my mama's desktop wallpaper ^_^. She asked for a cool one...So yah. I feel special. The Tinker Bell was our cartoon assignment. We had to pick something animated (Mickey Mouse, Hello Kitty, etc.) and recreate it. I did Tinker Bell of course. But then I got bored and made another one where she was totally punked out. I love it :D Laterr. Btw. These pics were taken on my phone. Maybe I should start saving the actual images :/
Sunday, February 14, 2010 Happy SAD! :D I will always refer to February 14th as SAD. I get that like...I'm not quote "single". But. It's still Singles Awareness Day to me. ^_^ We all know that "Valentines Day" is some kind of economical scam, created for the candy industry. They used a cover up though. In ancient Rome, February 14th was a day of worship for the god Juno, who I refer to as Hera (the Greek goddess of marriage; wife of Zeus). Obviously, some random flower company picked that up and ran with it and voila! A "holiday" completely devoted to what our disastrous race calls "love". It's genius. :D Genius I tell you. So Happy Singles Awareness Day Everyone!!!
Now. Valentines Day, to me is not a holiday. SAD is though. But I don't celebrate it...in fact...I don't celebrate many holidays. Halloweens fun for the parties, but the whole Celtic death/life thing kinda throws me off. New Years would be a lot better if I was 21--but it's cool nonetheless. And "Easter" (Pesach, as in the anniversary of passover) is pretty cool when it's celebrated right, as in minus all the pagan root and tradition. Same with Christmas. But I'm not big on presents, so Christmas is no big deal. Anniversaries make sense to me, birthdays make sense. Black History Month, not so much. And Mothers Day? Come on. Mardi Gras can BMA and 420 started in California (shocker), so if you think it's an actual holiday--well that's indicative that you celebrate it :). I used to love 4th of July, that makes sense to me. And Veterans Day--definitely makes sense. I love honoring my country :). I really don't even know what Labor Day is and I imagine I'd think it's useless if I did. Not sure why kids get out of school for Milk Day (Martin Luther King Jr Celebration) and it'd make a whole lot more sense if they got us out the day after Super Bowl. Because. Well. We all know that the Super Bowl is in fact a holiday :).
There's my two cents. Laterr. <3 Thursday, February 04, 2010 Second Period.  So. I'm taking Fundamentals in Advertising Design. And well. It's boring. But every once in a while I make something kinda cool. I get bored a lot...and am left to my own creations--and sometimes the assignments are pretty cool. I'll try to post stuff from time to time, and maybe even some of my Indie artsy-stuff if I feel like it. :] <--this pic is actually taken on my mobile phone. I made the design in a random act of boredom in Adobe Illustrator. I was kinda proud simply because...well...I think it's pretty :D. For Veterans Day we had to make a collage. I had fun with mine ^_^.  Click the image to see it bigger-ified.
Tuesday, February 02, 2010 I googled myself. And. It was really sad. I found old stuff, from wayy long ago. I've been Internet-savvy since I was 7 years old. There's a lotta record of my social networking activities. I of course found my blog, vimeo, twitter, tumblr, basic stuff when I googled myself. But on the next page I saw Xanga. O_o Oh My Gosh. I had xanga! Everyone had xanga! I saw my comments and all this stuff from when I was just a little girl! I was in like, 5th grade! I even found links to the forum from that little period of time *shiver*. I sorta got addicted to an online chat site. We don't talk about it. I found old pics of me, and accounts on things I don't even remember signing up for. It was...weird. I'unno...like I've trashed a lotta my stuff from the old days, pictures and things. But what I put on the Internet is still there. It kinda hurt. But it was freakin' awesome at the same time :D. I'm not into sentimentality and all that gushy stuff...but it was weird. I could read things I had said, actual dialogue that I have no memory of whatsoever. Those little details that were my every day life and I don't even remember them...I can just see them. It. Was. Weird. My blog's been around for like--5 years. So if I ever wanna know what I did at some random time, I can see the basic gist. But it's not pictures, it's not conversations. They're stories. Seeing a good number of years laid out on in a search engine--it's freaky. I saw some old pictures on my facebook, which I've had since 7th grade. That's a loooong time. There were some pics from a couple years ago of Bre and I, when we were in Bella Vista. Arkansas used to be so pretty! I'd forgotten how pretty this place was! The trees, the colors, the rocks. It's not like that anymore. I had some good times too. That doesn't happen as often anymore. My friends either got into drugs, got pregnant, or just..disappeared. My best friends have of course stayed with me this whole time (Leta and Jova) and we have a blast every time we hang out, but a lot of other people have just come and gone. I don't take those crazy pictures anymore or write on my "xanga" about how cool my newest "bestie" is. It just doesn't work that way. I like how things are, I really do. But I didn't realize how much things had changed again so quickly. So yeah. I'm that much of a geek--I don't have scrapbooks to go through. I have to google myself. Wow. :/ Hahaha. |
