That's all folks!
First year of my degree complete. It's funny how immediate you can feel less stressed. As soon as I had handed over my folder, it was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoudlers.
Now it's the waiting game.
Results are in the first week of July, and I know Im not going to do as well as I want to, but that is something that I will work on ready for the second year.
Strike Two
Second hand-in is all done. This was for History of Modern Graphic Design and I admit I am not happy. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I couldn't get all that I wanted to be done, done, so I had a bit of a mope last night [AAW]
Had my last tutorial for Ideas Generation before hand-in on Friday.
Not good.
Ever get into a situation and you wish that you were just told in the beginning...
*sigh*

ROLL ON FRIDAY 11AM DRINKS ALL AROUND!
Strike One
After a very long night my first round of hand-ins is done.
Type as Image, which has turned out to be my favourite this semester, is all over!
I was worried about my time management but thanks to some good habits in January, I had most of my module book already complete. It was trying to figure out Adobe Premier at 3am with a rapidly slowly computer that did me over...
Really pleased with my Blurb pages [CAN'T GO WRONG WITH MACRO SHOTS] and hopefully the entire classes finals will be published.
I have volunteered to help put together the book...being able to organise text and images for a book is a handy skill to have I think!
Images to be posted later today.

Postponed
I realise although I have been trying to keep uptodate with reading blogs, I haven't actually updated my own for a while.
We have 2 weeks left of the semester [AND THE END OF YEAR ONE] and things are getting manic in the studio...more appropriately, the flat. I have completely ramsacked the place with sketchbooks and papers and pens and pencils and many many To-Do-Lists.
Thus my poor deglected blog!
Roll on the 21st, being my last hand-in day and the unveiling of my Summer Resolutions.

Foody design
I love food.
I love design.
Things like this make me smile.
One day I WILL create some edible design.

Dear Typography
We're looking alot at Typography this semester, with two classes involving it at the moment. This is something I didn't know about, or was really bothered about it. I am a changed girl. I always knew it was a fundamental part of Graphic Design [DOY] but what I didn't realise was that there are alot of interesting things that come with it.
And I've noticed that I'm noticing more typography in life! Love this by The Birds and The Beasts.

FOUND VIA DESIGN IS MINE BLOG
Justice Served
One part of our Ideas Generation project, and Type as Image for that matter, is to create a video animation as a type of advertisment for what we have created
I don't know about the other students, but I am NOT an animation kind of girl. I dropped it at ND for textiles. So naturally, I was freaking out. STILL AM A LITTLE BIT
Then I played this video and had a few ideas of what I could do...possibly.

Turning into a Twit...
I don't really get Twitter.
I have had no interest in reading the random [SORRY, ERM POINTLESS] ramblings of bored students and office employees, however, I have found a very interesting one.
This is the Twitter-feed-thing [HEH] of Jim Balakshin who won last year's Rethink Scholarship, which I blogged about in my last post.
I think perhaps it's because it relates to me as a designer that I appreciate this Twitter, or maybe because I have a very-quickly-developing-into-obsessive fascination with art blogs. More likely, it's due to the fact the Graphic Design is still new to me, and I am loving finding out more about it.
Who are your favourites designers or designs?

Design Inspiration
Found this video via a new blog by a fellow Print and Pattern reader, Amanda Lincoln.
It is perfect inspiration for all designers, and aswell as being a source of inspiration, it's one of those things you just have to have on your bookshelf [ALTHOUGH I DONT THINK ITS AVAILABLE TO BUY]
Rethink Scholarship at Langara 2010 Call for Entries from Rory O'Sullivan and Simon Bruyn on Vimeo.
It makes me think of the ABC pop-up book I actually got the chance to look through, thanks to Lindsay, and our Manifesto Project.
