Part of the job..

Class today has been pretty eventFULL of extra assignments we're required to do. I have to now make changes to my old animation that I did last semester as part of my animation current class + create a new one + create a story reel + work on a faculty DVD. It is a ton of work...but it's part of the job. All I have to do is stay focused and know that in the end, I'll be done with each of them. I'm really looking forward to my new animation nonetheless. I'll post some ideas about that soon. Can't wait to go over to the office to work on all of this!

Always workin'!

Well, it's Sunday, and I've been in the office for about 5 hours now. Still a lot more work to go. So far, I've finished the older version of the Gratitude Journal for Suicide Prevention, a Save the Date, Announcement, and a ticket design for the 4-H Youth Development Organization. Now I'm starting on some personal logo sketches and mural sketches for Hamilton Recreation Center's Treasure Island babysitting room. Quite a day! But I never mind it.

The beginning of Graphic Design for me

Here are a few things I did in the beginning of Graphic Design school. Suffice it to say I have much improved. The first two are posters and the third image is a design I did of a shooting shirt for the WNBA Silver Stars.

I'm a bit backwards

Don't worry if you can't figure out how to navigate my blog. I'm a bit backwards in that I started it for animation class and now I want to add all kinds of work to it. I'll categorize them to the best of my ability. Just for you.

Here is what I have been working on today. I have been going through my old family pictures in order to get some of my dad for my next animation. I have yet to go through family videos. Dad took pictures and filmed everything he could. I have a lot of material to cover.

Secondly, I came into work and am finishing up a logo for a client. Happy Pet Initiative is a wonderful non-profit that helps supply food to individuals who may not be able to purchase their own pet food in these hard economic times. It is such a great organization.

And now I am working on revamping my blog so that I can keep people up to speed on my work. I figure now is as good a time as any since I'm graduating soon. I'll add things as I go.
