I am spending the day printing!!! I will be so relieved after this is all finished! Good year! On to my next adventure!!

Road

And the road continues, the completed project is due two weeks so I better get to work. I made a good amount of progress today and will be working tonight. I am feeling better about the images and hope to finish up soon, so I can start on the process book layout!!

Playtime...

 My focus is to move in a very creative and direction . I want to make sure all of the covers look very different so I can come up with the best work possible. So far things are good I just have to make sure that my cover says just enough but not too much.

TIME

Work on Playtime is going well, I am still learning in Illustrator and have also made progress on my design skills. My designs for Tuesday are 8 computer generated images of covers. Hopefully I am able to portray enough of the movie, even though it is pretty random! School will be over soon and I have to finish everything up before I run out of time!!!!

Playtime

Today we learned more in depth about Graphic Design and how important it is to tell just enough with your visuals. I am happy with my movie choice of PLAYTIME and feel that it will bring a successful final product. Also Tad spoke about passion projects and really taking the time to do those projects that you create on your free time. I wish I had more time to do all the ideas that fill my mind and hopefully I will have some this summer! I am also already thinking about my process book, for the end of this project!

One size fits most...

Almost finished!!! Wrapping up the project and about to start a new one on Thursday! I will have to do my homework in the car though, because we are driving up to Wisconsin for Easter!!! Anyways I have learned a good amount and am happy with my final two posters.

HARD WORK

Almost finished with the Info graphics, have class on Tuesday but am so pumped for the Jayhawks! Lawrence is such a vibrant town and especially when our hawks win! I have learned a lot during this project and am glad to have had a graphics class.

SHOCK. SINGE. SURGE

Still working very hard on the Info graphics and now it is time for even more refinements. I have to get all of this done before I go to work today! Crazy having two jobs and school but I make do. I am going to play around around with color combinations and refining all four posters.

New Project: Infographics= Electricity

So I began my homework after class on my info graphics. I started turning my sketching into illustrator files and the pressure began to build! I am not a graphics student and there are so many options, I don't know which direction to turn!! I am going to work my butt off to get all of these done, and hopefully they turn out well!!

I decided last minute to take a trip home to Wichita this weekend. I drove back on Friday and just about missed my Dad's show. It was a Final Friday show that ended at 7pm and my brother and I made it just in time. The show was titled "Tea for Two". In collaboration with another artist who paints they displayed a show full of color and human emotion. While installing the show, my Dad was asked to write an artist's statement and he picked up a piece of paper and wrote this statement:

I MAKE DO:

  make     believe

  make  it up

  make     noise

  make  a  mess

  make     friends

  make  it simple

  make     mistakes

  make  a  scene

  make     fun

  make  it happen

  make     time

  make  a  difference

The woman running the show took the sheet of paper mounted it and hung it up. My Dad thought she would have retyped it or something. But I think she saw the raw emotion in it and it fit, hanging their up in the wall.

While in Wichita I also went to this huge flea market that was full of junk and also interesting gadgets and works.

Finishing up on the Rabbit project, I am going to try and print it all today so we will see how that goes. Usually if you think it will take 20 min it will take 2hrs......

The final project was revealed today and now it is off to make some good work! I went to Jayhawk Ink to ask them some questions before I try and go print. Overall I really enjoyed this project and can't wait to show my family what I came up with, since they have been a part of this project giving me feedback.

soup

I am on track so far, still trying to pin down a name for the truck and then on to a slogan. I just finished making some inspiration boards and am going to go do some thumbnail sketches. By Friday I should have a idea to be able to mold and critique.

Rabbit STUFF

I had a great talk with my dad the other day about rabbits and his art group called the Ginger Rabbits. We talked about the food truck and where I was headed with that idea. One of the ladys in his group owns a soup kitchen called Tanya's Soup Kitchen.  I told my Dad that I wanted to do a soup truck and he mentioned that Tanya ( who is the pottery specialist of the group) was originally going to have her restaurant  be in a food truck!!

I have been brain storming for the past couple days and am going in a good direction. I feel like my dominating shape in this design will be circles. Above is a sketch I did referring to the rabbit as the man in the moon.

Moon

So many great marks with the pencil! I have enjoyed this project and can't wait for our next challenge on Tuesday! My favorite on this page would have to be the Man on the Moon. This is a reference about a rabbit being a man in the moon in Asian folklore, look it up!

Friends and Inspiration

I visited with my friend Emily Mullett this weekend, we had a
wonderful talk about this project and her Junior year in Graphic Design.
We are now on to the second half of 60 drawings and I am pushing forward.
It helped to get some inspiration from Emily and I hope my project looks as
creative as hers did. I feel like mine is going in a good direction and I may being

understanding the rabbit a bit better
