Doing my Homevorks

No, that isn't a typo in my title. I'm just a bitch for mocking my Romanian teacher's accent. I called in sick at LaRok today. I think it's a stress induced illness. Scratch that, I know it's a stress induced illness. I'm overworked and thinking about the money necessary to pay back this educational endeavor scares the shit out of me every day to the point of my present sickness. Side note: I think my pinky is broken and has been for at least 2 weeks. Howevs, I don't have time to get it checked out. Ok, that's the end of my sadness. I'm kind of glad to be immunocompromised bear, because I get to get some of my homework done. Last semester I was bogged down, taking 8 classes and my gpa was subpar by my standards. This semester I know what's expected of me and I'm getting straight A's at the moment. Yay me. And my classes are all so fun and I'm going to be so sad when this semester is over. For my processes and skills class- basically an intro to graphic design- we've created ourselves as a brand, complete with logos, hangtags, and business cards. Here's the business card I made for homework, the mirrored r's are my logo (we had to include the bleed on the cards for the printer):My teacher's name is Nina, and she's from England. She says "Jolly good!" all the time and we get tea breaks! Also, her husband baked us cupcakes for our midterms. How cool is that?


I also love my technical drawing class. We make production flats in Illustrator. You may recall a few years ago when I wanted to marry Macromedia Flash. Well I change my mind, I want to marry the entire Creative Suite. We just have the same principles and ideals. I'm supposed to be working on a button down shirt while I'm typing this but shit's not working out.
Anyways, we had to create a collection of 4 basics in 2 colorways for the midterm. Here's one of the colorways:And in silkscreen. Don't even get me started on the sheer coolness that is silkscreen class. I wanted to print a Ryan McGinness, but my teacher wanted me to alter his perfect works. I see why, Ryan's medium is silkscreen so it would just be a plagiaristic reproduction. But that was just one of my phenomenal ideas, so instead I'm printing this in CMYK:I have to make 20 but only turn in 2 so if you want one, holla! I'll post pictures after I do the screens which should be next Monday morning if I wake up for it. So that's my life right now. TTYLZ!
