halloween and hell week
halloween was a complete success! despite the homework and the stress of throwing a party, i had such a great weekend. everyone had so much fun!
it was a good thing that i had such a wonderful weekend because this week was awful. stressful to the max. i had three projects due this week. wednesday, thursday and friday. and to top it all off, i broke my computer on monday night. yup. that’s right. dropped it. it fell right off my lap when i was sitting on the couch. when i picked it up, half of the screen was white. 🙁 it worked great, but i could only see half the screen. it was a fun week to say the least. there’s always a few of these throughout the year. and yet again i survived! woo! it is now friday night and i can sleep!
i had a project due for illustration, graphic design 3 and web design 2. in illustration we had to create a repetitive pattern and then create a product with it. i made a headband with a bow and some gloves. the headband turned out really cute! i actually wanted to wear it around! haha
in graphic design 3 we are rebranding/designing gift bags for a museum. i am doing the southern food and beverage museum (i’m just a little in love with the south). we had to make all of our packaging (gist bag, gift card, poster bag and tissue paper) at half size. it was kind of like a test run. it worked out pretty good. i still have to rework some of my designs but i feel pretty good about it!
and lastly, my flash banner ads for web design 2. i made ads for the company i am rebranding in my corporate design class, guayaki yerba mate tea. the ads need a little reworking too. but i got some good feedback about my concepts. so that’s good. i am just glad that this week is over and i don’t have so many projects hanging over my head. and i can move into this weekend and start checking off all of the other things on my list. let’s just hope that this week isn’t as crazy as the past one!
