my online quarters: design + life

One semester and winter break have passed rapidly and starting today, I enter my second semester of school at CalArts. I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I recently wrote about practicum and the Antoine + Manuel workshop which we just finished. By we, I mean my two fellow class mates, Chris Burnett and Pierre Nguyen who collaborated with. The project turned out great, it took a lot of patience and craft but we were able to work with the time constraints and material to create something beautiful. Having free time and doing cool projects with A+M is now over, class with Scott Zukowski is back in session. But before I get to what our first project in Graphic Design is, let me talk about the first FISK event we hosted last week. Some fellow students and I have been planning the ‘FISK Fiesta’ for quite sometime now. Of course the day we set it on, Friday the 5th, happens to be the only day it rains the entire week but with quick thinking we were able to have a change of venue. In the end the event turned out great – we had live music, a raffle and we exhibited work from a few of the practicums. Hope to have another event very soon.

My new project for Graphic Design is do an image series. I chose lighter as my object. Here are the directions for the project: define your subject, through of a series of images, words, shapes, & logos and present them in the form of a book. I’m excited for this project although I know it will be challenging in many ways, I’m eager for the obstacle.

Below I’ve listed my classes for the semester:
Graphic Design I
Dreaming as Unconscious Thinking
Design Issues
Publication Design
Intro to digital photo & video
Independent Study

Good night.
