Color Photography - Assignment 1

You can go here, to see the photos from my first assignment for my color photography class :)

First Project Overviews

As the first week of school has ended, I have started on my projects for my design classes already! WHOO! For both my 225 class and 210 (Digital page design and Illustration) we are doing animal projects. For my illustration class we are making line, gestalt and closed shape illustrations of an animal of our choosing. I chose to do the Adelie Penguin. When I think of a penguin I think of the iconic cartoon black and white penguin, which mostly resembles the Adelie Penguin. Emperor Penguins have yellow on them, therefore I dont think of them as the most iconic penguin. You can see below some of my process work for that project. :)

The project for 225 (I have yet to start), will be info graphics about an animal of our choosing. Which, of course I will also be using the Adelie Penguin :) Penguins are my favorite animal, and I am happy I can include them in my school work. Updates will be put up once I start the project :) Thanks for reading!

Winter 2013 Term

As my second day (now the 4th... been pretty busy this week) of the Winter 2013 term is ending (starting :) ), I am pretty excited for this term. Mondays and Wednesdays I have work then 2 classes, Color Photography and my UNST (University Studies) class. My color photography teacher is pretty awesome, and already stated that anyone taking 3 studio classes is crazy.... yep that's me though he didn't  know he was talking about me when he said it. My UNST class Knowledge, Values and Rationality seems like it will be better than my Family Studies class I took last term. The teacher is an older gentleman, and he is pretty funny, very animated and goofy... but in a good way. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have my two design classes, Art 210 in the morning, which is Illustration, then after that work, and right after work I have my Art 225 class which is Digital Page Design. I definitely will have my work cut out for me! Its going to be a busy term, but gauging from last term I decided I wasn't going to work as many hours, which will give me more time to do some hopefully awesome design work for my classes, which in turn, can be used in my Portfolio for the Spring. yay..... :)

I will be working out multiple times a week, and definitely want to make time for that. Since I had Mono last term, pretty bad, I thought working out would just kill me even more and make me exhausted. SO, this term I am going to start getting in shape!!
