New Semester....New schemes.....

Got another fun-filled semester ahead. Classes include Digital Media, Graphics Design, a Typography class and Sculpture/Fabrication.


Digital Media: Rehash of a lot of my GDesign work from high school and generic screwing around...still..... it'll be good to learn some new techniques and practice more. I need to get back into cranking out work in all media regularly.

Graphic Design: Intro course. I managed to up my credits for it (hopefully) but ill have to do more work. Its ok, more stuff to put in a portfolio. First project? Pretty much a repeat of my first high school GD assignment. Prolly gonna experiment in free class-time.

Typography: FUUUUUUUUU-/ Seriously. I just have a lot of bad experiences with "typographers". Not all of them are stuck-up elitist pricks, but unfortunately many i have met are. Which sucks because this class has potential to carry over to my graffiti and I also think I could teach some of the kids the free-styling aspect and that some of them could help me tighten up my standard letters. I'll just have to hope for the best. First project? Hand drawing and tracing letters of the "Clarendon" typeface. Pics to come.

Sculpture: Schedules right after type for a reason. Its an awesome stress reliever and it feels great to be working with my hands again. First piece I am making? A Pyro-worthy Ax, hand-carved from various woods using really old tools and techniques.


PLACES: its not one of my classes, but it is the club I am VP of. Itll be a fun year with this. Got plenty of workshops and lessons lined up and several rituals, basically once a week. Also hoping to get some photo-ops with that.



Got a shitton of other things going on to, but I think this is enough of my headspace for now//
