Finals are Finalized.
I'm currently sitting in the Graphic Design/Paul Rand Lounge at school waiting to see one of my instructors so I can give her a disk of my work. I've got about an hour more, unless I see her walk by, then I'll stalk her.
I haven't exactly slept in a few days because of finals. In fact, I even managed to squeeze in going to a Giants game last night. EVERYONE is wondering how I managed that, especially since I still had class this morning. (I actually stayed at the game until the top of the 8th. I HATE THOSE DAMN HOUSTON ASTROS!) But, I managed...somehow.
I was rushing like no other this morning. I had to get my process book binded, get a project printed out since my large format printer broke (I bought a new printer last night just to get by, only a small format regular everyday printer), AND get to class before Mary Scott, the director of undergraduate Graphic Design here at Academy of Art, came to class. I was 20 minutes late. BUT I MADE IT.
So, I'm pretty much terrified of her, but on my grade report sheet, my instructor wrote that she loved my work even though she didn't understand some of it. Haha. My instructor actually wrote "She will be watching you!" on the grade report. THAT GOT ME EXCITED! I ended up getting a B+. Which is pretty freakin sweet, especially at this school.
Anyway, here's the work from my final assignment from that class.
So basically, we had to plan an event. My event was based on the UK show Skins. I decided to do a US premiere party for the show. I drew out a picture of the event hall, but it looks like crap so I'm not uploading it.
The first image is the poster giveaway that you get at the event, along with a DVD (the second image) of the first episode. And the third and fourth images are of the invitation you get in the mail. So, it's just like a postcard with a front and back.
All the "comps" were presented like the DVD page looks. I actually did 5 versions of the poster and 5 versions of the invitation, each one based around a different character(s). I'm super proud of this project and how it came out. My instructor really like the poster. I LOVE the poster, I'm thinking about getting that printed to put up on my wall.
I guess that's it for now. BTW I got an A- in my Typography class. FLIPPIN SWEET.
