About Design

Last semester, I was in a different design class than I am this semester. Think and Make is a lot more challenging, but I think it's going to be much more helpful in the long run. Our wayfinding project is a little confusing at first, but I think we've gotten it smoothed out now. Our project is this: a new Art History student is assigned a research project on a specific piece of work in the Spencer Museum of Art. He must find his way from the lecture auditorium to the boook of information in the 20th century gallery, so he can do his research.

So far, this project seems pretty easy... but I guess we'll see.

The First Day

Today is the first day of Spring Semester classes for me. I had Life Drawing this morning, but no one brought their supplies, so we didn't draw. I guess this blog is supposed to be there to let us post our inspirations and trains of thought... Sunflowers. I have a bunch of dried ones on my desk. They're beautiful, even dried. Always sunny and bright, and I guess that's a good way to describe what inspires me. Stuff that lasts, and is beautiful throughout it's entire existence. Also the elements; I know it's an overdone topic, but there's just something about the basics of life that I find interesting.

College is a means to an end. My end (hopefully) is working at an animation studio, preferably Disney-Pixar. I always have this goal in the back of my mind when I create something, and my projects usually have some aspect that can be transfered to the computer, to further inspire me. It's like Scrabble; just keep adding letters to previous words to create new ones.

And that's all for the first day of school!
