The days are beginning to get warmer, and breezy.  Summer is coming! In South Carolina Spring goes by like the wind, and before we know it Summer has arrived.  The long sunny days are coming.  I love the freedom summer brings. School has come to an end for most and people are taking vacations and spending time outdoors with their families.  There is nothing better than this. Finals week is coming to a close for me, i have finished my two important finals (English and Math) as of today.  What i mean by important is that i actually had to take a test or write papers for three hours.  The only two i have left are design finals on Saturday and then again on tuesday afternoon.  After that school will be over and everyone will be going their seperate ways.  Its bitter-sweet in the end, because some of the people leaving are not returning next semester.  But, I am learning more and more every day that things happen for a reason, and that their is a season for everything.  Sometimes God brings people into our lives just for a season to teach us something that no one else could.  Then they leave as quick as they came, like the wind almost.  I thank God for all these blessings He has put in my life, each and every one of them has taught me many things.  I have learned so much this semester it is unreal, and I cherish every moment of it.
Peace Out <3

End of the Semester :(

These are my last logos that i did for this semester....hope u like them.  So, this is the official last week of school...period. Finals are this week and then we all part ways for the summer time.  I'm going to actually miss it alot, the classes, the business, the people...I'm gonna miss it all.  My second semester has been trivial, but very good, and I'm glad i got through it.  It was a great experience.  Our last projects were the paper on how a computer works and the logo competitions.  I have finished the logo competitions but im still working on the paper.  They are both due by saturday, and im set to finish them on time.  These design classes have been great, i have learned so much its incredible.  I feel really comfortable using illustrator as well as all the standard programs on a computer.  I really am proud of all of the class for getting through this semester, we did a great job and we worked hard and had a TON of fun! I'm going to miss all of the awesome friends i have made. Hopefully over the summer i will be able to work more and save up for a few things.  I want to try and get a job that deals with designing and such, but we'll see what happens.  I'll try to blog over the summer some too :)
Peace Out!

Logo maniacs!!!

So, the above logos are my designs for a web agency called Sticky Lizard.  For our last assignment in Design Class we were instructed to pick three logo contests to enter into on 99 designs website.  I chose to enter into one for Sticky Lizard, and Violeto Flowers (which is a flower company).  I have to do one more but im not sure which to pick.  I really enjoyed doing both of these, they taught me alot more about logo design.  When i decide on my next logo ill post it up here.  The rest of my week is going to hectic to the extream! I have a huge research paper to write before monday and it has to have at least 5 sources.  Then on top of that i have another research paper for design class where we have to basically write a paper that is 10-20 pages long and describe what goes on in a computer from the time u start it up to the time you shut it down.  So, i will def be doing that tomorrow some.  And! on top of that i have a math test tomorrow that i am going to be studing for tonight while i babysit.  So this should be a fun and eventful week (just kidding).
Peace Out (if i ever make it back)

Little monsters!

This week has been great so far! I gave an oral presentation monday morning for english, and it went really well.  However today, i finished our basic shapes project...which i will post sometime tomorrow or thursday when im in class. After i was done with that, our professor assigned us a new project.  The task is to create our own little animated monster using illustrator! They are all soo cute!! I decided to sketch my ideas out before i actually started and i might do more than one.  But, i chose to do a little green monster with a blue eye and red shoes. He has one eye and he is fuzzy and happy!  I think i want to make a stuffed animal out of him when im done :). So anyway, i got through about half of the little monster project today and the other half ill finish in the first class on thursday or tomorrow.  After im dont ill post a picture of him so you guys can see :) I cant beleive that we only have 2 weeks of school left before the end of the semester! Im going to be officially done with my freshman year! This is crazy!
Peace Out!

Tuesday i ran into some serious difficulties on our assignment. We were given several tutorials to finish.  I started on one that teaches us to make a wooden-like background for a sign.  And well....I HATE IT!!! or it hates me, i cant figure it out.  I'm stuck at one spot and i just cant get past it.  I'm work'in at it but it really is annoying me.  Hopefully ill pick up on it soon.  Anyway, yesterday i got sunburn for the first time this spring.  It hurts! I spent a great portion of the day outside studying with Sarah by the lake in the middle of campus.  I was studying for my Art Apree test which was today.  Then we had lunch afterward, and then i went home.  It got really really hot outside yesterday but it was really nice.  On the agenda today was math class, the art test (which i think i did really good on btw) and then after my first design class I am going to the writing lab to get my paper looked over for tomorrow.  I'm a little nervous about that, but i think ill be okay.  Anyway, today isnt looking too good anyway with some other stuff that is going on outside of school, but ill get through it okay.
Peace Out!

Warmer Days

This past week is final showing the colors of spring, or as we south carolinians call it early summer.  The heat is rising, and the weather is beautiful! Its perfect time for going to the beach! Only, finals are around the corner and we also have to start doing this little thing called studing.  So, right now im writing papers for everything!  Hoping to turn in two projects for my Art Apree class a little early which would help alot.  Today in Design and Technology, Professor gave us our last assignment.  When he told us it was our last one, i immediatly assumed it was going to be a huge project, and it was.  We have to do a Design paper on how a computer system works, from the time that you boot it up till the time you open a file.  This is going to be a bit strenous on me because i dont know everything about computers.  As well as that, we were given three tutorials for our visual design class.  These type of tutorials are really alot of fun.  We are learning how to work more with Adobe Illustrator, but now its more in depth.  We are learning how to make signs with destressed text, which is incredibly fun!  These are due soon, but i dont know when, he didnt say i dont think. Mhmm. Ya, well anyway if im lucky me and Sarah will  be going to the beach to study tomorrow because we want to make studing more fun.  So if she is able then we will be leavin from school tomorrow with our books ready in hand to study Art Apree, Goverment, History, and Math.  So its going to be a fun day!
Peace Out!

Three weeks

Today i realized that we have three weeks of school left. THREE WEEKS!!?? Time flies by so fast these days!  Sometimes i wish it would all just slow down!  Well as far as projects go, I finished my Bridge Program project.  Instead of just one logo i did two different logos that are similar.  I like the way they turned out, i just dont know if that is what they are looking for or not.  Hopefully, mine will be good enough.  We had to be finished with that logo before the end of class today.  Professor assigned a new project today that most of us worked on during the last class.  We are learning about hte distress tool.  What it does is it takes text (like words) and makes them look weatherd. Its a really cool tool, and I could see how it would come in handy for certain things. Anyway, i started on that and have been playing around with it trying to learn more about it.  I finally made a schedule for my week so that i am completely organized.  Its soo helpful to have it planned out so that i know exactly what i need to accomplish each day.  The coolest thing that has happend this week is that my best friend has come down to visit for Easter!  She has perfect timing, cause I was really starting to miss her alot.  Easter sunday is this sunday, and Im really excited to celebrate what happend on that day.  My Lord and Savior rose from the dead after three days.  This is so meaningful because not only did He rise from the dead, but three days before Jesus died on a cross to save my sins, and save my soul from its deserved destination.  For this I am forever grateful, and will forever worship my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Peace Out
