Finally!

Spring break has finally arrived and so far is looking very relaxing. Our teachers were wonderful and didn't pile too much work on us.

Type - no drop cap, poster, inspiration, or process due.. but I'll probably do it anyways. We just have to fix up our posters and start on the grid system. I'll probably find a day this week and just go poster crazy! Hopefully, I'll be able to start working on including analog because I've wanted to do that I just have always felt too rushed!

Form - Photo form is our new assignment which is somewhat based off our sonic form. We are going to create a "book" using photos of an object, person, or place and create a narration using the photos and form of the book alone. My inspiration for this project comes from graffiti artist Banksy! I love Banksy's little girl with the balloon and have been even considering getting a tattoo of it. Although I don't necessarily want a heart shaped red balloon, I'm gonna be buying lots of red balloons and spending way too much time photographing them. I'm trying to take as much as possible in as many different settings and times that I can. As for my sentence of narration I don't want to think too much about it yet just kinda wanna see what I get.

We also need to think of the form of the book, I have several ideas going about non-book looking books but I also really like the idea of a simple photo book such as the one below. So we'll see what happens.

Print - task for print is to bevel my edges of my plate (will have to wait till I get back to school) and make a drawing from observation. NOT FUN! Don't really know where I'm gonna go with it but I guess we'll see.

My goal for spring break - RELAX and get organized. So many hectic things and not enough time to figure them out.
