hello febuary!

Well hello second month of the year! You bring with you lots of work and new opportunities, and for that I thank you.

My semester has been going great so far. I'm finishing up my senior show theme this week for the final class vote next week. Mine is called "Methodology: our process & progress" and I am creating a poster with machinery all working together as a visual of our creative process. All the professors here really emphasize the process and how potential employers want to see how you came to your final design, so I thought I'd focus on that in my theme. I'm excited about it, as well as seeing all the other senior's finished designs. We have seven students in the Senior Portfolio class and we all have very distinct styles, which I think is a great thing. I'll post some images when it is more complete next week. If my theme is chosen, I'd like to also create animated videos to go along with it. Perhaps, I'll do it regardless since it would be nice to add more Flash based projects to my portfolio.
I'm feeling good about polishing my previous works, and creating new things from past ideas. We also have to create a Hero project, where we can do our dream project. It can be anything we want. Which is a bit daunting, but exciting. I've got a few ideas and will narrow them down in the next week. I'm also creating fun work for my Work Study job, like posters for the upcoming gallery shows and workshops. I'm really grateful for that job. It's so nice to have freedom when you're designing and also to be creating for other creatives!
The internship at redpepper is still going well. We have grown the program so that including myself, there are now 4 interns all from different schools. It's nice to collaborate with other students and to learn from one another. I just love going there so much.
I think this entire post has been a bit mushy, but I was feeling overwhelmed earlier and now I am just so freaking happy about my life. There is much to do and much to celebrate in the next few months.
Hope you're enjoying life too.
