Nov 17 · I'm a photographer now

Heh…I owe you all an explanation, don’t I? :(

I have good reasons….
BUTTT excellent news, I have photoshop and now illustrator. I can begin making illustrator tutorials very soon :) I want to use some things from my web design class and incorporate them into the next layout, so that’s why I’m always slacking. I’m waiting til this dang assignment is over so I can take what I learned and apply it. This isn’t like math where they teach us how to find degrees or whatever the hell triangles are made of and then you forget everything because you watched an episode of american idol and simon made you cry.

Things in my life are right where I want them to be, for the first time ever. I don’t know how this is turning out for me but I’m kinda surprised. Waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come outta the freezer and be like PUNKDDDDD!!!!!!

My friend who is getting married entrusted me as her photographer, and I am SOOOO glad because I really needed to start on my portfolio, and this is just a wonderful stepping stone. I will be posting the pictures soon if you’d all like to see them. We took pre-wedding pictures yesterday and they came out amazing!! I was hoping to get an SLR, but my school does not rent them out so the next best thing was the canon g9. I was nervous using that camera because I’ve seen how well the SLR’s are, and well, still cameras I was not so sure of…but with the power of photoshop and my great photo editing skillz I was able to come up with an amazing outcome, and she loved it :) The canon g9 is an amazing little camera. I think I’m considering buying it sooner or later. It’s purely amazing..

I’ll be doing photographs for the actual wedding day aswell as the video for it. It’s a lot of work but I’m excited about it. This is what I love to do.
I love to design, but of course designing comes later on in my life. Every other day some 17 yr old gets married in this city – that’s money in the BANKKK if I can dominate the whole ‘design/photography/video’ field for weddings. I have to start somewhere, right?

Nov 12 · I don't care about a B+ or an A

I’m pretty much fed up with school. I’m going along my own theories and from now on I’m not going to care what teacher gives me which grade.

No matter how hard I work, I’m always going to get a B+ in vis com. Oh and completely disregard the fact that I’m probably the only person getting a B+, while everyone else is breezing by with an A and they don’t even know how to use photoshop, aswell as place type on a page properly. I’m kind of insulted actually, but it’s okay. Maybe I should feel special I’m the only one with a flimsy B.

Even the teacher said it.
It doesn’t matter how hard you work.

Then what matters?!

I’ve given up my hopes for a 4.0 this semester, the dream was pretty close considering I’m doing very well in my other classes. I’m sick of asking why I got a 4/6 on CONCEPT/IDEA and CREATIVITY and seeing no changes when I put forth extra work into everything. How on EARTH could I be marked down for lack of creativity??????? Based on whose perception of creativity? DAMNIT!!!! I COULD THINK OF A STORY OF A UNICORN UNDERWATER RIGHT NOW AND PULL SOME HARRY POTTER CRAP LAND A MILLION DOLLAR BOOK DEAL AND BUY THE SCHOOL THEN BULLDOZE IT AND REPLACE IT WITH A GIANT WATERSLIDE.

HOW IS THAT FOR CREATIVITY???

Trust me when I say that I don’t know how half the people got into this school. Seriously. I guess they just need the monies~

Anyway I figure employers don’t really care whether you get a B+ or an A+ in a class, as long as your work is good and you can give them what they want, you’re hired :)

I’ll be working on a layout once I get photoshop installed. AND IM SORRY ABOUT THE BLEND CHALLENGE. I promise I will post results tonight (after new episode of the office!!).
BEWARE SCHOOL.
