So tomorrow is “finals” and I’m chillin. Despite the fact that I’ve spent the past few weekends living in the art building I have to say our actual finals day is always pretty nice. While most people are stressing over tests and stuff we just have to present our final stuff and eat cereal (if everyone remembers to bring things like they’re suppose to!) I think I’ve discovered the secret to stress free finals week: At least keep up somewhat the first part of the quarter but haul some serious ass durring week 8. Smooth sailing after that. Seems to work fairly well.
Updated Portfolio
Anyways, I’ve updated the portfolio site with stuff from this quarter! Exhibit Design and Interaction Design stuff. check it out if you’d like.
I think our exhibit turned out pretty well. Even though there were quite a few long 12+ hour days in the studio working on it, I had a good time working with Matt & Allyson. And I’m actually pretty happy with the “Warming Seasons” one, despite the fact that we only had like 2 weeks to build it out completely. The piggy one I am still a little unsure about, although everyone else seems to like it so I don’t know.
Still one more week of Motion Design stuff, but rest assured it will be online next week as well.
By Design
In other news, we saw the 8-bit movie at By Design on Saturday, which was pretty interesting. Opened up a whole new level of geekiness that I didn’t even know about. The other two things that night (panel & shorts) were also good, although I think they have been better in the past. It was kinda weird having 3/4 of the panelists be from DK, not that I don’t totally love all those guys. I just wish there was a little more representation from other places, though there aren’t a whole bunch around this area.
This is one of my favorites from the shorts. So simple & low tech, but nice:
