WatchMy “two things Photoshop was NOT meant to do assignment.”
(3D and video)
My "everything Photoshop was NOT built to do"...
Photoshop was not meant for 3D rendering. Why they took that even farther, and set up 3D animation: I have no clue. It’s not fun. It crashes. You re-do a single motion approx. 15 times before the computer registers that you wanted it to do something.
So I’ve made the decision that I want to learn sign language, and once I graduate I want to teach art to the hearing impaired. Not a full time job, just maybe 1 day a week.

I clearly need to look into getting a time management book. Last weekend before finals and I’m going to be running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off after work. Are printers even opened downtown on weekends?
New favourite design term.
Synesthesia (syn·es·the·sia)
[sin-uhs-thee-zhuh, -zhee-uh, -zee-uh]
a sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality, as when the hearing of a certain sound induces the visualization of a certain color.
“You’re looking mighty synesthetic today.”
I particularly like how spell check doesn’t recognize it.
Success!
Completed my Colour & Design final yesterday. Everyone from the class before me complained it was difficult… I was worried… but pfftt 95%, I’m happy with that!

Two potential logo designs.
This one still needs some polishing, but you get the general idea.
The next is possibly my favourite. We did a lot of perspective drawing in class last semester so I figured I would put it to use. It’s my initials, a “b” and an “l”

Success. (In pieces)
So I have concepts in place for both of my final projects this semester. I know where I’m going with each of the websites, just need to implement my concepts. Going all out for both… using all the tools available and the most difficult techniques I’ve learned so far. One of the websites is going to be using the 3D tools of Photoshop, and the other will use Illustrator vectors and...
3D will be the death of me.
My Photoshop just crashed while rendering a really difficult 3d element I made for my friends website and my final project. I want to scream.
The absolute worst time to have a creativity block = in the middle of final assignments.

Baby steps.
Coming to the end of my second semester of college now, and it feels like time is flying! Overall I felt this semester was good. However it will be nice next semester when classes start to get more advanced. I feel like I’ve been using the beginner skills for years now. Time to move on to something more exciting! (Like typography, which I’m quite excited for.)
Despite how quick time...
