More Graphic Design

Our current assignment for Graphic Design is to make an interchangeable dessert menu for a fictional restaurant dreamed up by the Professor called Granny's House. Basically it has to be made so that pictures of the desserts can be switched out whenever the special changes. This menu would be a tri-fold display on every table.

I whipped this out in one class period!

More about this later

This an image from yesterdays storm.. yes that is hail.

Dinner to Go

I didn't feel like cooking anything, and wanted something wih lots of veggies so I decided to go to Subway for dinner. I also felt the need to take advantage of the nice weather; so I elected to walk to Subway, and then eat at home. It was a nice walk, I observed some rather clumsy pugs in a gated yard. One was walking around the porch where a lady was seated and it randomly tumbled off the porch backwards. Then it figured out I was walking by so it came charging through the yard only to be sent somersalting by a patch of some kind of tall grass. After recovering it then tried to put itself through the fence which looked pretty uncomfortable. There was also an encounter with a sprinkler that was hidden behind an office sign. Overall it was a nice fun walk and took about 35 minutes.

Not Bad

Today was not quite as nice as yesterday which was about as perfect as it gets when it comes to weather. I spent about 2 hours outside chasing around soccer balls watching the womens (and a few guys) team play with the latest recruit.
Thursday also means newspaper day! I actually look forward to reading the paper now that I contribute to it. The picture with this is my little feat of joy. I am already wondering if I will be able to continue shooting when I transfer to Park next fall. Either way I will still be out there especially for soccer season. Watching that game from the photo was kind of awkward I felt like I should be rooting for both teams.

Warm!

Yes, I am pretty excited about the temperature expected today. So excited I had to dig out a nice flower photo to go with it! It could get as warm as 86 degrees outside. I am going to go watch a new recruit play this afternoon who as the coach says is "very good"; a rather ominous yet positive description.
Things have been busy as usual here; yesterday was advising day so there were no classes. I spent the entire day working on my project for 2-D Design so I don't have to stay through my one class on Friday. The mens soccer team has another tournament this weekend and the movie "The Watchmen" comes out so this will be a very entertaining weekend!

2 for 1

Two posts are better than none, and better than one! Since the last one did not have a photo I felt compelled to add another. These are

two of my 2-D design pieces from this semester; my two latest ones are on the "wall of fame" still. I am kind of bummed that one of them is upside down on the wall, but oh well. These are made from paper, card stock, and foam board. They are not very easy to photograph either..

The top one (blue) is our Monochromatic (one color) study, and the bottom one was an Analogous study. Until our last project we were not allowed to create anything recognizable.

Another sport bites the dust

So I was strangely excited that Sterling's first Tennis match was supposed to be today. I emailed the coach to find out where they play since could be either the college or highschool..no reply. Before heading to the weekly newspaper meeting I noticed that there were no people gathered around the Tennis courts so I decided to pop into the coach's office to see if the games were cancelled. I didn't know if Tennis is one of those "fair" weather sports and it is still pretty chillly today. (After all they cancelled Baseball & Softball already due to weather - thank goodness because it was too cold to stand out there with the camera.) After a brief conversation I discovered that the Tennis season had been scrapped, for reasons unknown to me still.
Strangely this is second sport that has mysteriously disappeared since I've been here at Sterling. Womens golf vanished without a word from anyone, not even a courtesy email to the students. I just happened to be perusing the web site one day to see that it had been removed.
This College has an interesting habit of causing things and people to go away.
