So I have 3 Digital Art projects down.\u00a0 The next one is moving a little bit outside the creative realm and more into the graphic design realm.\u00a0 We need to create a retail package of some sort with the theme being something about self-improvement.\u00a0 For this project we will need to use a container template, design the packaging to fit in the constraints of the template, print the template and design on cardstock, and then cut and build the package.\u00a0 I’m not really looking forward to this as I know that graphic designers do some amazing and creative things, I’m not very good at it and I don’t particularly enjoy doing it.\u00a0 I’m going to spend the next few days just coming up with a theme and then selecting my template to work with the theme.\u00a0 Let’s hope\u00a0I can come up with something good so I can maintain my grade in the class.<\/p>\n
My last project was generally well received by my classmates when we did the discussion during the last class.\u00a0 I was not particularly satisfied with it, but perhaps my eye is being more critical than theirs.\u00a0 It isn’t a bad thing if I’m being more critical of it.\u00a0 As far as I can see, that critical eye will help me create the best piece I can.\u00a0 I’m anxious to receive the instructor’s critique about it.<\/p>\n
Work continues on my other 2 research projects.\u00a0 To be honest I didn’t get very far at all this weekend as far as those went as\u00a0I pretty much just played Dragon Age: Origins when I was at home.\u00a0 The good news is that I completed the game.\u00a0 Now on to other matters.<\/p>\n
I found out that I’ve completed the requirements for my AAS Management degree using the 2007-08 Academic Catalog.\u00a0 I completed these requirements but for some stupid reason never applied for graduation.\u00a0 That will be something I do this week in order to receive that degree at the end of the summer term here at the college.\u00a0 As far as my other goal, that’s in a little bit of a nebulous state right now.\u00a0 When I did some cross-comparisons of course numbers, I’m finding that the University of Houston does not have any corresponding numbers to some of the classes I’ve taken thus far (which really applies to my natural science and math credits).\u00a0 There are also a couple of questions I have concerning courses already taken.\u00a0 I plan to take a mini-term class in May in order to fulfill my Governmnet II requirement, but beyond that I’m going to need some guidance from the University on which direction I should go in the Fall semester.\u00a0 My biggest problem is finding time to get down to the University of Houston (I live on the NW side of the Houston, the UH main campus is about 10 miles south of downtown) and then finding the right person to speak with.\u00a0 I do know I need to get this figured out soon.<\/p>\n
Right now I’m on a campus library computer as my English class did not meet tonight.\u00a0 For the entire month of April we are doing presentations (for our research project) and nobody signed up for tonight (which is no wonder, it would have only given people ONE week to do a major research project).\u00a0 So now I guess I will get off here and head home to spend some time with my wife and my dogs.\u00a0 You all have a good evening and I’ll be back soon with another update.<\/p>\n
PS – I can feel my muse starting to whisper in my ear again…\u00a0 let’s see what she inspires me to do next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
