Good news, good news!

Last month, I posted about how I was freaking out about a difficult class I had to take. Well, guess what? I GOT AN A! WOO HOO! I was also inducted into the National Technical Honor Society last week, and I will be inducted into Kappa Pi Honorary Art Fraternity next week. On to of that, I was approached personally for some ongoing freelance work. I think that at this point, I can call myself a graphic designer now instead of a graphic designer wannabe. :) I am also enjoying the mixed media class I'm taking now. I haven't worked with soft pastels since high school, and I forgot how much I enjoyed them. Last week, we were asked to play around with the medium using different techniques. This assignment reminded me of my coloring book days; see the attached images. I'll be drawing something recognizable this weekend, so if I remember, I'll share the finished product with you.

The saga continues...

I just went from part-time to full-time at my job, which I am pretty excited about since that means more graphic design experience and more money. Plus, I am still in school, and I am still hanging on to my 4.0 GPA. My next class that starts this week has to do with the history and analysis of graphic design. Some of the material reminds me of my art history class, just with a spin on it, but I can tell from the syllabus that there is a lot more to it than that, and I may have to drink an extra cup of coffee each day to get my assignments done after work. I will also have to really put my nose to the grindstone on the weekends to stay ahead. This will be a challenge, but I am confident that I will prevail. Let's roll...
