Present Joys
“We thank the Lord of heaven and earth
who hath preserved us from our birth
for present joys, for blessings past,
and for the hope of heaven at last.”

I obtained my BFA at Columbus College of Art & Design.

What I did this week (2 nov 2012)

  • Called off my monday independent study meeting for fear of not having made enough progress. (It was a good call.)
  • Started getting sick on monday and was sick for the rest of the week.
  • Stayed late after Marketing to film a short, low-key video for our group project. We shot it in the admissions meeting room and had some fun with staging.
  • Lost my hat on Cleveland Avenue in monday’s Hurricane Sandy weather. Had to chase after it.
  • Worked really hard to create color comps for my ad class.
  • Made some rivets in my jewelry class, including one my teacher said was the best in the class.
  • Redid my ad concept, rendering my hours of comp work pretty much worthless. That’s how she goes.
  • Tried to finish my package design final and failed miserably. It is probably the clumsiest-looking thing I have created in all of college.

What I did this week (26 oct 2012)

  • Had an offsite friendship lunch which was an extremely nice change-of-pace.
  • Enjoyed another productive, encouraging independent study meeting. Concerning my color palette and page wireframe, Lutz said “I think you’re done!” That .
  • Stayed late after Marketing to work on our “team project”. We took about an hour and finished the whole thing.
  • On tuesday (my birthday), brought frosted sugar cookies to school. Gave a special sprinkle-laden cookie to John, my birthday twin.
  • Finished my first bezel-set ring. Polished it repeatedly.
  • Tracked down CCAD’s chair of Fashion Design and got signed into two fashion classes for next semester. A real boon!
  • After jewelry, went to the North Market for some delicious Polish food with Jason and Amanda. They paid for my meal! and the woman serving us gave me a free extra birthday-portion!
  • Drove to school at 9:30pm for a super-late meeting about a pop-up store thing that will be materializing later this semester. I did it mostly for M-Tabs. More on that as things unfold.
  • On thursday, made actual progress in ad class. We are supposed to generate ad comps over the weekend.
  • Had a nice, reassuring conversation with Mr. Felton about my copywriting skills.

What I did this week (19 oct 2012)

  • Had a very very good independent study meeting with Mr. Lutz, during which he also helped me brainstorm for my ad project.
  • Passed the midterm point in Marketing, which means the lectures are shorter and more laid-back. That is nice.
  • Spent a highly unnecessary amount of time discussing résumés.
  • Finished the planar ring I was making, polished it one more time for good measure, and turned it in!
  • Worked at Sew to Speak on wednesday afternoon, which was kinda weird to do in the middle of the week. (But it was very nice, too!)
  • Combined our ad class with Mr. Lutz’ next-door class. Lutz and Burleigh both drew on the board at once and we generated a giant mind map about Coleman camping gear. It was extremely fun to be with a bunch of people I enjoy and to do mind mapping like old times.
  • Saw Jason Clary teaching perspective drawing on the quad. He has an even bigger beard than he used to, and he is as great as ever.
  • Experimented with different copper patinas. None of them worked satisfactorily. I’ll polish instead.
  • Did lots of homework. I am very busy.

What I did this week (12 oct 2012)

  • Started our second project in package design. We are designing a bar of soap and its packaging.
  • Received a guided tour of Mr. Hazlerig’s soap collection, which is expansive and very smelly.
  • Got confused about an assignment and wrote a four-page paper monday morning in my package design class.
  • Narrowly made it through a “feminism and gender stereotypes” lecture in my comics class. That is all I will say about that.
  • Took home the marketing midterm, completed most of it on monday night, and turned it in tuesday afternoon.
  • Had a woman from Career Services come talk to our ad class about the Internship Fair next month. She tried to be relevant by calling herself a geek and making annoyingly-contrived self-deprecating jokes.
  • Wrote 40 company slogans for copywriting. Spent both classes talking about slogans. My head is spinning.
  • Picked up a piece of molten copper and burned the fingertips on my left hand. Ouch.
  • Got to school early to pick up a drawing from last year that Boryana had been storing in AMF.
  • Had major chill time in Burleigh’s class. Spent pretty much the whole time doing homework and chatting. It’s nice to have a little break after all the frenzy of last week’s finals.
  • Finished socks I was making for my jewelry teacher and delivered themto her. She was quite pleased!
  • Finished making my first ring. And I used the polishing machine with no major injuries!
  • Started thinking about registration, which is stressing me out a lot.
