Home Stretch

So with about 4 weeks left before the end of this term, I can honestly say I'm still doing pretty well. Unfortunately I feel myself pushing along with somewhat less gusto then I had at the start of the term.
That bothers me. I'm taking time to do other things and not making school #1 priority. I believe it comes from the fact that before I was in school, I enjoyed my free time. I would come home from work and switch off mentally.
I can't do that now, but the habit is hard to break.
Each semester is going to get harder. I will not fail this course.
Assignments these last weeks have been long. 2 week deadlines, or oral presentations.

Computer Graphics; this is the first piece I've handed in for this course. The only other things we have done are presentations and apple pro tip videos. Nothing worthy to show here. This picture started out as a restoration of an old photo. The picture had lots of scratches and some fold marks which I corrected in Photoshop.
The second part was to colour the picture in Adobe Illustrator. This is not the final version, but it's very close to what I handed in.





Typography; Do a self portrait using Adobe Illustrator. We had to use type, without stretching or warping the letters. We had to find letters or words that represent us and would make a proper likeness.
I used Monotype Corsiva font. I couldn't get the lips to look right, but oh well.
Yes, the word on my shoulder says "Reliable"
Other words say "Original", "Easy Going", "Artistic", and "Intuitive".




Photography; another course I never posted before. No one wants to see pictures of a chair taken with 9 different focal lengths, and 3 different lighting styles.
This was our first artistic piece.
Take a portrait of some one that captures their interests or mood.
I tweaked it up in Photoshop. Also after a few "technical issues", and having to re-shoot twice, I think this turned out the best out of the 156 pictures I took.
