Dokusei Design

I spent over 8 hours try­ing to fig­ure out what the hell was wrong with my shop. Turns out, after 8 hours of delet­ing, edit­ing, new data­bases, new instal­la­tions, delet­ing data­bases, major googling and zen cart research.. I missed a fricken < / form>. I hate when peo­ple go FML, but SERIOUSLY F M  L LOL. I went through so much trou­ble for it.. and here I am, 4 AM in the morn­ing. Good morn­ing. cof­fee­icon cof­fee­icon coffeeicon

I’ve been home lately.. don’t noth­ing. I worked for 2 days.. I guess that counts right? Maybe it’s time to tell them I can work more days peaceicon .

I did the illus­tra­tion on my left today.. and I LOVE IT! haha it was really fun doing it too. It’s rare that I am some­what par­tially sat­is­fied with my work. It was derived from the Juicy Cou­ture ad.. and I thought it ws adorable because of the bow bow92icon . I wanted to do another one, but it’s dif­fi­cult to find a pic­ture that catches my attention :( .

Work­ing on the new agenda cover for 09/10 for next year in class.. I am so bored! I hate work­ing at school.. but yeah, this is what I have so far :) .. but hon­estly.. I don’t even try in class any­more… the projects are so repet­i­tive.. and every­thing we do is for the school.. eg: annual cover, school logo, agenda cover, school play posters etc etc.. there’s noth­ing ever for print, like for busi­ness cards or brochures. Fur­ther­more.. we are SO restricted to what we do that.. it doesn’t enable us to make the project with the best of our abil­i­ties.. B L A H. yes I com­plain a lot. >:(.

The school play this year is “The Princess Bride”.. I heard it was a really good movie filmi­con , and I want to watch the play!! But I have work todayy so too bad for Amy <:( . It was actu­ally on yes­ter­day.. but no one goes on Thurs­day, when you can go on Fri­day. psh~

I have been work­ing on these two pieces lately.. ><” for.. belated birth­days! haha. I am so behind.. :(. But yes.. like always, just a lit­tle busy with school and .. life in general.

I just fin­ished with pack­ag­ing design project for graphic design :)! The assign­ment was to design a pack­age for a fra­grance. I made mine quite sim­ple.. and a lit­tle generic I guess you can say –_-” didn’t put too much thought into it.. I’ll admit. Then again, I have not been putting any effort into any of my art lately. It seems as though.. I don’t even have time to do that.. and when the due date comes around, I end up using one of my old sketch­book assign­ments and turn it into a project piece o.o”. Let me say though.. the stu­dent teacher was not much of a help.

Right now in careers class, we’re work­ing on a paint­ing that must be based on trees, and a 20th cen­tury artist. I’ve cho­sen Tamara De Lem­picka :D Her paint­ings are absolutely gor­geous!.. unfor­tu­nately I may butcher the painting.

I don’t know I had men­tioned in my pre­vi­ous post, but I have selected my school for post sec­ondary! haha I have finally come to a deci­sion that I will be attend­ing Otis col­lege of art and design, as opposed to School of Visual Arts. I would LOVE to attend SVA, but I think at this moment in time, I am not emo­tion­ally pre­pared to be thrown into New York city. It is quite over­whelm­ing, and a lit­tle bit threat­en­ing. How­ever, after 2 years in Otis, I may even decide to trans­fer to SVA! haha I hon­estly believe that mov­ing to New York(later in life) will help me expand my career oppor­tu­ni­ties :). But, for now, I will be going to Otis for Fall 2009, in LA.
