MELISSA GRANILLO, PART 3

This past week has been filled with finishing up the first project of the semester for each class. My logos are due next week and I’m really excited about how I’m going to present them to the teacher. He said we have to present it as we would to a future employer and suggested we make a little booklet of our logos that we’ve done. This weekend I’m having my logos printed and geting the right paper for the cover. I’m thinking something textured and bright orange or pink to draw attention.

My other class that I haven’t been able to talk about yet is 483E Computer Assisted Graphics. This is the second time I’ve taken it. That’s what’s really great about taking classes here. I can take some classes up to 3 or 4 times if I’m really interested in the subject and have them qualify as elective classes. In 483E last semester we started with an HTML site and finished up with using Flash. I started just understanding it toward the end of the semester and I was so interested in learning about it that I decided to take the class again to really learn it better and produce some creative websites. For our first project we are competing in an Anti-AIDS promotional piece held in Ukraine! It’s exciting to be apart of it and I’m pleased with my design so far. We had the option of creating a poster or an animation. I stuck with doing print based material and I’m just finishing the final toches. In two weeks, we are going to send them off to Ukraine to be judged by the panel. I have a working example of the poster, but it still needs a couple of things fixed.

Till next time,
Melissa :)
