Now we begin...

With the end of the long weekend (thanks to MLK day), I'd say the semester has truly started. Other than a few misfortunes--of having an ill instructor for one class, and the hands full of work/event planning that's flooding in this semester--this semester has been a great start.

This week alone is a career fair that I'm interested. Or rather, MUST be interested to attend (OK. just kidding!). I've seen through the list and found a couple of interesting companies :)

Then, there's the planning of AIGA's portfolio review. The committee seems to be pretty neat. I sense a great omph in them. The people who are involved. A very big difference from the kinda "motivated individuals" in AAF. It's somewhat similar to those in SCNO. Another group that I'm more involved in. The only difference, they are (AIGA) more inclined to the design aspect.


I'm currently working really hard to come up with something that would serve as a "mark" for my materials. That is to say, figuring how I could give my resumes, letterheads, "book" etc. a coherent look. And this "cap mohor" is one of my fav. Seems that my professor likes it and see the potential in it.

p/s: I intend to change the title to whatever job I apply for. It'd be sweet if it was "art director" LOL... BTW sis, do you by any chance know where's my "stone-with-my-chinese-characters-carved-on-it-I-think-it-was-a-rather-brown-stone?"


Speaking of which, I will be submitting one of my work (remember the posters for the departments. OK. Only one of them) for the AIGA competition. Mind you, I didn't have the confidence to submit it. But since, the department is paying for the fee. And since my prof said that it was a nice piece. I figured... why not?

Another event that I'm thinking of attending. The ADDY's at Downtown Lansing. Thought that it would be a hassle to travel all the way to DET (yes. with the assumption that it was at DET). But then, when I found out that it was by Lansing. Again... why not? I think I'd skip the one this Friday tho. I'm opting for the "gala dinner" on the 23rd. Seems to be a whole lot of fun.

Along the lines, the "againts the fur" (or so) poster competition's deadline is slowly crawling up. While dealing with that, I intend to work on the promotions commons posters to get potential stuff for my book. Ya.. with a couple more side projects with SCNO coming up. With the other portfolio review. Other favors. And personal attempts to work on something interesting. IN CONCLUSION: I love what I'm doing!! At least I think so. Oh well... watever...

A couple of applications here and there. A whole lot of fun with designing everyday. A few minutes to think of what alterations I should do to my existing online portfolio. And a few moments of day dreaming. Dreaming of [fill in the blanks] HAHA...

Alrightee.. seems like a long post to me. Ya i know. After a thousand light years.

Later

p/s: I went for hotpot. The Malaysian translation to that is "steamboat" last week. A rather conversive farewell dinner that same weekend. Swallowed two whole series in 2 days and 1 night. Found some rather interesting books. Both designing and just for facts (did you know that KL Twin Towers are actually the 7th tallest building, in terms of actual height - they fooled us long enough - and that Dubai is planning on building a taller building than Taipei 101 by 2008?!)
