So yeah, the last few months have been crazy! And it's not done yet! My portfolio for college is due on April 8. I haven't started counting down days yet, because I know if I do I will go into panic mode (though I'm pretty sure a lot of people think I already have). I am making progress, slowly, but I have mini panic-attacks every now and then.
I still need to write a Statement of Purpose, an Industry Research paper, do a design analysis on an example of good design and an example of bad design, and I need to finish my watercolor painting and a monogram. Gah! Oh, and I am also putting together personal pieces to go into my portfolio too. And once all of that is done, I need to mount it all!

But no need to panic

I will try to post more stuff soon, when there's less stress in my life, maybe. Trust me, on April 8th there will be much celebrating on my part.

And I'm back from Christmas break. It was some good times. First there were family gatherings galore, thanks to the fact that I went to my boyfriend's gatherings as well as my own. Plus both of our family Christmas get-togethers for immediate family. But then we went to Banff. Just me, my boyfriend, and two of our friends on a road-trip to Banff for some sweet snow-boarding. The unfortunate part? It came to an end, and here I am, stuck in school again. I have exams coming in a few weeks, and so many things to catch up on.
I got a new camera during the break, so I have some sweet pictures to show you all of our trip. Unfortunately they will only be up when I have the time. I have a lot on my plate right now, so it might be only close to the end of January. But just so you know, they are coming!
The end of my Little Miss Sunshine project was passed, so design work will be changing. I have a few personal projects lined up, including t-shirt designs and posters for a band that my friend is in. And then I have the ever-coming line-up of posters for school events. Hopefully there's some good stuff in that mess that I can put up.
Also, as I am applying for college to get into graphic design, I have to put together a portfolio. Since I will be putting a lot of work into those pieces, you will probably see them being posted sometime between February and the first week of April (it's due April 8th).
So there you go, that is what can be expected for the next few months from me. Please let me know what you would like to see more of, I'd love to hear from all of you.

Oh and happy new year, everyone!

Time for some changes around here. That's right, I'm cleaning up my gallery. All the ones that I want to get rid of have been moved into scraps, some will eventually be deleted altogether. Some images haven't been moved to scraps quite yet, but just might do so in the not-so-distant future.
I would love to hear from you, about which pictures you think i should keep, which ones i shouldn't. I have already done the changes, but if you feel I made a mistake, please, let me know. I usually have a reason for each of my decisions... usually. Help me out here, people, I want to update my gallery to make something that I can be proud of. Let me know what you think!

Check out my scraps for images moved there, and my gallery for any images you think i shouldn't have kept.

Thanks a bunch, everyone!

There's this puzzle I'm trying to complete. Emptying out the box, I'm given a mound of pieces. The frustrating thing is that they didn't give me one of those pictures that shows you what the finished product is supposed to look like, you just make it up as you go along and hope it all fits together in the end. The problem is, I seem to have lost some of the pieces, or they simply forgot to give them to me. Either way, I need to find those before I can finish it. Thus far, I have one corner, a bit of the edges, and am slowly making my way into the picture. It doesn't look like much, and doesn't make much sense. I mean, how much sense can a puzzle make if you don't even know what it's supposed to look like when it's done? But this picture is so different, it makes no sense. I can't even explain it, because every time I take a step back and look at the whole of the puzzle that I have completed nothing seems to fit together, but yet they do. The pictures confuses me, this puzzle confuses me. Someday I'll finish it, depends on how fast I find those missing pieces. For now I'll just have to make do with what pieces I have. How far are you on your puzzle? This puzzle called life.

What is it with people and pressing buttons? It's like this mystery that just screams to you. You may even know what happens when you press that button, but you cannot be sure until you press it. You just have this unnerving desire to know, right? We all do. Curiousity fills our veins, we thrive on it. There's this button, no matter how dull in appearence, it is a button and calls to the people of the world. "Do it, you know you want to!" We know we shouldn't, but we do it anyways. Reaching forwards, the excitement rises, what will the outcome be? The consequences could be endless, or they could be narrowed down to one. The mystery will not end, it will not stop pestering you until you complete the action. Until you lean forward and press the button. You want to, you yearn to, but will you? Will you finish the story? With a bang? Or will you simply walk away and leave well enough alone? You know how difficult that is, leaving it alone. Knowing that you could have changed the world, someone else's or your own, but you could've changed something. But you didn't. Do you turn back, go back and press that button? Or do you block it from your mind until the memory is no longer in existence. Does this bother you?
I'm not sure if it bothers you. But it seems to bother a lot of people I know. Because they often press my buttons. They know where they are, and they're curious, what would happen if I did this?
