FAREWELL

"Now we have to say goodbye to all our company...", Another school year has come to an end. I just want to say that I really did enjoy this blogging thing. I just might continue it who knows. Good luck to everyone on their finals, congratulations if you're graduating, and have a blessed summer. I just wanted to display one more piece before the class ends-it's a different type of calendar that I intended to have fold up but I'm still working on that.

JUNETEENTH

Have you ever heard of this holiday???? I HAVE! Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Observance of Juneteenth is June 19th as the African American Emancipation Day. This year a lot of places will celebrate the weekend before the nineteenth on June 16th. So this summer if you can remember see if your hometown or city commemorates such a day and attend. It will be a learning experience plus tons of fun.

Oh by the way I did mean to say I designed the poster to your left lol!

A FIRST FOR ME

Never in my life have I ever used chicken wire until now! For my final in 3D design we are studying pop art and are to create a household item reflecting the art period with chicken wire as the form. I chose to make a tube of lipstick and I'm putting paper mache around the wire. It's a process but I'm getting there. If you're in my class you'll get to see my finished piece and I hope it turns out how I want.

ROBERT MUGABE

I gave a presentation on Tuesday in my World History class with Professor Griffin, who I might say is a very difficult teacher, on a man named Robert Mugabe. Currently this man is the President of Zimbabwe in Africa. He's been in standing since the 80s and will be up for re-election in 2008. The information about this man I found to be very sad. For instance he called for Operation Murambatsvina, clean out trash, on his own people. It was an operation to destroy houses on lands that were once owned by white landowners that affected 2.4 million Zimbabweans. How can a man be so cruel and be so harsh towards his own people?!?!?

MAGAZINE LAYOUT

In my Advanced Page Layout class this was one of our assignments to create a magazine cover and a two page spread. I chose to hightlight a reggae artist, Gyptian, who I listen to. I have to say this was a fun project to create and even though I'm not too excited about how the cover looks I still like it!

CHECK OUT THE SKILLS

This was a realism project I created in one of my graphics classes my sophomore year. I was highly pleased with the results. Though there were a couple of problems I ran into trying to make everything look life like. The one thing I love most about my peacock is the gradient meshes I used for his feathers and his beak. Tell me what you think.

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS

My brain must really be in a coma. I've updated my resume so that it's in tip top shape to hand out to possible employers, but like a week ago when I tried emailing my resume for a summer internship I came across a problem. I listed what I thought was a functioning email address, but to my surprise it's not. Apparently it's just to use as an identity when I log onto my email account. It doesn't function as an email address. Am I right? Please someone tell me if I'm wrong. I've passed out my resume to a few companies at a job fair and now I feel so stupid because I gave what I thought worked as my email but it doesn't. No wonder why my inbox has been empty lol!
