Uhhhh, have fun watching? XD
I hope to see a lot of videos over the weekend of your work, everyone!
Last day!
O: Jimmy talked to us about the classes and things we'd be taking in the major. XD I'm going to be taking a few themes to get them out of the way and another class with Jimmy. I hear he's a lot tougher.......? Well, I'll see!
We were let out early!

November 29th
We watched a movie called Beautiful Losers on the 29th.
For the most part, I enjoyed the movie. At the intro, I was rather amused by the animations and graphics. It amazes me so! I really want to know how they do that, and I suppose I'll learn sooner or later. Sometimes it depresses me that I don't know how people do certain stuff, but I try to think it'll be possible to learn later on in my life. * U* Right now I'm interested in learning text graphics, but I'll.. have to get macromedia flash... somehow.
The Creative Suite, too. e 3e Expensive stuff, these things~
Beautiful Losers was about a group of people that came together to party in a place full of art. They became friends. And for some reason, I think it went something like. Hey, that's bad. Or something. They did this, mostly for rebellion, mostly for themselves.. until, it seems, before they realized they they were doing galleries and selling pieces and doing it for a profession. I think they liked that they were getting attention-- that their pieces were getting appreciated in some way.
How it started, or just by sheer coincidence, they were spotted and publicly recognized as talented individuals. Suddenly, they could get paid for what they loved and did. I think that's kind of the idea.

Somehow, I thought I did this. Yet, no, guess not.
I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but I realize it may just be slightly impossible with it being within a week + apples. XD
My creative process............ but hm. My creative process. 8C
Should I just record what I do best and add whatever additions needed?
Wednesday was spent discussing our 'advertising design project ideas'. I thought everyone's was pretty good~ though Jimmy said some were impossible. Shot down. Kinda harsh, since some of my ideas were like that too. The Orientation one, to be specific. As a transfer student, that was one of the things that struck me most was that the orientation didn't really talk about our majors. In my old college, when we did orientations, we did it in groups of 12-13 or more, and the counselor would sit down with each of us and talk about it. I think that's one of the downfalls of CSLA. But, I'm here now, so no time to complain~
* U* Afterwards, we graded Jimmy anonymously and just left~

November 22
We discussed high and low culture today, and as usual-- we were left to try and figure it out on our own, and then see if we were right or wrong ourselves outside of class. The class, almost as a whole (or, besides Andrea, you guys didn't speak up), kind of didn't get it. High and low culture are both popular, but in different senses, obviously.
Something like that. Haha.
Toothbrush, crayon, wallet, sunglasses...
High Culture!
Low Culture!
Something like that. Haha.
Afterwards, we split into teams of twos and threes and dropped in two-three items. We made stories out of them, and Jimmy thought they were all pretty horrible. XD I thought all the stories were kinda meh, too. Even mine, although I thought it was sufficient when it came to the items. If I knew what was expected, I would have gone with an intro, body, climax and not anti-climatic end. 8C

Reading #9 - Production
The last stage of the Design Process. We've come a long way from the start in so little time!
Production.
You can't change your mind at the last minute now because things are already in the process of rolling. You have to stand firm to your decision and know the ins and outs of it so you can answer any questions you must about it when your client questions you. Or your teacher. Jimmy always asks us why we do certain things, or why we answer it this way. I suppose it's all part of the process to get a design out. Concept design.
Production takes everything from the beginning-- all the way back to inspiration to budgets and constraints to make a final product. It's also important for you to keep track of your project, so you have something to fall back on if you must start back a few paces back. Like saving on photoshop. XD
