Ahhh, school is over for now!
Today was the last presentation/project for the fall quarter. I'm glad it's over, this flash project was the most time consuming and frustrating project out of all the class I took. For Flash grade wise, I think I did ok. I completed all my homework and projects on time. The only thing is that I wish I knew where I stood in grades throughout the quarter in Flash. I think the fact that my teacher is also a student makes things hard too. He conducted a great class no doubt, but I could see that classes he was taking was wearing him down quick. So, I'm not too bummed about him not updating the grades. He runs a pretty relaxed standard for the most part, so i'm not worried I guess.
There was only 3 projects for the quarter. The first one was to build a banner ad (non-animated) within a set guideline as well as start to finish in class (2.5 hours-ish). We had 3 options to do the ad on, Seattle aquarium, NW trek, and Woodland park zoo. I chose NW trek for my project, and it was horrible I though. No real design to it, just some stick figure-ish drawings and slapped it together.
Second project was to build on the project and animate it. Now my original project sucked and now I had to animate it. I did what I could with it and it still sucked but it fulfilled the requirements. I know for a fact that these 2 project are getting scrapped.
Last project, this one still had 3 options, a holiday animated card, animation to a song, or animation to poem. Initially I was going toward a christmas animated card but things changed a few days after deciding on what to do for the project.
During my Illustrator class we had a project on packaging, I had already started to go with an action figure vinyl toy that is customizable. It was modeled after Kid Robot's "Munny" dolls. I took the idea and turned it in to a ninja character and designed a box for it. While working on this project my classmate Nic saw what I was doing and needed a subject to package. I happened to have a few more templates of different characters and I gave him one of them. Nic was also in my flash class and needed a final project idea and said "I should use this for my flash project! We should do a battle scene." This was a great idea, we bounced idea off each other and the "Ninja VS Assassin" series was born. LOL!
I know it is not that good but it was fun and frustrating to build, but giving the presentation in class and getting a good crowd response was well worth it...

Borderlands
So last night I got the urge to do a little "glitching" on Borderlands the current game i've been playing. I found a You Tube video on how to do this and after a few tries I got it to work. Maxed out all the stats and now I lost all the checkpoints and progression that took A LONG time to get to. I'm so mad, but it was my own fault. So I have an awesome USELESS character. Gotta start all over.

Web Design Comp Round 1
Today for Web Design class we have to turn in our comps for a client web site that we designed. I got a pretty hard one and I hate it. I have no idea what this company is about. It starts out with a short back story, something about secret military or something like that. In fact...........
Company Name: Takagi Foundation (New York City Branch) Information: The Company was founded in 1971. The founders of the company wanted to prove to the people that there is a capitalist company who is more concerned for their employees and everyone else in the country. In 1995 the Foundation established a Defense Unit (a CIA security/military type group) whose sole purpose is to make sure the company and all the employees and their families are protected and well cared for. The company was close to losing face and the trust of the rest of the world when rivalry companies tried to smear the Founders hard work. This was how the Defense Unit was born. The U.S. Government is keeping a close eye on the Defense Unit and even has a few Pentagon officials working in the company to have the government be more comfortable and understand that the Foundation is not trying to over throw the government. The New York City branch focuses more on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and charity funds. The New York City branch is also the headquarter of the Foundation. Each branch of the Foundation has their own main focus/specialty.
What do you think? Makes no sense to me.

Flash Dummies!
Date: 10/26/09 10:44am (Monday)
Today we were working on adding sounds to our existing flash file that we made last week. There are the "chosen" few that still don't get it. This is beginning to piss me the FUCK off! These "chosen" few don't have the basic computer skills to be in this class, or any computer oriented class for that matter. They like to hold up the class every few minutes. Now, I understand not knowing something during the first week of class but to be in the 4th week and still not know the basic functions is unacceptable. This not only disrupts my learning but holding the class as a whole by having to stop every few minutes to help these people. I believe if you are having a hard time, definitely do some practice at home. Get used to using the function ON YOUR OWN and not only in class.
