  • A Day in My Grad Life

    —

    in ,

    Earlier I was typing an email in which I related to my friend how busy I have been, and then described everything I had to do over the next few days. As I typed the email I thought, “this could be my blog post. I could just copy and paste.” But that didn’t seem right.…

  • A Bit Behind

    —

    in

    Time is increasingly becoming scarce. Or perhaps I should say that my time is increasingly becoming consumed so that there is no time. I had a coffee around midnight, so I’m up. This is good because I have a couple readings for my 10 a.m. class still to do. Mostly, I have been keeping up.…

  • Hailing from Northern Virginia

    —

    in

    After two days in Geneva, New York, I hit the road and drove down to northern Virginia to visit my friends Chris and Joanne. Three hundred and fifty-two miles. I left late in the day on Friday, and was kind of sleepy. So during the drive I had a coffee, Red Bull, and Starbucks Doubleshot.…

  • Off to Geneva!

    No, not that Geneva. Geneva, New York, nestled alongside Seneca Lake, which is one of the finger lakes. I’m going to visit my friends Paul and Shannon for a couple days. Then on Friday I’m heading down to DC to visit my friends Chris and Joanne and others, and even play a soccer game with…

  • Design Fundamentals Is Over

    —

    in ,

    Once again Friday brings the end of a project-driven week, and a big sigh of relief. The difference between this Friday and the last five is that next week there is no new project to work on. The design fundamentals course is over. We’ve got two weeks off before fall classes start. I’ll be doing…

  • Photographing Scars

    —

    in ,

    I’m going to skip over what we did today in class, which was essentially reviewing the pairs of photos we took yesterday, and jump right into tonight’s assignment: On photographing a person; and, on being photographed. We had to write about the experience, so I’m going to include that in it’s entirety because it’s after…

  • Homemade Pizza

    in

    Homemade pizza I made this pizza last night. It’s the first time I made a pizza completely from scratch. The results were very good, and the pizza was very large. I used organic garlic and tomatoes for the sauce, and topped it with basil (from my garden) and mozzarella.

  • Visualogic and Introductions

    —

    in ,

    Today I was introduced to the idea of typographic hierarchy and visualogic, which was defined as the cognitive relationship between any two lines and groups of text, and the way those relationships are reflected visually. I also received my first assignment meant to explore typographic hierarchy. After years of arranging text into meaningful and digestible…
