Winners learn from the past and enjoy
working in the present toward the future."

It is almost over. for my InDesign class I am working on a 24 page magazine called LEAF. I will have to post parts of it when I get through. I am also working on a small poster, 11x 17, because that is the biggest printer capacity we have for the majority of student work. That is for the Photoshop class. I feel like I have a handle on things in InDesign, but feel like I am all thumbs in Photoshop. I am doing monster insects that have bread near Fukushima Power Plant and are menacing the populace.

No new images.

From 1977, this Bota Bag was a popular way to carry wine at concerts, picnics, where ever. it had a plastic lining and a leather outside. I am embarrassed to say I wore it out. 

Time

I am not posting a piece of art. I just finished two midterms, one in InDesign and one in Photoshop. Not terribly difficult if I had found enough of the time I needed to study and do my homework in the manner that I am accustomed to. But this term the study and homework time required more of a commitment of resources than I had. The available time comes out of sleep, and from poor little Chalupa who already spends way too much time home alone. I can sacrifice a few hours of sleep, however I find I feel very guilty if I leave him home, without being able to go out for long periods of time. It is really difficult to do all my homework at school. Not having the resources at home is tough, but I am also grateful that I have access to everything at school.

Over break I am redoing some of the work that I turned in that I did not get 100% on, and resubmitting it. See if I can play a bit of catch-up. Those midterms? I will be happy if I got a "B" on either one. Very sad. Amy is taking Cahlupa for a while during Christmas break. Poor guy needs a vacation as much as I do.
