I shit you not, this is two of my three projects for my final in my VCD class. The first one is an interactive resume and I need to write up an actual mock cover letter for it and not just use lorem ipsum text, unfortunately. The second is a small photo gallery. They were both done in InDesign, which is becoming my favorite program to lay out designs in. Which, I guess, makes some sense.
Initially he gave us simple templates for these, but I asked if we could fancy them up if we were so inclined. Instructor said go for it and, as you can see, I did. When I asked about something on my resume project (specifically, how to properly make a mailto link), my professor asked if that was my art and told me I should promote my stuff to pet stores and the like since I draw ~animal people~. Then he asked what my process was for doing my work digitally and such. When I asked if we could use other images for the photo gallery, he said to go ahead and use my art if I wanted.
We're going to be getting one more project before finals week and then these are due by the end of finals week (the 17th). As you can see, I've pretty much completed mine, but I'm going to wait for a bit to see if there's anything I want to tweak or add to it. But I think these will definately make my two bad exams pretty much nonexistent.
I mentioned this everywhere else, but not here yet: I HAS JOB. The bookstore e-mailed me this morning to ask if I'd be interested in working finals week to do buybacks. I said absolutely because, well, JOB. Plus, I do really like the bookstore. The only person there who puts me off a little is Stephanie, but I think she's just the type that's just >:| about new people in her work enviornment. She was never mean to me or anything, but she's just...curt, I guess. I can understand, though. So it's not a big deal.
But I popped in between classes and making flashcards for Art History to fill out my tax forms again. The manager asked if I'd be interested in helping over the break, to get ready for the spring semester and I said I'd love to. I also told him if he wanted to keep me on like they did for the beginning of the fall semester, I'd be more than happy.
So, there's that! There's going to be a lot of hours available for finals week, apparently. So hopefully I can get my rent worked out. I have about $100 towards what I owe now and I need about $160 more. Then, I have to scrounge up DECEMBER's rent, too. Hopefully, I can talk to my landlord and explain the situation and give him the rent money when I get paid this month. Then, in January, we'll both have our financial aid checks and can pay up a bit.
If I'm really lucky, the bookstore will keep me around. Even if it's just one or two days a week, that'd be nice and then I can pick up something else on campus.
Speaking of school (which is almost all I talk about), I got my schedule for spring. I have to take mostly online courses because I can't afford all twelve credit hours on the main campus right now ($225/credit at the regional campuses, $400/credit at the main campus). So I'm taking three online courses from the regional campuses and one course on main campus.
So my schedule looks like:
DRAWING I - 3.000 - 2:15 pm - 4:30 pm - Nicole Calderon - Jan 10, 2011-May 01, 2011Which shouldn't be too bad. those tech classes should be pretty easy overall, as it seems to be on basics and such. Plus, if they're anything like my VCD class this semester, I'll be prepared by knowing more than the average student and I'll still end up learning something. Win/Win.

I need to figure out a major at some point.
Laurie and her mercenary name, Gwen in some god-awful outfit, a commission in progress and sketches of Gram and Alexis. Hurrah! I'm sad I didn't save the high resolution file of the Laurie one. I did it really sketchy because I was going to go an ink it proper later on, but I ended up really liking how it turned out and the text was a pain in the ass to do. But I didn't, so oh well.
My webspace is down, but you can still view stuff on my Tumblr artblog.
