Don't blink.

Dissapearing Fifty

WEll, I was up late last night, as in like.. 12:30 to 1 finishing up a project...
I was making a series of handmade/ hand bound/sewn books for the due date of today. gonna take a nap before class tho;)

Realllly excited about my self-promotional project for graphic design portfolio class. Its looking like an integrated catalogue of my design process and portfolio.. in a format that links the bridge between photography, design and film.

Taking on several different projects lately.. Helping out with the Riverbend site a little, helping out my mom's company brochure and some packaging and website...
brainstorming and submitting entries to various scholarship contests and a logo design contest. Really excited about all of it !:)

My new project in bookmaking is a "maze book" which is an accordion fold book without words.
I'm hopefully going to make it down to Jimmy's diner on Friday to take some pictures of that awesome restaurant.
The books are being sent off in an exchange deal our prof has with another school in England... so i thought it would be really cool to send them something that was entirely unique to western culture. Kinda like an artist's eye view of the 50's diner.
My plan so far is to actually die cut the book into a certain shape... like perhaps the outside of the diner, or the shape of a barstool, etc.

That whole style is really fun to see.. especially because its so quickly dissapearing.

Looking forward to seeing my sister on Saturday....
I'm sad though, because it seems no matter how many emails I send or how often I call.. I've gotten like, one email since she left on the 4th, and two returned calls. Those calls were only returned, I didn't actually get to talk to her.
Its rreally frustrating...
but i guess i wanted my space too when i was in college at first.
Now I find myself wanting the opposite.

My parents are easier to get into touch with..but they don't always have to cool stories like Al ;)
