graphic design
instead of doing my graphic design homework.. i am going to briefly attempt to articulate how I feel about graphics.
I realize today.. as a I dread doing these damn drawings... that graphic design, for me, is really a bunch of bullshit. i mean i do these drawings and we talk about all the symbolism and how it feels and blah blah blah.. and honestly it sucks.. because first of all.. i don't have these huge novel way of interpreting the same symbols/messges whatttever. and secondly, half of this shit is such a stretch.. for me.. for the public.. for whoever. my teacher's favorite design yesterday was the one that was a scribble scrawled out in frustration.. a 'whooptyfuck' if you will... apparently it looked intentional... the third problem with graphics is that we pay so much gd attn to details that NO ONE notices. all my teachers say.. a lot of times your clients wont know what a good design is.. and they'll pick out your most terrible one.. well fuck. dESIGN is FOR THE PUBLIC. wouldnt that imply that the public defines "good design"
there's a lot of things i like about design.. it's fun to do.. i do learn a lot.. i like things looking a certain way etc.. but seriously.. the deSIgn process?! this analytical bullshit?! "goood design?" (did i mention that my teacher put up these two horrendous posters the other day as examples..) UNDER SPECULATION. we're gonna talk about this later.. but i just wanted to say that. thanks.

niice...
those who happened to read the dec 28th blog would not be surprised at today's all-star performance of maristella swimming face-first into the pool wall. just swimming across the pool in the middle of the day all alone and all of a sudden, smAck.. straight into the wall.. (picture someone kissing it and then add five mph) wow.. that was a smart one.
ps. for all those with acne issues.. apparently (according to my bro) putting baby powder on your face at night resolves this problem. don't look at me.. my input: it smells absolutely horrendous. i feel nauseus every time i enter the bathroom.
