Graphic Design Assignment

I'm really enjoying my graphic design class. It is a tough class that requires a lot of work but I feel like I am learning a lot. Our first assignment was to learn about and photograph examples of the principles of design (unity & variety, balance, scale & proportion, rhythm, emphasis, & depth.) Now we are putting those principles to work by drawing 60 thumbnail sketches of black and white shapes. There must be anywhere between 5-15 shapes in each thumbnail and it is required to have at least one circle, line, cross, square, and triangle. This takes an enormous amount of time and I am starting to go a bit shape-crazy but it is really making me think and be creative.

The pictures below are just some examples of my "shapes" project. (They are supposed to be horizontal but for some reason they are portrait layout. Oh well, you get the idea.)

Winter Semester 09

No pics this time. Sorry my camera broke. I'm getting another one soon.

I'm taking 11 credits this semester. The classes I am taking are:

-Intro to Graphic Design (aka boot camp)
-Animal Handling and Behavior
-Black and White Photography
-Advanced Writing and Critical Reading
-FA 100 (0 credit. All you have to do is go to a bunch of plays and concerts and stuff.)

I'm living with the Lamoreaux's right now and loving it. I am currently not working but I left my resume at a small animal vet clinic in Rexburg a couple of days ago and the next day the vet called me so today I went and interviewed with him. Hopefully I will be able to work a few hours a week. He wants to hire someone to work Saturday mornings so it won't be a lot of hours but it will be fun. I'll let you know if I get it. Hopefully I will be able to get a couple of horses in training too since I have so few credit hours. I will graduate with my associates this semester, yay! I will be applying to BYU Provo soon.
