Turned in my package design final at 8am on monday; got done at 8:20am.
Spent the rest of the morning in the school library, which was all decorated for Christmas and very pleasant.
Had a rather stressful tuesday spent working on projects.
Learned how to use the sculpture lab’s sandblaster. Lots of fun!
Worked feverishly on wednesday to complete my ad and copywriting finals. Drove to school wednesday afternoon to print. Spent all evening mounting and wrapping copywriting finals.
Had a walk-around-and-write-on-paper-style critique in Burleigh’s class, then switched and did the same thing for Lutz’ class. And then we were all done with that.
Gave mini-presentations about my ad campaigns in copywriting. It went much better than I expected!
Stayed the whole time for my last jewelry class. Finished my locket project and quickly made a new ring. Wished Matt Flegle a merry Christmas. Took a class photo and made Christine Hill cry.
Said lots of goodbyes. Had a great (albeit very challenging) semester.
1. Tell us about your collection for One. (What was your concept or inspiration?)
I’ve created a collection of bow ties, each one constructed from two eclectic, coordinating pieces of found fabric. Because of these constraints, each tie is completely unique.
2. Can you describe your personal style? Is it reflected in your collection at all? (If not, how is it different?)
I dress (first) to be comfortable and (second) to show respect for my surroundings and for others. I do not make things I would not enjoy wearing myself.
3. Do you find that your body of work typically centers around a certain theme or aesthetic? If so, why do you think that is?
I strive to create objects that are well-crafted and that eschew trendiness.
4. Describe your design aesthetic in 3 words.
enduring / urbane / quixotic
5. What attracted you to submit work for One? What attracts you to fashion?
I mostly like to make things for myself. On rare occasions, I enjoy making things for other people. This is one of those latter times. I love men’s fashion because of its uncanny ability to be simultaneously rooted in history and completely fresh.
Had a nice independent study meeting with Mr. Lutz. After we finished, we decided not to meet next week. So I’m all done!
Spent time in the CCAD library helping Amanda impose booklet pages, which was way harder than it should have been!
Wore a snowflake shirt and red corduroy waistcoat on monday and had people say “you look so Christmasey!” to me all day.
Attended my very last marketing class. Good freaking riddance!
Took a very unhealthy lunch to Copywriting on tuesday, which included a bottle of Yoo-hoo and Little Debbie Christmas Cakes. Highly necessary at this time of year.
Started working on my third and final major jewelry project, which is due really soon.
Got a surprisingly large amount of work done in my thursday morning ad class. The pressure is getting to me!
Hung out with Mr. Burleigh in thursday’s jewelry class. He was there pretty much the whole time killing time and giving advice. Tons of fun.
Drove back to school to hear Mr. Burleigh speak to the Christian group, Sanctuary. It was a very good, encouraging time.
Had thanksgiving lunch with a giant group of friends at the CCAD Family Thanksgiving feast. My favorite lunch of the whole year.
Worked all alone during my break on monday afternoon. Had a last-minute burst of inspiration for my ad final (due tuesday morning). Redid a large chunk of it!
Had a very fun time in my tuesday ad class. Turned in my finals, gave a little presentation, and relaxed.
Had an equally-nice time turning in homework for my copywriting class. It was very laid-back.
Went to another job interview, this time on the 31st floor of a downtown high-rise.
Did a ton of wonderful things (sewing, knitting, working, playing accordion) over Thanksgiving break. And not a lot of homework.
