Went gaga over show studio interview

So yesterday I watched the Lady Gaga show studio interview... twice. 

And I guess it's a given that I loved it so much I wanted to have it's babies.

The interview was highly personal. Fans and friends of Gaga's(mostly the famous ones)

asked her interesting yet semi-trivial questions, and she answered them with

such wise responses that made so happy I could die(no pun intended).

I found it very very personal. Some might argue that the typing was kind of annoying

but it was those moments of silence that made me love this interview. It made me

feel close to her. I know it sounds cheesy but it did. I had her on full screen

while I sipped my tea along with her. And like the little loving monster that I am,

I supported her and loved everything she had to say. From her thoughts on

her music reaching out to certain kinds of people and being viewed as art made by

an artist rather than music made by a celebrity to the fact that she loves

unicorns.

I love you Gaga, You're monster always.

My current desktop

Just wanted to show how the icons looked on the desktop:

Yeah my laptop is a PC.

And yes that is lady gaga, and yes I did edit the picture and yes I arranged the icons by colour. and it just so happens that they are also ordered by colour as well as importance. (centre being the mos important)

My icons

I think I did these last year or so, and I just recently found them again when I was 

looking for stuff to delete today. For some reason the icon files weren't working so I converted the JPEGs again today and made them again!

This is my icon for my "work" folder:

This is the icon for my Documents folder:

This is my Icon for my comp folder:

This is the icon for my Exp folder:

And last but definitely not least this is the icon for my Media folder:

I actually really like them. I don't know why I didn't do this earlier.

I'm researching how to design my task bar and windows. Paired with a screen saver I'll have my own set soon. And I may upload it. I'm thinking of making more of these icons for other things.

Back to course work.

C-OMIT!

So just came back from an editorial shoot for OMIT magazine. Apparently it's coming out soon, it's not even released yet but it will be on the 1st of June, so bear with me as I'll be sure to link it when it comes out.

I really enjoyed working with the team, twas fun, and I got to wear some super clothes. Now back to more depressing work.

Modern thoughts is a no go.

Okay so, I had this exhibition to prepare for called "modern thoughts", and I finished working on the video I was going to present yesterday. We were supposed to set up our work today but, as luck would have it, it got cancelled, or postponed, or whatever. Sad, but the strange thing is that I don't really feel the pain that much. I mean a lot of my classmates seem to be upset about it. But the exhibition, or rather the idea of there being one, served it's purpose for me. I mean, it's put the pressure on me and made me finalise my modern thoughts final piece. I might put the one-minute version of the video on here. Maybe tomorrow Jack, maybe tomorrow.

Experimenting with shit

So I thought I would experiment a little with colour on the jewel stone I did yesterday. Just so I feel productive, ya know? Whatever helps me sleep at night.

Pretty colours.

There's like a black line there... it's... conceptual.

I might do some stuff with type tomorrow.

Call me vain, shame on... shame on you.

Yeah so I was thinking of making the same thing I did with the collage only on photoshop to see if would take less time. SO I used my face, and made it my facebook profile picture(...yay). Turns out it takes almost as long cause I had to do the jewel on illustrator beforehand rather than hand drawing it. OH WELL!

Out with the old, in with the crap.

So there's the heap of magazines that I don't want to keep either because they're not magazines that I am particularly into, or because they're damaged and old. Actually I found that in that pile there was one of my favourite copies of 10men magazine, and I was beyond unhappy that it was damaged... someone is going to pay(if I were physically capable of crying over material things, I would). Back on the topic, I thought I'd make something out if some pages in them. SO I got inspired by pictures of diamonds that I was browsing through and decided to make a collage with them.


This is what I got:



It took way longer than I think it would, as I did it by hand. I just scanned it in and since the night just said hi I'm going to eat my dinner and do stuff to this tomorrow... or next week, or something.

Working on something that I don't need to be doing

So here's the thing. I find that whenever I don't have deadlines I just can't be bothered to do any work. I feel like because graphic design is my full time occupation, when I have free time I ought to not do it. Which completely contradicts the point of me pursuing a career in this field seeing as I can't enjoy it enough to work when I'm not asked to.

However, strangely I find that when I have a deadline for course work, I get the urge to do something completely self fabricated. I mean just the other day I was asking my friend Jo if she would mind acting in a concept for a film that I have in mind. The problem is that this is happening while I have 4 projects due for assessment in 3 weeks. I swear, some times I think I'm a sadist.

"It has risen again!"

So I've decided to go at this again. This time with a completely different blog name and new promise. One which I might just break by tomorrow. But I will try to keep this going this blog going this time. I plan on using it as motivation for making one day projects over the summer holiday. However since currently deadlines are drawing near, I will only be creating work once a week until after assessment.
