This poster is something I’ve been working on for the past couple days. I’m very proud of it. And I want you to register your team and come play with the Bell Museum!

Just a couple videos I want to share with the world (which my instructor, Sarah Steil, shared with me/my class)…

I’ve been doing some more work with InDesign and Illustrator lately, so I just posted some of my advertisements and flyers. Also I thought I’d promote some of the upcoming Bell Museum programs since the museum has been so good to me for the last 6 years!

P.S. Tickets for the wine event aren’t quite available yet—keep posted to the museum’s website. Ticket sales will be announced there for sure!

I’m so sleepy right now.

Friday: attended the Pattern Language exhibit preview at the Weisman Art Museum with Rebecca. It was fun to watch the three teams of seniors create garments in just 3 or 4 hours and I met some more awesome Clothing Design majors. Maybe I will see them if I get into the College of Design for graduate school next Fall…

Afterwards, I joined Rebecca and a few of her friends for dancing and nearly-naked-men-watching at the Gay 90′s. It wasn’t as sleazy as I remember, but the drinks are still really strong.

Saturday: hungover and tired. I slept all day, until I had to go the Bell Museum that night and take a few photos at the Peter Ostroushko concert. It was really interesting music and we saw a clip from the new episode of “Minnesota: A History of the Land.” Then I went home and went back to bed. Sleeping is nice.

Sunday: woke up early-ish and went to the grocery store to buy the fixins’ for chili. After putting everything in the crockpot, Kristi came over. We watched a few episodes of Medium on DVD then went for a lovely walk in Loring Park and the Walker Museum‘s Sculpture Garden. Then we ate chili! She eventually left and I wasted the rest of the night.

Yesterday: first critique in my digital photography class. I don’t have the image I created (face composite) – I have to remember to get that the next time I’m in the lab. I did pretty well, though. It’s fun, though. I also registered for the GRE in early November.

Today: busy day at the museum, but now I’m in class — and I need to work on my new website. So… Auf wiedersehen!

On Tuesday I went to my web design class. My instructor is David Husom. I felt a little behind as most of the other students had taken semester one of the class (I am in semester two), but I think I will persevere. I was also distracted by the two or three other classes going in the lab and I was hungry. Tuesdays might be a weird day. Anyway, I made my first animated .gif:

Very exciting stuff.

I have an idea in my head of something even more spectacular and exciting for my class project.

On Wednesday I went to my digital photography class. My instructor there is Steve Stenzel (unfortunately he is already married). Steve seems really excited and the assignments sound awesome. One of the first assignments is to create a non-existant face from the face of five real people. I’m hoping my Photoshop skills become a million times more awesome this semester!

Yesterday I watched a whole lot of Medium (first two DVDs of Season 1 from Netflix arrived). I am very excited for the new season of this show and ER. Just so you know.

I am also working on a smallish sorta freelance project that I discovered through Ali. I have already increased my Photoshop skills by trying to find solutions for the project and I need to work more this weekend. I don’t want to reveal too much yet.

Today I gained access to the History of the Land website so that I can make changes for Barb Coffin, the executive director, in-house (at the Bell Museum) instead of sending small things to the design company that created the site.

In conclusion, it hasn’t been a terribly exciting week, but nice things are happening. And I still have time to watch my favorite TV shows.
