sad news.
no wicked cool pixar internship for me. got my generic rejection email. my chin is up, this was the second time at "no," but I have already begin to plan how to blow them outta the water. i am thinking maybe just mail myself as my portfolio instead. that way i would at least finally get inside the gate and look around. anyways, i am not even mad or that disappointed, because i know it was a long shot, but i just really wish i could get my portfolio back.... it was sweet!
if you want help me plot a way to get into pixar so i can steal it back, you let me know.
next year.....
third times a charm.
oh p.s. i dont like panda fortune cookies anymore either, it said good things would happen in May. it was wrong.

back to design.
ok, soo i know i haven't posted in a while.
i have just getting my quarter in order. as for a little update on whats going on...
1. I am working with Cuesta's English department on their Literary Annual Tellus. I am just finishing up this weekend and then it will be sent off to the printers Tuesday morning. This will be my first heavy text book! For all the Cal Poly people it is Cuesta's version of Cp's Byzantium.
2. I am finishing up the marketing for ASI's "May Mayhem" aka the UU on crack. It is similar to the "Dusk 'til Dawn" event I designed the marketing for earlier in the year. The Mayhem concept was about things going in every direction, lots of arrows. (see below)
3. I love number 3! That's because #3 is my side projects. haha. I am not gonna spill the beans yet. These projects are still in the concept phase, but I teaming up with friend and working on some stuff. I want it to be a surprise, but as for the medium we are going to explore with photography and illustrations. Lots of movement and minimal color, you will just have to wait and see.
As for the completed stuff...
I am finally posting JUNO!
6 boxes of Tic Tacs, lots of scanning, a little illustration and hand drawn messy (on purpose) type = The posters for the upcoming screening of JUNO through ASI.

day off.
so I am only posting this to remind others that sometimes it is good to take a day off. yesterday was my first day off since the quarter began in january. anyways, it was wonderful, went and got coffee and it was a little rainy. good hang out day. looked for books and just hung out. i finally got to start my new book "the learners" by chip kidd. so far so good.
one good quote i liked so far...
"I'm a graphic designer... I pretty much see the world as one big problem to solve. one typeface, one drawing, one image at a time."
i'll post more as i read.
one more paper to write and then quarters over. and then it's on to play with my letterpress over spring break. below is a shot while drinking coffee and then a shot of my book.
