Back to school
Today I started my last quarter. I'm not counting internship as a class (even though I have to show up every week to "meet" and pay for it-such b.s.) so the only class I have is portfolio. It will be intense for sure. Web Design and Interactive Media students have to have 3 components to their portfolio: the website, book, and a flash demo reel. The only thing we need to have to pass the class is our web site, but since we are all 12th quarter, everyone needs the other components for our final review to graduate. I'm glad this is the only class I have to take. I want everything to look perfect and if I don't have to worry about other classes I should have enough time to get everything done.
I really like my professor. He's a "tell it like it is" kind of guy. I hate when professors try to be nice. Tell me if you think my work sucks and fail people that don't follow the classroom procedures. I like no nonsense teachers like this. In the past, I've done well in classes with professors like this. He also has 38 years of experience in the graphic design field, so he knows his stuff and should be a big help.
Our first assignment is to write a "bio' about ourselves that we will eventually put somewhere on our website. Basically, it will just be talking about or strengths and things we stand for. I have a bunch of phrases and descriptive words written down on a piece of paper that I think sum up myself pretty well, but the hard part will be translating that into a few paragraphs that make sense.
In 3 months, all of this will be over
