School's out! Well at least for the winter break. I'm glad it's finally here because you could clearly see how affected people were by the temptation of Christmas. For our last Information Illustration class we had the panel from the National Post back. Richard Johnson, Kagan McLeod, and Andrew helped critique our final projects. Basically we were told to do whatever we wanted within the confines of a study done over time. I came up with a whacky idea that I wanted to find out my taste in women . . . . . so i did it. Whenever I saw an attractive woman I would write down her characteristics (based on a set criteria) and then address her a rating from 1 to 5. I even got a little black book for it! In the end I created a poster showing my findings and furthermore, I turned my taste in women into an actual product (i.e. gum). I created three flavours based on my collected stats. I actually made hard copies and filled them with gum for the panel, and anyone else who was attending the crits. The presentation went over fairly well. Of course there was minor things they commented on. I'm getting more comfortable trying to sell my ideas and artwork lately. Just in time for next semester.

I wanted to post some animation I have done lately, but the files are too big to post. So . . . . I'll just tell you to look at a few friends animations in the mean time. Check out Yuta's, Juan's, Nimit's, Dave's, Shelly's and Carlie's. I'm now officially in the Bay, so I will be low key for a while. Started some new projects today. I'm sure you will all see them soon.
