Blogs

Still behind on blogs, I finished my project last night and thought I was done until I realized I still don't have the minimum amount of blogs. I think blogging was one of the biggest challenges of this project for me, I never found the time. Which is a pretty lame excuse considering we only needed three a week, but I fell behind so I ended up doing like 5 a week and still being behind! It was tough.

Done!

I am completely done scanning them in and adding text and editing! With all my materials due 6/2 I'm just in time. Although I wont have my publication done in time for my materials due, I still plan on having the publication done by my presentation on the 9th of June. Here's a sample:

Computer problems

Technology is so unreliable. My printer is broken, it won't scan or print. Gotta go get a new one so I can finish this project! The universe is against me finishing this project right now :( 

Book Dummy

I finished all of my finals and started putting them into the computer, I made a little book dummy and I'm starting to get that feeling of success!

Thanks Dad

I was having a really hard time continuing my project, so much to do in too little time. I called my dad (he's illustrated before) and he told me to take a couple deep breaths and remember this is supposed to be fun, and to enjoy it while I can. He told me it would all be worth it in the end and he told me how to better manage my time with upcoming deadlines like this, like laying down the water color on one, then while that one dries, start the other.

I had painted this entire painting except the dock. Then I messed up the dock by putting the wood lines in the wrong direction!! I was so angry and I wanted to crumple up the whole thing and start over but I wouldn't have time, so I tried fixing it. Hope its not too bad..

Coral Painter Problems

I wanted to use Coral Painter to edit and touch up my paintings, but my account expired and I'm not able to log on unless I pay a ridiculous amount of money :( but! I do have another program called Sketch Book Pro. I don't really know how to use it, but I will learn just in time for my presentation. This definitely puts a damper on my work flow, but I will get past it and finish.

June 9th- Backwards Planning

The date of my presentation has been switched a bunch, which isn't anyones fault! But I'm happy wit this date, I have a little more time to prepare but not too much that I won't be motivated. Because the senior trip is this weekend, I need to have the majority of my project done by Thursday, then I can edit and finalize Sunday before it needs to be turned in Monday.
