11/30

That was fun doing the Lie To Me exercise. Some people are good liars while others are just obvious. You can also tell who can read people's facial expression & who could not. I was ok at reading many of our peers expression and others I just could not. At first I did not understand why we were doing this but at the end of class I realized that sometimes you have to find a way for your client to believe that you are the best doing what you are doing.

12/2

Last day of class. I am kind of sad that it is over because I met a lot good & fun people. I did not realized how much I actually learned in this class. Today class I learned how much I have grown and in what area. I hope the food will be good on Finals Day. LoL!!!

(11/19/2009) One Campus, One Book Discussion on graphic novels

This was an event that CSULA Student Union had in the new Student Union Building. The event was sponsered by One Campus, One Book. It was a nice event that they had and I enjoyed myself. I have seen some of their comics before in the Los Angeles Times like La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz. Jamie Hernandez and Lalo Alcaraz spoked the most at the event. They spoke about how they create and where do thier ideas come from. They both work better at night time tham they do in the day.

Yes, I was late. I did see the examples of the creative briefs. I still do not understand what was the point of them yet. Need deeper explainations. The visual materials were intense, my brain felt like it was crashing.

Kim Baer Lecture (11/12/2009)

Wow, I like Mrs. Kim Baer's speech from last night. It is so nice to hear from someone who is originally from the Los Angeles area and works in L.A. So many of artists and designers who live in L.A. are not L.A. natives and they are more well known than our artists. I also, liked how she talks about it her childhood and that also she was sort of privileged but she is so down to earth. She is also, very honest on how she organizes her work and she is always busy. She likes it. I also like the fact how she emphazises to researching and knowing typography as a skill even though you can draw. This is something that many artists do not tell you. I am very happy that I was able to go to this special event. ;B

Wow, my brain feels like it's going to explode. @.@! Sometimes, you just can't multi-task. It was fun to that exercise in class. The group of people in the class is a real good crowd. It was nice to see other people's biography and how they try to express theirselves.

Class today was educational and boring for me. I did laugh a little bit. The films were more informative than enjoyable. Also, there were lot of positive feed backs about the class. So, I guess the class served its purpose. LOL!
I also get to blog once a week from now on after this week.
