Not much going on these last couple of weeks, just madly trying to finish up our final projects and hope that no lasting damage is done to our spirits (although it might be too late, for some...). Grad school is hard, yo!
My group for our Audience Insight class spent 6 solid hours today working on what we called "Week Zero Lite"--namely, designing a product for a targeted audience but without all the business/marketing planning side of it. We made a website for homeschoolers, which turned out pretty kick-ass, if you ask me. I am currently in love with the "Rounded Corners" feature in InDesign: it turns all boxes into boxes with ROUNDED corners! Eee! Excitement abound!! I'm trying to think of ways to incorporate the round-cornered boxes into my News Graphics/Design final...they just make me so happy! Clearly, I need to get out more.
Tomorrow will be devoted to my REAL Week Zero group, where we have to come up with a complete product plan for parents of children with autism. The designing part and thinking up story ideas and stuf is actually not so bad...what I'm really worried about is our presentations where we have to pitch our product to a panel of pros...and how we do is basically our grade for the quarter. Umm. Apparently it's pretty brutal and they just try to rip apart your product. I'm in charge of editorial/design strategy so...yeah. Tomorrow might be a bit iffy. Luckily, I like all of my teammates. Ooo! Maybe I will make granola for them! That would be fun.
Hmm...I wonder what it means when rounded corners and granola are the high points of my day...
