{In for another review}

Its that time again.
the time where I put my heart and soul into many projects and have 5 very important people critique the heck out of them.

Its time to decide if I am cut out for the studio track {please, please, please be this one:)} or the business and marketing track.

This year they had us line all our projects up next to each other where they can compare us to everyone. SCARY!

I am happy and proud of my work that I turned in. I have come so far since last years review {go here and here}
Its so amazing how far and how much I have learned in just 1 year!
I am very proud of my progress and I know that I did the best that I could have done and so it is in the hands of the professors!

here is my projects that we had to turn in
{excluding my tiny house model}
{go here, to see my model}

{we had to pick a chair and build it up in 3D and then render it in 3D max, super hard, but fun at the same time}




this project cost me many sleepless night, stress, cold sores,and hair pulling, but one of my favorites:)
I loved this project, I felt like a real designer!!

We had to pick an artist to build an art gallery around them. I picked Casey O'Connell {she is amazing, please go check out her work,its perfection!} {plus she was such a doll to work with to get permissions and her paintings to put into my rendering, I loved working with her!} and her painting "When freckles Collide" for my inspiration. We then had to to a program board on what the space would need and what we could offer the artist. Then a concept board explaing how we would incorporate our inspiration into the space. finally we built up the floor plan and did spot renderings to show the material we would use in the space.

THEN THE BIG ONE! the point perspective rendering. this is where we pick a spot in the floor plan, built it up in 3D, hand sketched it and hand rendered it and put it in photoshop to add lights and realism.

It was so much fun, but so much work. It made me realize what I would be getting into and I LOVED IT!
this made my passion for interior design grow tremendously and I wanted to grow and become even better and make a difference in the design community.

Thanks for all the encouragement, critiques, and advice from all my family and friend! your all amazing and I am so grateful to have you all!

I will find out this Friday after 4:30

Wish me luck!!

{blah, thats all I gots}

BLAH.

I ran outside for the 1st time since the training of the 1/2 marathon had began.

BLAH.

I don't know why but I could NOT get a good rhythm therefor I could not run well.

I felt like someone was ripping out my lungs with a dirty devil vacuum & I felt like I was foaming at the mouth like a dirty animal with rabies. it was horrible

Actually I had to switch from running to walking.

BLAH!

I hated how I couldn't do it! I felt so good and on track and know I feel like I am starting over.

Maybe it was my new shoes, maybe I just am not meant to be a runner

Blah.

Any suggestions?

{the hair pulling has stopped....for now anyway}

The chair project is done. YESSSSS.
I really liked it, except that my chair gave me major stress.
it just wouldn't build right,my teacher even said "damn-it" and "oh hell" a lot while helping me.
so I guess it wasn't just me.
so this chair is the back up, almost like the real things, but not exactly.
Im still working on the real one, but who knows if that will ever come.
my favorite part of this project was the rendering of the room. I really liked it and enjoyed actually making a room look real with lights and everything.

and of course working in photoshop is always a big plus!

It makes me really excited for all the future projects that I will be getting in the next 2 years.

I love it!

{March right in please}

Yesterday the the weather was absolutely delicious
but you know when you have something so scrumptious you have to have more and more and you can never have enough of it?

well Spring weather cannot come soon enough this year
I just want the warm sunshine on my skin
and the bright colors to come back to Logan
{oh and the cute cute clothes are always a bonus}
{I sure miss wearing skirts}

So come soon Spring, you surely have been missed
