I have no clue how to do my homework. None what so ever.

procrastination

This has been me all week.

lovely

I was looking at Kitsune Noir and he had poster this video. I think it is lovely.

It is actually a video for Vanessa Bruno's spring/summer 2010 collection. She is a french fashion designer.

pretty things

So last night Carmen and I had a craft night. She wanted to make origami cranes, and I fabric flowers. We both plan to hang them from the ceilings on our rooms. We went to the fabric and craft store got our supplies. Stopped at the Bulk Barn and grabbed some candy and headed back to Carmen's.

So I found instructions on a wedding blog I look at from time to time. And I thought, of these are pretty I'll try making them. Well two hours later I had only finished one flower.

I do think they are very pretty, but I don't know if I will ever get the time to make as many as I thought I could. At two hours per flower, I'll be making them for weeks.

SHORTS

Hello, it has been a week since my last post. opps. So this week has pretty much been a spring break for me. At NSCC we don't get our break till March, but because my two teachers went away, I don't have class till Friday. It has been great, I get to hang out with all my friends who are on their breaks. We went to a movie, went shopping, drank a lot of tea, had breakfast at Coara's. Today I bought shorts. I know it is a bit early for shorts, but they were just soo good. I couldn't resists. However i felt bad because I had to get the guys of H&M to take the shorts of one of the mannequins, due to their lack of my size. It took them a long time. Apparently clothes are really hard to get off and on mannequins there. Anyways I am happy about my purchase, I also got two pairs of tights, all my other ones have holes!

changes

So I changed the look of my blog a bit. I am trying to make it look like my business card (below).

And who doesn't like change once in a while?

p.s. I also changed my twitter settings to look like this as well. Which I hardly tweet anything... http://twitter.com/kmillss

lift

So last week, in one of the classes I did not attend....oops we were given an assignment in which we were to design the master title for a magazine. Now it wasn't a fashion mag, which I would have loved to do, but an aviation mag. I only found out about it this week. So in a few hours here and there today looking at other aviation magazines, some fashion and some car. I had an idea to use an arrow, to represent motion. You know, one pointing up, since the magazine title is "Lift Magazine: An Aviation Institute Publication". Get it life, up...yeah. Anyways here is what I came up with.

Of course colour would be added when it was put on the actual cover. But since I did not have an image to work with, there is no colour...boo.

Mad Men Me

Yesterday during the very long presentation that I mentioned, I was reminded of the website in which you can Mad Men yourself. So since I love that show, I decided to do once myself.

If you have never heard of the show Mad Men, I highly suggest you go start watching it from the first season. It is a great show set in the 60's focused around the happenings of an ad agency. The characters are great, the costumes are just up my ally.

sleepy

I woke up this morning terribly sleepy. I have no clue why, I got 8 hours of sleep. It was like my eye lips were made of cement and I could not stop yawning. To make matters worse, we had a really long presentation in first class. I am not saying it was boring, but it seemed to go on forever....

The day picked up after my medium sized tea kicked in, and once I got some food in my belly. But that still didn't prevent me from taking an hour lang nap once I got home this afternoon. Much needed I think. Now I am all dressed and ready for Proceed and Be Bold. A documentary/meet and greet event I am going to at my school tonight!

I am so sure of my decision!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY. I am not really that excited. I did have to make a Flash movie for my teacher, that was valentines day related. Here it is...

mansfield park

Why is it so much I love Jane Austen? I guess because her stories are what I hope for in a romantic ending. How I wish I could have a happy ending like the women in her stories aha.

Today I watched Mansfield Park. My third favorite of Jane Austen's books. though I have only actually read one book of hers, that being Northanger Abby, I have seen all the movies. Last year I based my like of each story according to how pretty the actress for the leading character was. Very wrong of me, but I did.

In order of which I like:

Pride and Prejudice

Northanger Abby

Mansfield Park

Emma

Persuasion

Sense and Sensibility

class

I really need to start going to more classes. Its usually only my early morning one, like today. Pre Press, see it doesn't even sound good. Most of the time I can manage around not going, and still complete my homework, I just need some help. And it may not always be exactly what he is looking for.

Next week, I will change and go to class.

life is hard sometimes.

swiss

For the last week I have been working on and off on this project:

We had to make a book cover in the style of swiss design. Which is very simplistic, lots of shapes, and Helvetica type. Grids are often used to line things up. I took inspiration from a poster I found online. I am pretty happy with the way this turned out, but I am ready to stick it in my back pocket and be done with it.

FUCK...

emy.

So Carmen is having her play shown at Kings this Friday. I designed a poster for her. Take a look!

I am excited to see it on Friday. I also painted canvases for her. One of the Characters is a painter. So I spent a day last weekend lending my painting skillss.
