I was busy last week with life stuff and was rushed on my homework. I think I have a good bead on things now, (homework, what to expect from what teachers, work hours, grocery stuff, etc) except my bills, but that will have to wait until the end of the month so I can get that organized.
School keeps moving along. I'm am doing more on Illustrator with instruction, so I like that. Today in my typography class, our assignment was to use Adobe InDesign to create a graphic using only words given to us, no pictures. I sketched out something by hand then tried it in the program, but the program wouldn't do it. I kept being told I couldn't do that, but I kept thinking "there's gotta be a way", so I created it in Illustrator and used the "place" function in InDesign to trick it into placing a picture when I was actually placing a different type of graphic, but it worked and I got to do what I wanted.
Now, in my Digital Illustration class, we are learning more about how to use Adobe Illustrator and last week I showed y'all a picture of Elvis I was going to render as a cartoon. Here it is. Don't laugh too hard, it's my first attempt at "drawing" a photo in this program! I think I did okay!

"Well it looks a little like him when he was younger. But yes it looks like you are doing really good with different art stuff."
Great first try! I know how HARD this is, so just keep practicing. You can only get better! :o)
