November 09

Hello people. I'm back, just been doing school, and trying to have a little fun. CD Package pictures coming soon. Can't wit until graduation but I will catch you later



Chris Brown still makes good songs to me.

Wowwy Wednesday

Class cancelled this morning, hmm i woke up early for nuthin. I need a hobby and i need a change of scenery because Riverside is definitely not the business. Just a bunch of random thoughts. Oh and I need a job an internship or something and I just found out that the last class I have left to finish my minor isnt offered next semester, therefore I'm thinking about dropping it, ya know as long as I have enough credits to graduate. IM GOOD.

Would You Rather have a smal bird poop in your mouth or french kiss a St. Bernard???
(This is a question from the Would You Rather Game lol)

Happy Fall

I guess haha. Hours away from my 21st birthday. OH YEA!!! Im going to some fun things. It's all about having the right music to jam to. Oh wells I haven't been on here in a while because school has started. No work til October, that's fine with me. Hmm more time to celebrate my Birfday.
Oh well I will take pictures and hopefully my roommates won't do this to my car again, not funny btw.


Oh and here's a song I can't forget thanx to watching tv with my one year old cousin.

Riverside, CA

What is there to do out there, I been goin to skool out there for 3 years, and I have yet to find something exciting. So if you from the area, hmm let me know what there is to do because I need some fun this year.

SO what you think of this shirt design.

I like this song

Jay Sean ft. Lil' Wayne "Down"

Last Year

MY last year of college, coming soon. Took all my life to get to this point, and I'm kind of excited to be out of school. Me and school have this love hate relationship. I'm a big time procrastinator but I get things done.
I kinda want to go all out for this last year because I haven't really done much. I just want to do a lot of things while I'm out on my own. You know it took forever for me to get out of my shell, even though I'm still in it, haha I will get to my full potential one of these days. Places I will go, most likely, Las Vegas for me and my roommates 21st, Baltimore - since my roomie loves the east coast since her internship, Atlanta - just cuz and maybe for Battl of the Bands or sumthin, ROad trip somewhere, last but not least, Florida- because I never been there.

Laugh of the Day

Haha this video made me laugh today, but I like their song too.

LA Tap Fest

Oops forgot to invite you, it was tonight. But here's the front cover of the program. I know its plain but it did have color, You know in the design world less is more.

How Do You Deal

How do you deal with the stuff life throws at you
Big things and small
The things that you dread
When times are already hard
And that depressing mood just takes over
It's all apart of life
There should be more good things than bad
But for everyone it is different
Whatever it is, you gotta stay strong
Because the best is yet to come
It's forever real so HOW DO YOU DEAL?

Lost

Why do things have to get lost, it's just not fair and when you least expect it. Lost things this summer: 4 gb flash drive with my graphic design stuff on it, 16 gb ipod touch, friends, and last but not least MONEY.
But no worries, I am trying to get over that and start anew, thinking of new ideas to stir up some fun. One of them include me and my buddy starting our own t-shirt line, name unknown. But I just want to start something fresh and simple. Be looking this new line soon, I am also taking ideas if you want to help out.

LOST
Being lost can sometimes pay the cost
You look and you look with a bit of exhaust
Over here and over there
Looking everywhere
Times can be hard, and you can be at your worst
And can seem like its a curse
In the end you find it or NOT
You will make new memories with the new things you got.

(Random poem- Drayagurl)

I love japanese game shows

HAHA this is funny.

Wow it has been a real long time. I have been kind of stressed out, got about 3 weeks left of school, trying to finda an internship or some kind of Graphic Design job for this summer. I just need something to do. I have also been trying to find a hobby or things to keep me busy, getting new friends and all of that. SO yea just giving you an update. Been also trying to get my roommates to do another you-tube vid but we never catch the things we do on video.
So anyways, this is a dance im workin on since more ppl are starting to figure out what it is.

Of Course

You guessed it, Quest Crew won America's Best Dance crew but i wonder by how much. Oh well another all male crew has won. I have nothing against them because I really liked them too.

Well for the most part my weekend was wack lol. I had so many plans for Saturday and I was out cruisin. But I either could not find the place or it was closed. I was all up and through Beverly Hills, Culver City, LA, Long Beach, Studio city, Universal City, Gardena. Just had a long Saturday thats all. But I did get some pancakes frum Denny's yay.. Anyways thats all for today Good bye bloggees.

Season Finale ABDC Tonight

So i love this show. America's Best Dance crew because I love dancing and it's just so awesome.The last two crews are Beat Freaks(ladies) and Quest Crew(guys). See I want Beat Freaks to win becuase they have had some great performances but last week Quest Crew killed it so I dont know I guess i will just show one of my favorite performances by each of them. Who do you want to win???

Spring '09 Projects

Hello again, this is Draya, of course on my day off from skool. Nothing to do as usual so Ijust wanted to upload some of my work from this semester. There is a band poster, movie poster, and an annual report. Remember I am in the intermediate stage as a Graphic Design student. I think that I am progressing well so here they are.

Annual Report Cover and Inside Spread

New Video

Guess what, the Get Silly Girlz are here.My roommates and I finally got our youtube video up so check it out, kinda funny, tell us what u think...

Hellurr

Hey hey hey, i know its been a while, but school has gotten boring. So you know I really have nothing to talk about so maybe to morrow I will talk about something but here is one of my favorite songs.

Monday, still raining

It has been raining since last week. Nothing interesting has come up for me to talk about. I know the GRammy's came on yesterday but I didnt really watch it. But guess what??? I go tickets to see America's Best Dance Crew tomorrow.. yay I am so excited. So I have class in the morning, then I come back and change and then I'm off to driving a long way to WB studios...woohoo. Here is one of my fav crews

New week

Hey all.. Happy February and Happy Groundhog day, woo hoo another 6 weeks of winter. Not not for Cali lol, we get more 80 degree weather. So yea another week ahead of me. Im content but I guess I need more activity in my life. Cant find a job, can't keep myself busy, sometimes theres nothing to do on weekends, so I just be lucked out. But anyways not much to say, that was just an update.
So i thought i would show one of my favorite dances right now called the stanky legg. they must have just made this video but they were popular on you tube before they hit the radio.. So go out and learn this weird dance lol.

Still Mad

The school is still getting on my nerves, but you know I don't wanna talk about that right now. Something that is on my mind is a Movie poster that I have to design. The concept is to make up a movie or revise a past movie poster that makes it look realistic. So being myself I pick a movie that I like and I generally like movies with some sort of dancing in them. The movie that I picked is "Stomp the Yard" which is pretty much this :

"When DJ (Columbus Short), a troubled youth from Los Angeles, moves to Atlanta to attend Truth University, he discovers "stepping," the age-old style of dance traditionally done in black fraternities, where teams demonstrate complex moves and create rhythmic sounds by using their bodies. DJ's raw talent and hip-hop inspired moves quickly place him at the center of a fierce rivalry between two fraternities, the winner of which will be determined in front of a sold-out arena at the annual stepping championships. But before he can help his teammates, he must battle his own demons and learn the true meaning of brotherhood.
A compelling drama about the quest for individuality and the power of fraternity, Stomp the Yard features some of the most original and exhilarating dance performances ever filmed. Starring Columbus Short (Save the Last Dance 2, Accepted) and Meagan Good (Waist Deep, Roll Bounce), Stomp the Yard is directed by award-winning music video
and commercial director Sylvain White (I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer), who brings his innovative visual style and explosive energy to the production."

Ok so u know stepping is all about brotherhood, stomping in bouts to hear the sound, fraternities, competitions, and stuff like that. So my idea is to have two boots on the cover but two different colors and have them representing the feuding frats, and to have like a brick wal background showing the roughness. I also thought to make it look like the names of fraternities were sketched into the bricks. To me that was a good idea because I wanted to show a different kind of culture. Im not trying to pull the race card but if you don't understand the concept of stomping the yard, which does involve schools, then you can't really guide me on how this poster should look. So i am going to try a different way with this, but I am still going to represent. Kinda had to get that off my chest.

BTW i wanted to redo this poster because the regular poster is good butit doesnt show what the movie is about.

What A Day

what a day..wow. again i have to say i hate waking up early for that 8:00 class...Long Day...Well i missed the Big Inauguration..aww. This weekend was really long, glad I had that 3 day weekend but I was just into alot, but i was in my apartment alot too, so I dont know.
I am mad because it only shows that I am registered for 3 classes and thats typically part time, but I am supposed to be a full time student and the thing is that I am in 4 classes and I have been to plenty of peoples offices, saying that they can authorize it and its just a long story, but its a simple thing that they can do in the computer. But they wont do it..Ahhhhh Im graduating next year, ima get through it ok.

Well i have nothing else to write about so i thought I would show some pictures of Michelle Obama since I think she is a very pretty First Lady. I,d say which dress do u like more?

Slow Week

Ahhhh sitting here on my favorite place to be...the Computer. yay...Another boring day gone by and now I dont even have class on Thursdays. So now I am going to be brainstorming all day and sketching things for ideas for the movie poster. Hmm maybe I will do a puzzle or sumthin...yea YOU should see our living room wall. Nothing much to say today but I am glad it is the middle of the week yea I will be somewhere this weekend but Im not sure where but I know it will not be at school. well anyways heres a dance I like to do. hope u enjoy

Totally Slow Tuesday

Hello everybody. SO today I had an 8:00 am class, and it has been a while since I had one. First of all I couldn't even get out of bed, then i showed up to class on time, *8:01* YEA, then I could barely sit up. It was just too much at once, because I am really not a morning person, the teacher even asked if I was ok lol...as soon as class was out I was back in my bed takin a nap, only to wake up an hour later to go back to the same class lol. So of course I take my afternoon nap and it was oh so good.
So I had my Graphic Design classes today and the first projects are: 1. Movie Poster, 2. Annual Report(more than what I have done before). SO yea I dont know which movie to pick (hmm..any suggestions) I think this semester is going to be pretty exciting.
Also coming soon, my roommates and I will be doing You-Tube videos with some interesting and funny ideas. So watch out for our channel coming soon.
WEll you know I had to find a video or something so since the inauguration is coming up, I thought I would post something that was relevant to that, so here goes, lol. I find it catchy.

Welcome back to my Blog

Well Happy New Year. I know im late but I kinda been busy lately. The new year has been good to me so far. Went to Vegas Monday and left Wednesday just to get back in time for skool isnt that awesome. Didn't get much sleep out there because I shared a room with a six month old baby. but we did celebrate my GRandpa's 70th birthday so that was a good event.

But anyways I'm having more fun back at skool than I did over my little short 2 week winter break, can't wait for spring break. Hmmm any ideas on what a 20 year old can do for Spring Break this year because I do not want to be at home??(Open for suggestions, will even tag along)

Well I only have four classes this semester so I am looking for a job, if anybody know's where they are hiring, I am open for ideas. Well I am always open for discussion on anything, but I know that hardly anybody reads this blog. But I am still trying to make it better you know.

So I thought that I would feature some of my work from last semester. SO here it is...

One is a website design of an organic clothing company called Rapanui. Another is an annual report I had to make up. And the other is a logo design for the name Rapanui.
