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?

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.
