response: logos. are hard. i think the biggest strugggle with this project for me was the fact that i was not particularly excited by the subject matter that i was dealing with. alhtough i like a challenge, i figured for a logo that is for a sequence at mizzou, i would be limited to black and gold. so that's what i stuck with. and i think they will pick something black and gold. anyway, i found myself getting bored with everything i was coming up with. i worked hard on it, though, but it wasn't a particularly enjoyable process. oh well. i'll see better days, i'm sure.


critique: short talk. i designed for short talk this week, and thought my illustrations turned out ok. i just hate how everything ends up looking like clipart. but oh well. also i learned that the editors are not supposed to hold any text until the monday before production. i was told that for in one ear and five things, that it was ok for the eiditors to write that after my design was due. not so. also the editors way overshot how much stuff they could fit on a page. it was kind of crazy. i wasn't told about sidebars until i found them in the text. it was kind of a mess and a lot of miscommunication. oh well. it worked out, and will hopefully go more smoothly next time.

can't miss this.
