Working on the thesis

It is spring break, here at Roger Williams University, and I hardly know it. I have been working on my thesis for a majority of the time because our mid-review is next Friday. I am a little stressed out about it because I want to have a lot done for it, but its just taking forever. I have finished my cad plans enough to start 3d modeling on Revit, but since I just got a new laptop, my Revit wasn't fully functioning, so I had to waste a work day to reinstall it. It takes forever to install! Fortunately, my parents came to visit yesterday and I didn't really waste time because I was going to spend time with them anyway while my computer was reinstalling. Anyway, it's Saturday which means I have 2 days to work before my (not)fun-filled week and classes start again:(

On a high note, I found some new sites for some good cad blocks in addition to cben.net...

Also, just a note for myself to have somewhere so I don't forget...

My First Post

I don't really know what to say, so I'll just post some pics from my latest design project. The assignment was part of my DSGN:100 Intro to Graphic Design class. The assignment was to create compositions based on the six design elements: color, line, texture, value, size, and shape that would be turned into cards with the original image on one side, and the manipulated image on the other side. Then we had to make an origami box to house the cards. My group's topic was nature, so we had to use images that we took from nature to create our composition.
