Reeks Today

So I have recently just started my third quarter (I think I said that in a previous post) at IADT-Seattle. I just wanted show everyone the classes I am taking:
-Multimedia I- In this class I will be learning how to use Adobe Flash, and for those of you who don't know what Flash is it is basically a program for making flash animations for websites.

-Graphic Design I- You think I would've already taken this class...here we learn basically some history of Graphic Design and what it is. In this class all of our projects and assignments will be hand-rendered. I'm pretty excited for this but the teacher I have is very young and I don't think she has as much experience as some of my other instructors in previous classes. But who am I to judge?

-Digital Layout & Print Production II- One name...Cher. We have already been assigned our midterm project in which we must create the packaging for Cher's "Collectors Edition" 3 disc and Autobiography DVD which holds everything she has done since the beginning of her career till today. There are probably 25 people in this class and we all got the same artist...I understand where he is trying to get at where in the real world we don't get to choose our own clients, but this is ridiculous he could at least randomly assigned four artists each artists having four concepts.

-Illustration- I'm am very excited for this class, the first day I found out that my instructor was inaugurated into the League of American Illustrators (or something like that) just recently which makes me feel like I will actually be learning something. However she talks really fast and rambles...I'm an asshole. So in this class for the first half of the quarter we will be doing hand-rendered comps of our assignments. And for the second half we will be learning Adobe Illustrator which is a vector-based graphics software (type in vector based into google and you can see numerous samples of vector-based graphics). I have been using Illustrator for almost 2 years now I'm not as proficient as I would like to be but I know my way around.

So that is my class list, my schedule is:
Mondays 8:00 am-10:45 pm (first 3 classes)
Thursdays 8:00 am-12:40 pm (last class)
Each class is about four hours long with a couple of breaks in between, I really like this because it gives me a lot of time during the rest of the week to work and do homework like should be right now but instead I am writing in my blog which no one even reads.
