what to do...


No select topic for this week, so the pressure is on. As I brainstorm up ideas of what to write about, I mean mean actually write about, here's some snacks to tide you over.

This first snack is cheesy. Last night one my my dreams came true. But actually. It has always been a dream of mine to go attend the Polaris Music Prize awards, and last night I got to shoot the show for Much! Blah I love interning for them. As much as I complain about wanting to get paid, it's pretty much amazing.

The night was filled with my type of celebs. Metric, Owen Pallett, Chad VanGaaland etc etc. My brain pretty much exploded.

My pics are up here if you care to check em out.

In poster news I still have to shoot some photos for my poster, but I've got a pretty concrete idea in my head. Even a few sketches on paper.

Here's the next snack. It's super delicious. Last night they awarded all the short list nominees beautiful limited edition posters that show's the spirit of the album. These are amazing. I want my poster to be just as stunning.

Wish me luck!

viva las photoshop



Snazzy right? Just made it in class. No big deal. Pretty much a photoshop pro. Well.. almost. I've been using Lightroom for the past year and have gotten a little rusty in the CS4 world. But that's what this class is for right? I think My postcard looks pretty profesh.

Stay tuned for my poster. Just saying it's going to be epic. Hopefully. I want to go all out. Kyle and I just got a radio show on SPIRITlive.net (it starts next Wednesday at noon) and I want to make us the best poster. Yes THE BEST. I'm thinking of taking really simple headshots of the two of us, and then going bizerk in editing.

I also really want to try out some of that hand drawn typeface that Laurie showed us in the lecture today. Either that or the bold retro style. One of the two.

Stay tuned for week too. It's gonna be filled with CRAP. No not that kinda crap. Ew you're gross. This kind...
