Patience Into Perseverance

December 8th, 2007 Entries

I know the year’s not over yet. But with school done, it might as well be over.

This has been an extremely trying year. And I think I’ve learned much about patience through it. I think next year will be about working on perseverance.

Here’s a question to kick it off, just off the top of my head:

At what point is perseverance not the right move anymore and it’s time to just give it up?

The end of FA302

It’s been another awesome year of design class. I’ll update my portfolio with those projects that just say “coming soon” when I get the chance.

In the meantime, here is my process book (a book of how we came up with our designs and ideas):

If you want to see and read it in person, you’ll have to wait until the first couple weeks of next semester when I get it back. The numbers: 22 double sided pages of 32lb paper, 2 4-layers of 32lb paper as covers, 12 fl. oz of paper cement, 4 broken needles

Special thanks to Pastor James who helped me with “drilling” my holes. After I went home from sewing the book, I realized that I had to change up my stitches because I still wanted to trim all four sides. So I cut the ends that originally looped around the bottom of the book and used my x-acto knives so I could knot them like a surgeon.

Afterwards, I used ducktape to cover the binding, which also helps to hold the thread down a bit.

Here’s a pic from our last day in class when we presented our final group project. With the three most awesome design teachers at USC sitting there, you’d think it was like Project Runway or something.

Looking for Clarity

A million things running through my head.

It’s weird how getting clarity about something makes me feel differently toward it.

Yet again, I’m unsure of so many things.

Do what You will in me.
