LIBERATION! (finished my degree... almost!)

I have just (almost) finished my degree in visual communications (illustration specialisation) and now actually have a little more free time to update my blog.
Things I have been doing these past few weeks:

• getting my portfolio ready for a mock interview. It now looks all professional and ready to take on the world.
• reworking my old drawings that needed a bit if finesse before I was comfortable with it in my portfolio. This included touching up things that my lecturers had spoken about with me. It was nice to show them the work that I had done and they all seemed quite stunned actually at the amount I achieved since they spoke to me about it. 
• freaking out over a theory subject that if I didn't pass I would not be able to get my degree

• somewhere between all the due dates, I still made time to go on an outing with my class as an end of year thing and catch up with my other half on a weekly basis... (even if I was completely glued to my laptop screen and my wacom tablet). 

Aside from the work I was doing, I was more than ready to toss my new 1600 buck laptop with all its awesome specs onto the road when I ran into a very frustrating problem. Basically, it was an issue with something in the registry and it wouldnt let me type anything on my computer properly. I disowned my laptop for a week and used the boyfriends (and my mums, VERY LATE at night) to get all the work done.

Only thing left now is my two week intensive-hence the 'almost' part in the title of this blog. It is called idea generation methods for designers. If you havent already, you must check out Sir Ken Robinsons video on how schools are destroying people who are creative.

I think he brings up such a good point that is easy to sit and listen to without getting bored because he seems to like adding in a little intelligent humour in here and there.

This is an example of what book 3 of my novel would look like when 

it is printed.

To the left is one of the images I used in my professional portfolio as an example for my book covers for my novel. I think it looks quite nice and I'm super excited for the day when I can go and get it published.






 Anyways, this blog is too huge now so I'll be quite. Please tell me your thoughts and what you have been up to.. ^_^ Kerryannne
