Who knows what Optus may be talking about? I sure don't! :P

Yay, I finished it (for the most part, some little tweaks here and there needed). Go hire me to do something! :D

FILLER: Tidy
Well, gotta think up of a short story arc for the next 2 months. Hopefully cleaning my desk will...clean..open...my mind? :P

UPDATE: Final Finals
Ok, so I couldn't get *everything* done Friday. -_- There is 1 last job left, which is actually due this Tuesday, I just was trying to get ahead. :P Unfortunately, it wasn't as easy I thought it would be. So...hopefully I should resume *something* by next week, with a couple random posts for this one. But I'm pretty much done with my first semester! Huzzah.

School: Winner
So, my group won the competition. It was extremely nerve wrecking as they went down the list of all the entries, which were e-mailed to the director to be judged by a group of professors and herself. First half were the entries for the concert, second was ours with the Communication and Design entries. They showed ours second to last, so the whole time I was worrying whether I had e-mailed it wrong or something. Anyway, let's go back to the beginning.
We started on Tuesday with 2 speakers, Guillermo Valverde and Germán Barreneche. In the evening we began brainstorming the ideas for the poster we had to make. My group was really enthusiastic, and they were throwing ideas around everywhere. I sat back and doodle the following in my book:
So I showed my idea to the 1 or 2 people sitting by me, but I never presented it to the group. They had their own idea going, and weren't really paying attention to my sketchbook, so I didn't really care about anything at that point. They had asked the 2 guests for help and advice. On one of these discussions, the guest through out an example for us (as it seemed he wasn't really into any of the previous ideas). The idea he drew, was pretty much my second doodle, a speech bubble with a scribble (in my case, a blob of paint) in the middle. When he drew that, I pulled out my sketchbook. He looked at it and seemed impressed, asking if I had presented this. Admitting I hadn't, he told me not to stay quiet about anything, present everything. Anyway, we continued the brainstorming.
By then, seeing as how my idea didn't seem unanimously received, I got bored and was walking around checking out the other groups' designs. Near the end, I was outside talking with friends, almost ready to leave when they called me inside. They were talking to the second guest (Germán, I believe) who had a speech bubble with the appearance of a paint palette. The group told me to show him my book, so I did. He was really impressed as well (something to note, is that both of them pointed out my first doodle, the one with the pencil. They seemed to have liked that one a lot as well.) He congratulated me for the idea, and told me that I just needed a little bit more effort to have reached the palette idea. My group cheered and that day ended awesome.
Unfortunately I wasted that night Photoshopping some images of the idea I last heard we were gonna use (as the group never told me, ok, let's use yours). Oh well, Wednesday came, 2 other dudes spoke (mainly on urban art), and once again we started working in the evening. This time I busted out Inkscape and started working on the actual design of the palette bubble. By the end of the evening I had a cool vector style drawing. However, Germán suggested we try a more realistic approach, by Photoshopping a palette into a bubble. At night, I finished up a set of the final designs to choose from:
So, Thursday came, final day to finish our work. We decided to use my photoshopped palette, but the various teachers we asked recommended different backgrounds. The group decided on black eventually, and I had to edit the darn JPEG manually to fix it seeing as how I left the editable PSD at home! :P The end result is below, once again. So, it was definitely an interesting experience. I apparently won a tablet (getting it Monday) but it's probably the lesser-known Genius brand, one that doesn't really compare to my current Wacom. ;) So I'll be selling that. Lastly, the Germán dude told me to stand up, and I was actually complimented as a "serene intellectual" in front of all the graphic designers at the University! (At least, the ones who were still left in the auditorium, some had left since they lost ;P) Congratulated by all my class, we then watched the University's salsa dancers show off their moves, and here I am, feeling great. Back to work on all the finals I have left!! X-P

School: DG Week Competition Entry
This week was graphic design week at the University. Some conferences in the morning, and work all evening on a poster that we are competing against the whole group of graphic designers at the University. Splitting up into groups of 10 each, we are split into 2 groups of 7 it seems. One group is competing for some sort of University concert poster, while the other (mine) is competing for a "Department of Communications and Design" poster. Tomorrow they announce winners. I'll write up a nice story tomorrow with my whole design process.
Tell me what you see, think, eat.

Project: Mastastealth.com
So I probably mentioned this before, but when my semester finishes, I plan on launching a freelancing site to start earning some money (so I can pay for next sesmester! X-D). Here is my current design, I'm liking the wider looking version...

#574 Ze End
And so concludes this piraty (and longest, at 90 strips) chapter of Just Deserts. I probably won't update much for the next month till I finish this semester. For the mean time, I'll try and integrate my new Twitter so at least there's SOMETHING on this page that gets updated regularly. :P And who knows, perhaps upload scans of any comics or projects I may be working on. Thanks for reading. ;)

Project: Perspective
Being the noob that I am, I decided to draw a cathedral in a city (based off a St. Patrick Cathedral photo I saw). Project is supposedly for a group of 4, though I'm most likely gonna draw everything. >_> Due Thursday. -_- Sorry image is so dark, the paper is a huge poster (around the size of the ones you see at theatres for upcoming/showing films) and I took the pic with my camera in my low-lit room. Photoshop's filters didn't help much. :P Also, we're not allowed to use ruler, so don't nag me about that.
