Oooookay....so....our assignment in Typography this week was supposed to be done in a combination of Illustrator and Photoshop. And I tried, I really did. But then....fuck it - I did it in Publisher and copied it in. Again - sue me. What. Freaking. EVER. Have I mentioned I hate Adobe? WHITE-HOT HATE! So....we were supposed to redesign a flyer using the principle of proximity. Also, my Typography instructor is kind of a prick and very in love with himself so....his expectations, they are high. My skills in Adobe, they are low, as will probably be my grade on this. But after almost a week of wrangling around with this shit, my response is Fuck. It.!!! So....here's what I came up with:
So that's it for school for this week. New assignments and classwork should be posted tomorrow and the fun shall continue. I am contacting the school tomorrow about getting some Adobe tutoring cause man - this sucks! Wish me luck y'all - I need it! Cheers!
Awwww, poor poor AMO! And- much as I love Adobe and all the wonders it has given us-- I have to say, WTF? That is NOT the software for publishing! Quark is the demon-pro publishing software! Seriously, Illustrator and Photoshop are for making shiny elements of a page, not the whole dag page!
ReplyDeleteWish I could be there to help you out, hon- good luck finding a tutor, and do it ASAP!
Yeah, I don't know why we're using these programs for this stuff either, but I don't make the rules. I'm sure I'll probably get busted on this assignment not being up to his standard but....what. freaking. ever. Once I get the lay of this software stuff, I'll be turning out the coolness no doubt! And I did get a tutoring session scheduled for Monday. Yay! :) There's also a class I can sit on if I need to. Really though, I just need to sit with someone who knows the programs and pick their brain a bit so....it's all good. :) Thanks again for the comments and sympathy - makes me feel less alone in all this. :) Cheers!
