Lately...

Ok, so recently the course has gotten frustrating with how, everything is due at the once and everyone seems to think they are the most important, and that each of us actually has the time and means to do everything they say when they say it so... yeah. That ain't true. So's you know. We are kinda dying.

Well we got a new brief for Pathways, we are to create a book, based on a journey. Now this can be any interpretation of a book or journey that you want or can think of, makes narrowing down possibilities kind of hard but I think its one of our best briefs. I've decided to base mine on the journey of a student through every day life. The physical journey and the figurative, like through the thought process and the toils they overcome. It will partially be based on my own experience because I travel far, and what I experience specifically as an art student. But then my life can be boring so I thought maybe have it based on the average student for parts, like how, generally, students socialize, parties, drinking, websites, etc. Although, I don't want it to be like a picture book, but too much words would wreck not only the aesthetic but the idea behind it to just portray the thoughts and feelings which might be difficult without words.

For the fact of the book I wanted to make a literal hard back book, which will be difficult but will be worth it if I do it right. Either it will look like a fancy book that students would use to research or study, look like a textbook, or there are more ideas but they've escaped me. Basing it on a notebook style with the lined pages and maybe even coffee rings and stuff in it because obviously students stay up late, live off caffeine whether in coffee or energy drinks.

I don't have many ideas because well... we only got the brief today.
