I have a month.

It’s really weird to be on break for the rest of the month. Strangely, I’m not used to not having something design-related to work on.

Anyway, one more semester to go before I graduate! :D Which means Portfolio is around the corner. Eeeep. I really need to prepare and get organized to save myself from a whole lotta agony and tears later. c:

I’m sitting here listing all the projects I’ve done since starting the GD + DM program that would make acceptable candidates for my portfolio.

I counted 25, and from that, there are 11 of them that I would consider putting in my portfolio. I think we’re supposed to have a minimum of 10, but I wanna keep myself open to a lot of options.

So, I want to do an independent project so I can fill in the gaps with more of what I need, which are branding and packaging pieces.

Options/Ideas:

• Alcohol packaging (beer, wine, flavored vodka, etc.)
• Honey packaging
• Kickboxing gear packaging
• (I wish I could do a zombie/apocalypse themed project…)
• Space Survival Kit
• A poster series
• ???

I’m not sure. I could do something specifically for a masculine audience. Most of what I have are colorful, feminine/unisex, and playful, so I could hunker down and do something classy, stylish, and striking for the boys. Iiiiiiiidk.

If anyone miraculously read this post in its entirety, and has any questions/comments/feedback/ideas, I welcome it with open arms and a chocolate chip cookie.

Back to square one.

Meh. My professor wasn’t too fond of my “Mind Matters” concept, and I’m not exactly fond about it either.

Although it’s a very personal subject for me, I’m not even sure where I’m going with it due to the fact that I have limited knowledge about the medical field, the demand for psychologists/ psychiatrists in the city, how they set up offices and facilities in Jacksonville and the whole shaboozie.

I’m not at all confident about pushing the idea. If I don’t feel confident about something, it usually doesn’t end well. I want this to go well because I’ll be presenting in front of Jacksonville’s mayor.

._.

The thought is still a bit unnerving.

Luckily, we’re still in the early stages, so I’m switching to attracting small businesses to Downtown Jacksonville.

Probably restaurants, because food.

Everyone loves food!

RIGHT? Right.

c:

Also the downtown area needs more charming, little bistros.

I hope this goes well.

This will go well.
