I'm pretty sure my illustrations for this Flash project will not be completed for the rough draft round on Saturday. Since I'm doing them by hand, I'll probably get halfway through and the rest will have to be thumbnails for my storyboard. But, I'd rather do thumbnails anyway because in my opinion (and my professional experience), that's what a rough draft is. I hate to do too much for my rough drafts and then have to go back and change a bunch of stuff that wasn't working. I'd rather do some sketches and mock it up that way than draw and paint tons of stuff that I ultimately won't use. For me, this is the most efficient approach.
Coincidentally, I decided to take the Flash workshop at UB that's offered this semester. I had signed up before I even knew we were going to have a Flash assignment for this class. But, the workshop couldn't be at a more timely moment in the semester for me. I've used Flash a little before, but I figured I'll learn even more from the workshop.
I changed my mind (again) about next semester's classes. I decided against taking Editorial Style, mostly because it starts 8:15 pm and I don't think I'd survive a semester of driving home from Baltimore at 11 pm. I also think that it's a bit redundant from what I did in undergrad and I'd rather take Writing for the Marketplace or Scriptwriting for grad school. So, instead of Monday night Editorial Style, I'm taking Thursday night Typography (and I should still be home in time to watch LOST). I'll still be taking Media Design. I'm pretty set on that one, but it was a toss-up initially between that and the special topics motion graphics class.

oh crap I didn't even think to factor LOST into my schedule because I was so concerened with football season.
originally i was going to do Media Design and Typography but that is 2 'art' classes at the same time (on top of work)
I'm trying to keep in 1 art 1 writing class per semester though I'm not really sure that Digital Ecomony is even much of a writing class.
Yes, unfortunately, that will give me two art/design classes, but the bulk of the classes I want to take are art/design. It's inevitable that I get stuck with more than one in a semester. And I'd rather have a 5:30 class than an 8:15 class.
Aren't we allowed to take classes at MICA, too? I'd love to take an illustration class.
