I think I'm going to do jewelry making for my how-to/process project. I'll do a step by step guide to making a specific necklace and possibly, earrings. I'll also include the basic tools, basic techniques and bead stores in the Baltimore area. I'll have to do my own photography for this, which should prove interesting. And I'll also need to design the necklace and make it twice, once for the initial design and once for the actual project. Fun. This also means digging my jewelry design stuff out of storage. Double fun. I don't think I'll actually have time to do all of this between now and Saturday, unless I don't bother to sleep, so my rough draft will be sort of designed, but pictureless (perhaps, I'll substitute colored pencil sketches). At least I've nailed down an idea for this project. Not that I could have started working on it any earlier than tomorrow night anyway.
Speaking of projects and workload, I'll agree with others who've said the pace of this semester is a little off. Okay, a lot off. In a real world situation, a flash project takes more time than, say, a sign or a magazine spread. However, we didn't get any more time for the flash project than any other project. It would have been uber helpful if the flash project had been introduced pre-spring break. Other than that, the other projects have been fine. It's this flash project that's throwing the whole pace of the class off.
I need another word for project. I've used it far too much in this post.
