(no subject)

This hellish week is almost over. I finished my package design project from hell but am not happy with it. In fact, I'm kind of pissed that nothing worked out and I had to do last minute changes so I could at least finish it. I don't know what I'm going to say when I present it...I don't want to present it. I'm annoyed that I always do overly complicated things and everyone else does much simpler stuff. I wanted to do something simple but NO, it was "too obvious". I wish I could just start over and do this assignment differently. The coaster idea wasn't supposed to be the one they liked. They weren't supposed to be all "Yeah, you should totally do that, and a box to put them in". I wasn't supposed just say "Sure, I'll do that one and let me make it even MORE complicated by doing this and this and this, too."

So now I have a poorly constructed box and coaster set. I'm not proud of it and I kind of hate it. It's not completely awful but I know my teacher is going to be disappointed, especially after I sent him all of this information on what I was going to do and how I was going to do it. Gah, forty minutes till class. I really, really don't want to go.

Also, I utterly failed my depressingly "easy" illustration history quiz. I should have at least looked the artists over more. I barely looked at any and was just fucked when we got the sheet. So I guessed. Not even real guesses. It wasn't based on any educated guesses. God, today sucks.

ETA: Crit wasn't too bad. No one was completely done and he was disappointed overall but since we were all at that level it wasn't one of those "OMG YOU SUCK IN PARTICULAR" things. We have a new assignment now. It involves spices. I will definitely go simple and easily done on this one. I think I may want to silk screen so I should probably get home sometime soon to get those supplies...maybe Mum can bring them when she visits, actually. Will figure that out.

Anyway, I've now cleaned my dorm of the remnants of packaging and I feel better. Oh, and Shanah Tovah!
