This past week has been insane. I literally tweeted the following:
Sleep. Class. Work. Class. Sleep. Class. Work. Class. Sleep. Eat. Sleep. Class. Work. Class. Sleep. Class. Work. Class. #effingstarving
The National Student Advertising Competition is finally, after a year of preparation, taking place on campus this Saturday at Willey Hall. I can't even tell you how excited I am. I've been involved in brainstorming and developing our creative concept, producing our book, and now our Keynote presentation. It's all coming together, and I really think we have a great chance this year.
I also finished PAUSE, the magazine I've been art directing all semester, last night at 1:30 am. It's finally off to print. I had a minor freakout this morning that I might have forgotten to update a caption; turned out to be just fine (it's amazing how paranoid design work can make you sometimes!).
In other news, I have a job interview at Martin Williams Advertising (http://www.martinwilliams.com) next Friday for a Data Visualist position! Data visualization is a developing area of design--it's all about the production of graphics for the purpose of making information beautiful. Check out this site for some sweet examples: http://datavisualization.ch. Here's the infographic I produced to be considered for this internship!
I also made it past the resume/cover letter round for the O-Tern program at OLSON this summer (http://www.oco.com), and was required to submit an undeveloped disposable camera, full of pictures of things I was curious about. I decided I should brand it.
As everything comes to a close, I'm not even able to focus on the things I'll miss. I'm sure the Monday after commencement, though, I'll be singing a different tune.
