Headache.

Have you ever had the feeling of your skull is splitting in two?
That the only real person you really want to hurt is you?
You hate yourself so much that you wonder where did everything go wrong?
You regret giving yourself to that person for that long?
That is called heartbreak and I’ve felt the worst one.
Where the person that you thought loved and cared for you, just used you as fun.
It happened so quickly you didn’t even know.
That this feeling in you would ever show.
The pain is deep and you can’t escape it.
It has happened before and all you want to do is give up and quit.
You wish you hadn’t experienced something like this at all.
Lost and loneliness are the only two things that you truly feel, nothing more than someone’s doll.
Even though that they are gone you wish you still had one more chance.
Just wanting to fix everything with just a single song and dance.
They try and pin everything on you, so you’re the one to blame.
Really they are just wallowing in their own shame.
You gave everything, tried as hard as you can, to keep everything ok.
As hard as you tried they kept on saying to you no way.
Everyday you wake up with hoping it was just a dream.
Then you come to realize that it is the same old theme.
Waking up in a bed all lonely and cold.
Feeling of wanting that person just to have and hold.
It’s the same pain that people feel after the end of a long lasting marriage.
Like something ripped out your heart so rigid and ravage.
Now all you have to do is move on and live your life.
The only thing is that I know how you feel; it will forever more hurt and cut like a knife.

A Hard Time for Jobs and Computer Software.

Well now since I am currently out of graphics courses in college of course I am searching for Graphic wise based jobs.  It isn't as easy as everyone says it is.  Really I don't have any of Adobe CS4 and as I was looking for purchasing I noticed that a normal job like Dunkin Donuts can't pay for it.  Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars is ridiculous  I mean come on a normal college student like myself can't really afford those types of programs while being in college, because we still have intuition to fill out and loans to pay for.  I also looked at job wise and I really want to work in either New York City, New York (for popular magazines) or even L.A. California.  The reason for those places is mostly because I know in those types of areas is where the big companies are located.  Maxim Magazine and even some of the big Sony business is located in New York City and of course Hollywood with big Hollywood movies, companies and ect....  I don't mind if I work in say Tampa, Orlando or even Miami, but really I just want to reach  for where the money is located.

The room which is unlike any room in Vegas.  In class we were given the assignment to pick any room that we wanted and make / design it in 3d.  Well I actually wanted to do a room that I figured that a lot of people did not do or a company that many people did not see to do.  I did Hugh Hefner's Las Vegas Villa room in the Palms.  I had so much fun designing this, even though there were a lot of bumps on the way like lighting all and all I was happy with the outcome and process of the whole thing.  Lighting was a key factor in the bumps during the process.  I had so much lighting that it cranked up my render time to about 2 hrs just for an image, and due to the time that it was due I had to find out how to manipulate some of them so they gave the same outlook.

Ah Skateboarding the one thing that I thoroughly enjoy. As you already know right now I am currently working in 3-D modelling and the advertisements that I have chosen to advertise is Blind Skateboards. This process was not as quite as simple as the other advertisements that I have done because I had to really get to know some of the tools and techniques of them highly more than usual. For each skateboard I had to use the magnet tool in-order to get the shape that is need. Not only that but the holes where the trucks are, I had to make a boole for each hole which was difficult, because unfortunately there were tiny bumps in the way that made the object itself try and figure out how to make it work with each line segments it already had. I believe that this assignment is one of my best works yet and I know that I will get better and will be one of the best of what we do as graphic designers.

Cinema 4-D v.s. Still Image Animation

Nightmare Before Christmas a movie made by Tim Burton as well as a movie that a great number of people love to watch all year around. Currently I was watching on how they made this movie and I couldn't believe on how long it takes just to make a second of the film. By doing still animation it took 100 shots to make only a second for the movie. All together it took 3 years to complete the whole thing. They also used over 200 hundred puppets for every character and 40 facial expressions to uses, by slipping the head onto the body. Having the appropriate lighting was also a big deal. By having the appropriate lighting you would be able to see the darkness of Halloween town to give it that eery look and then again the brightness and joyful sense of Christmas town.

I could not believe on how long and tedious this movie was to make. I was criticizing on how easier it would of been in 3-D animation. Because all they would have to do is create the character and the stage pretty much just once or twice. By creating it the 3-D aspect they would of been able to mimic and show facial expressions just by using bend tools and to give it more depth just play around with some lighting.

Cinema 4-D

Ah Cinema 4-D, what a program. Cinema 4-D is a unique program that I myself have grown to love in the past two weeks. I have yet mastered the technique of every tools, but I know I will by the end of the second month of this class. As you can see I have uploaded an image of a logo that I have created for Mr. Andrew Philips, a fellow classmate of mine. Our assignment was to get to know one of our class mates and create a logo for them. So as I got to know Andrew a little bit more I started to ask about how he would like his logo to look, what colors does he like, approach he was going for and what he sees his personality being. I used a lot of the spline tool to create this image, better yet all of the image that you see here is all done with the spline tool and then combined with a nurb. Yes it was difficult and hard at times but with proper lighting effects and a mirror image I believe it turned out fantastic. Even Andrew liked his logo after he saw it. He said to me that it was what he was looking for. Having sharp edges, dark colors and given a eery feel to the creation.

Chapter 2 Outline

In chapter two of our book I've learned many things when it comes to art history. For instance I've learned a lot more about how we came from hieroglyphics and choosing the correct font that we need for illustrated work. Not only has our text and font came a long way our ability to use devices such as a type writer turning into a designing machine that we call a computer (apple preferably). With this computer we can design many interesting pieces that can attract people attention and make them believe even the un-believable. Another invention that we are using today is the camera. At first it was just a machine that was used by holding up powder to make the device work and snap a picture, but now it has evolved into a digital camera. This device is so useful in terms of actually taking a photo of someone or something so you can manipulate and add additional features in your design to make it more eye catching and appealing.
