Things To Make And Do
Dang. Sorry for the somewhat long delay. But if this keeps going on, I think weekends are gonna be the only days on which I'll be able to blog. The reasons: school, school, school and a fucked up day/night rhythm. My courses and projects at KABK are running on full steam now and keeping my quite busy. Here's why...
Monday:
Typography – Business Card and Type Specimen in form of a poster
Tuesday:
Spacial Design – create an exhibition/installation in one of the main halls of the school on the topic 'Private/Public'
Poster Design – design a poster for the exhibition
(both courses already finished, but will restart in April)
Wednesday:
nothing (thank god)
Thursday:
Concept Design – make a 'Demonstration Manual', search for a thing you want to demonstrate against/for and make a manual on how to do it in a unique and creative way (big ass project)
Type Design – create your own Font
Friday:
Web Design – create your own website with CSS
Calligraphy – learn how to create beautiful letters by hand
All the courses start early in the morning at 9 or 10 which means getting up at around 8. Horrible! My lazy ass is still used to the laid back Copenhagen come-and-work-when-you-want attitude and adapting very slowly. The fact that we're organized in classes, with even our own classroom, doesn't make it easier – absences are noticed quickly, in Calligraphy we even have to sign a list. When I get home I'm usually so trashed from having to get up so early + school, that I fall asleep for a couple of hours. Then I get up, do some chores (dishes, groceries etc.) and start doing homework. At about 2 or 3 I hit the sheets, if times allows it, with a movie beforehand. So far I haven't been out a single night. Even if I wanted to, I either don't have the time or I'm too tired. Clau, I think I'm feeling now, what you went through last semester. This is gonna be one busy semester. But you know... I think I like it :)
Below some calligraphy: what it should look like – from my teacher Frank Blokland – and my crummy results of two hours straight work. God I feel unworthy.
