Yesterday’s InDesign class (specifically focusing on the EPUB medium) was exhausting. It was an assessment session. An assession, if you will. I felt like I was looking at a Fractal artwork, looking deeper, you end up finding more features and so on until you control the atoms of the document. At least, that’s what it…

Today is the first day of the school year at Seattle Central Creative Academy. I wanted to take this moment to give a “shout-out” (type-out?) to my classmates that approached me saying how they kept up with my blog over the summer.

(My website for this class in its current state.) During yesterday’s review session in Web Design Bootcamp, I was recognized for having a website that was more advanced in styling in CSS than the other students. This kind of recognition is unwarranted in my opinion because I am a terrible coder. I don’t have a…

Just now, I had a very lovely exercise in using InDesign. One of my coworkers/supervisors, gave me the task of designing a stationery system for a law firm. After going through two rounds of critique for layout on their envelope, business card and letterhead, they decided to stick with the one they already had. It’s…
