So um freaking DEBBIE MILLMAN is pretty much awarding me (and a number of my peers) a cash prize OUT OF POCKET because she liked my Restaurant so much?!!?

[yawpyawp]

<useless rant>

Well SO FAR this whole "design during the day, execute at night" thing is working out pretty well. Because I seeeem to be more productive this way? 

She says as she takes a Tumblr break.

ALSO my design partner and I went to help move the Restaurant show from one end of the atrium at school to the other, mostly to earn points with the prof who's in charge of the show. Neither of us have had him yet, but we're required to take his packaging class senior year, and he's really intense, sooo yeah it's good for him to like us. And he was GUSHING about my restaurant! :D He was like "I LOVE YOUR SENSITIVITY TO COLOR IN THIS AND IT'S SUCH A GREAT CONCEPT!" 

This guy also dresses like Blaine Anderson if Blaine were to take a casual Friday. So the same obnoxious bright red or mustard yellow pants (and sometimes even high waters) and LOTS of graphic striped shirts. But no Brooks Brothers. He's also about Darren's height, so I always cackle whenever I see him. But then he actually looks a little like Ryan Murphy, so actually it's pretty scary now that I'm thinking about it.

I'm just sitting here with a 40 and The Office and my porn sketchbook and my fat person pants and Restaurant is over and I got really stupid awards but I was like the only person to get TWO so yeah I guess and the lady who gave me said awards/shout outs was the person who's responsible for the branding for freaking Burger King and Star Wars Episode II and yeah I'm okay with this and yeah also the Kathleens made sangria and I tried some earlier and it was really really awesome like I worried it'd trigger some bad associations with Rome because we had a lot of sangria but no it was just really good so yeah yes good

[yawpyawp]

WELL I WON "BEST USE OF PATTERN" AND "BEST CONCEPT"

WHATEVER THE FUCK THOSE MEAN

BECAUSE THOSE ARE NOT REAL RESTAURANT PROJECT AWARDS

SHE JUST FUCKING DECIDED TO GIVE OUT WHATEVER THE FUCK AWARDS SHE WANTED

THERE WERE 42 RESTAURANTS AND 27 AWARDS

THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE SEVEN AWARDS

FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD PLACE TOP LOGOS

FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD PLACE TOP RESTAURANTS

BEST IN SHOW

AND IT WAS LIKE THE PROM SCENE IN FUCKING MEAN GIRLS ALL UP IN THERE 

I'M WEIRDLY RAGING????

SO my design partner/FAVORITE PERSON IN THE PROGRAM called me like an hour ago to go walk to Tyler with her because she wanted to switch the label on her restaurant, and I went with her and made some quick tweaks to my show so now I am OFFICIALLY COMPLETELY DONE BECAUSE IT'S BEING JUDGED AT 8 TOMORROW MORNING

[yawpyawp]

Doing a TOTAL system reboot! The Restaurant Identity Project went up on show today and I am DONE with that motherfucker. As far as my own project, Bread Heads is concerned, I'm not like "THIS IS THE BEST IDENTITY IN THE SHOW IT'S GOING TO WIN ALL OF THE AWARDS" but it is undeniably a strong identity. The illustrations are entertaining and eye-catching the absolute star of the identity, and they required almost ZERO art direction, other than some VERY minor tweaks. The color palette is excellent and the system is good and works and is very clever. The concept as a whole is very original, if I do say so myself. My craft/hand skills are great, from what I've heard from peers and faculty. 

Just from being familiar with Debbie Millman's work, I know I'm not going to win anything, seeing as how she's our guest judge and is the one handing out the prizes. But I'm ABSOLUTELY getting an A on this. Which is great. Because it's like 60% of my final grade. 

SO NOW I'M WASHING THE FUCK OUT OF MY STUDIO SPACE. 

My walls used to be COVERED with drafts of my spreads/packaging/illustrations/poster and I just took it ALL the fuck down and shoved it all in a storage bin. I'm mopping and scrubbing and organizing and UGGGGH IT'S SOOO NIIIICE

ALSO I THINK I WANT A URL CHANGE I'M STUCK BETWEEN:
