decisive moment

I've been so busy I haven't written. My presentation of self is going well. I asked one of my friends who's a graphic designer up at Maine College of Art if she could help me with a logo, and she sent me a link for some inspiration. I'm not clever enough to come up with such a cool logo like they had. She also suggested to have an exclamation point in my logo, I guess because I'm so exciting. When I was really young I always thought my mom's signature was so awesome because she wrote it so fast, so I tried imitating her, but mine ended up just being a circle and squiggle. It didn't relate to my name in anyway. Around that same time I also made the letter N but it was more slanted and there was a dot over the last side of the N to make it an N+i in one. I went back to that idea for my logo, and I used an exclamation point like my friend suggested, except its upside down. Which I also figured was fitting since I'm mexican, they use upside down exclamation points.


Anyways, that's that. For my social documentary class we have to write an artist report, and do a 10 minute presentation to the class. I'm looking forward to it now, after we did out presentations in PCP. Everyone's working on making powerpoints for their presentation, but I'm going to get a display board, like the ones we used to use in grade school for science projects. I'm really excited, because that's going to make my presentation different than all my classmates who will be showing slides on the projector. And even though this time it's only 10 minutes compared to half a class period, and my topic is about Henri Cartier-Bresson and not outlines, I'm really excited and confident that I won't suck as much as my PCP presentation. I'm looking forward to decorating it, and learning about Cartier-Bresson. I really like his work, but haven't really learned too much about him.








And about that spoon ghost, I still haven't found a rubber band, but I'll photograph it tomorrow and just use my hair tie if anything.
