status report

busy and a little overwhelmed
i want to get past this project planning and proposing
and get right into the meat
but, i know that the set up is an important part
not to be skipped over

my book production project is beginning to take shape nicely
it will be the size and shape of a cd booklet
the content will be part song list of all the cd's
i have made for myself while in art school
and part text about school and music
i am working on the images and writing the text

in my design studio class i am working on a
two page spread working with a personal narrative
we started with simple layouts and
are now moving towards the more expressive
slowly
i'm not so good at this
i need to figure out how to aproach it
i feel as though i fumbling in the dark
the simple clean structured layouts i can do
the crazy stuff, i'm not sure how to start...
i'll post the story that i am working with when i finish the final draft

and problem solving, where we will be designing a unique interface
my 3 ideas are: hot yoga, origami and my office
i have taken some images and notes and i need to put together my presentation for monday
the one that i want to do is "my office"
where i will catalog 1,000 items in my office
and use that data to make various kinds of graphs and charts
inspired by edward tufte
this is the project i am most excited about
and tufte is giving a lecture at school on friday
so that should give me some more fuel

KITCHEN UPDATE
josh has been ever so busy ripping out all the cabinets in the kitchen
the new cabinets arrive on tuesday
the plumber will be coming some time next week
we have to prep the floor and the walls and be ready to start installing the new cabinets so that we can then have them come and measure for our countertop which also includes our sink, and then that is supposed to take 2 weeks, so we will be sinkless for awhile.....
