A: I feel like i am overall pretty well rounded, but need more work modeling. I feel like i have strong sketching, but with more practice could be stronger. But most importantly i feel like i am not afraid to try something new. I am always game to learn new methods, see new tutorials or find new sources of inspiration. (It's nice to finally have some presented to us in class.) Lastly, i think that layouts and putting together boards are a strong suit. None the less, i still feel like i have a long way to go.

STORYBOARDIN'
Good Design. Whew. This is heavy. Is it heavy? Or is this question so subjective that i can't seem to wrap my head around it? No clue. What is good design to me? Good design is my bodum coffee maker, it's my dad's macbook, my mom's rolling pin. They are things that work better than intended, look good or in some cases stand the test of time. To me, materialism is a nasty nasty word when applied to product design. To me,there is nothing wrong with bringing objects into your everyday life, and letting them seamlessly integrate into our families and rituals, or if not seamlessly, becoming objects or treasures that we love or are proud to posess.

Adrian Tomine and Pops

Okay, so another illustrator i love is my dad. I always have, and not just because of the fact he's the best dad in world, but also because i think he understands perspective and knows how to add a fun twist to any story he's given. Here is the link to his blog. (He also teaches an online course at the Art Academy of San Francisco on perspective and view in illustration.)
