Heading for a break!

The first semester on Hyper Island is coming to an end. Only one week left. And then sweeet holiday, you'd think... No no!! Hildes little break plans seems to vanish into thin air when Christmas plans and birthdays obviously is THE thing to celebrate this time of year. Well, well! What to do? Perhaps just sit back and watch the short movie that became one of Hildes end results of the individual assignment.



And maybe just face the facts that "This Christmas, you may not get what you whish for".
Enjoy!

Oh sweet Monday

Finished the individual assignment. Worked her ass off the whole weekend. Made 3 posters and a animation of The Grinch. One poster in html. Tired as hell. Went to bed early this morning. She got to school and listend to two lectures. What to think of in terms of the portfolio. How to reach the right target group on the internet. Good lecture, high standard! Liked Björn Jeffery from the company Good Old. Great tempo, relevant and interesting as hell! Got home, dyed a friends hair. Tried to make some sense of her thoughts in her head. Tried to make an attempt to blog.


but gave up...

"The world spins madly on!"

So the week at Hyper Island has gone madly fast. The module about visual communication is harder than expectet. Groups and groups to keep track of, meetings oh meetings. Clients, agencys, all different roles which Hilde and her classmates are taking part of. And oh, and of course another peermarking group, which gives you feedback on all your work you do as an agency. And this group is also an agency which are given feedback from another and so on and so forth!!! Hilde's just getting to understand the system, but still pretty frustrated over a lot of things, just as she should feel evidently. It's the Hyper way to feel!! YEAH! Great for the future, and crazy mad right now. But hey! This is the reality, right?
On top of this an individual asignment, where you choose and historical important graphic designer and copy his way of designing or working with layout. Then you make a advertising poster of one of three movies you choose from: Nightmare before Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas orThe Muppet Christmas Carol. Actually, you have to make four. One poster on which you choose any software to work in, and with the other posters you recreate the same design in three versions by selecting three of the tools of these choses:
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Adobe AfterEffects
Adobe InDesign
HTML
And then only stick to one tool per version. Phuu!! The worst part of it is that Hilde hasn't even started yet! But she thinks to herself: soon! soon! As long as it's finished on Monday (!!!).

And also lectures talking about brands, workshops in how to make the best of storyboard telling and... Make a cd-cover based on the emotion you get after you have smelled a can of fremented herring (sour or yeasted fish you eat!!! swedish dish, terrible, Hilde must say). So after smelling (even from a distance) this fish dish, Hilde felt a nausea so overwhelming that this is what she created. Which pretty much sums up the week! Just too much emotions!
