"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 indivi
dual 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!

Oh and if you wanna hear The world spins madly on with The weepies, click on the headline for this post!
