new blog

I wanted to let you guys now that I have moved my blog to www.megscharm.com I have started to make a lot more posts so check it out!

Thank you everyone, blogger you were great for a beginners blog!

The cause: end of the semester

I haven't been on to post in a long time, life has been so busy trying to get everything done. I have noticed that I like to make lists of what I need to do, what I have been doing or just because. So the list of the day is everything that I am working on as of now.

Typography - last project 4 page brochure with accordion folds, though I have found out that I like the type face univers rather than helvetica, its more interesting.
Color photo- working on fashion already have pictures, need to edit it down to three, make sure they look good, and print, plus upload them to my computer
Casting - still working on the fist project had fail hinges so had to go to plan b with brass tubing soldering, also at the same time working on the last project hoping to get it invested today so I can cast Wednesday and hopefully have that all done.
Work- it was really busy this week/weekend due to a sale so I come home not wanting to do anything but to veg out on the internets, which sets me back even further but yay for hours =)
Working on icons for Gaven- due at the end of the month which is already here, sorry Gaven, if you see this =/
Steam- Tim got my imac bootcamped for me and bought me orange box =3 while I was a work so I can get some game time in, but who knows when that will be.
Litter box- it needs to be cleaned but I have been to lazy and then everything piled all at once on me, I think I might do that tomorrow, it doesn't stink that bad yet.
Fanime-how can I forget?? I should get my commissioned costume soon, I have also ordered cat eye contacts and latex for the arm detail, both have been shipped out =) Only 24 day left!

Here is what I have so far for my type hw, it doesn't look like much, but it was a pain to get everything together, separate it and categorize, or course I do it the hard way, I might change my mind and do it another way. These are the two inside pages of the brosure. There is much more work to do on this =(

Meet Ken

Say hi to Ken.
Say hi Ken.

I was taking pictures today after work for my photo class. The assignment is to take pictures of my neighborhood. Seeing as I live in downtown San Jose there are ton of interesting people and places I had no problem.

I normally don't go around and ask people if I can take their picture. This dude is a little intimidation, I bet underneath he's just a big teddy bear. I haven't really done street photography before (basically what this is, all quite random but thought out at the same time) Actually I'm quite envious of those who can do street photos.

I took photos at the bakery that is connected to our apartment complex, at an art gallery, a motel across the street that's not very safe, Giovanni the sign maker (who might give me an internship), girl at a bus stop, kids on the street and a random asian lady that got mad at me for taking her photo. You can see some of the on my flicker site located on the right ------------------------------------------------------------------------>

Speaking of being out going today, I saw our next door neighbor's door was open, so I knocked and said hello. his studio apartment was very well organized and clean unlike ours where is jammed packed with stuff and is cluttered. I wish that we could get our place like that. Anyways he seemed really nice and warned us that he sometimes practices and sings just in case if it get loud.

yo dude

I haven't seen this in such a long time!!! I believe this is from junior year high school at home coming and we (geeks) had a booth where you threw whip cream pies at the teachers! i think we won a sprite award for it too! Well, anyways this is Mike a cool dude strutting the computer club shirt. This crude design was also done in a visual communications class with the most awesomest teacher, Ms. J! I miss them both =(
I found this photo/file/document digging through my back ups. I wish I had everything else that I had done in that class. At least there are memories =)

Coupons!!

I made some fliers/coupons for my etsy site to hopefully boost my sales. The amazing thing is that I have had 2 sales in the past 2 days. That's amazing! I haven't had any since November. Maybe it helps that I have nothing over $10. Or I'm just that good! *wink wink*
Anyone who sees this is welcome to use the offer codes, but only one at a time.

Color Photo Class
