Unimaginitive Boy!
I'm finishing a choice project for my Graphics class today. The assignment was really broad, basically create anything printable that you want to with Illustrator and/or Photoshop. Hell, it could even be a webpage, heh. The only requirement is that it can be printed on paper, or any three-dimensional material at all. So I was pretty disappointed that the best I could come up with after many class periods spent staring at a blank Illustrator file was a pie tin (er, pi tin) cover, which I'm going to put on top of an actual tin. I had spent the entire time trying to think of the best project I possibly could, and when I failed to do that, I unfortunately settled for a much simpler idea.

So it's only ironic that the day I finish it and go to get it printed, I think of something I'd much rather do: a vinyl album cover. It's probably much less original than a pie tin, yeah, but I think what appealed to me so much about it was the very large space for and focus on the art facet of it. So I decided that, just for kicks, I'd go ahead and see if I could finish it in a day or two and submit that instead. I only got very, very little done on it, though, so I guess I'll just stick with the pi. :P

It was still an interesting plight, and I might finish it if I can fight my lack of motivation. Not that I should finish it, because that would even further stall the many other uninspired projects I've still got to get done eventually.

I need deadlines. My babies starve without them. =(
