Back to Reality

I never understand why Spring Break goes by so quickly. As much as I try to savor the moments it seems the Monday of school rolls around even when I pray that it won't. Once again, I am the WORST at taking pictures, I rarely even have my camera with me! BUT on my spring break adventure with my best friend, I managed to capture a few key moments on camera, well with my cell phone at least :)

We went down to Athens, Georgia and Auburn, Alabama to visit some friends from our junior college...thankfully Atlanta was in the middle of the two which is where we spent an entire day being tourists, checking out the Coca-Cola museum, Centennial Park, The Westin (tallest hotel in the Western Hemisphere) and of course eating some delicious Cheesecake Factory! This picture is from our parking spot on the top layer of the parking garage, little did we know on the streets things were a bit rougher than this this view :-/

This is kinda hard to see, but it seems we ALWAYS hit the major cities at rush hour, Atlanta at 5 pm both times and this is Birmingham, AL at 5 pm..we just learned that sitting still was more enjoyable with the windows down, music up and enjoying the nice weather :)

Hello? Spring Break!

It seems that as it gets closer to Spring Break the days keep getting longer! And even today, being so dreary out...makes me feel like it's not even a good thing to look forward to at all, but I won't let this nasty weather get me down! Because just think..the closer to Spring Break, the closer to summer which means...NO SCHOOL :) The Photoshop Composite project was a stretch, it really jogged my memory, but I think in the end I felt confident in my ability to use the different tools and understand the Principles of Design. I feel like I am going to like Illustrator much better, I am just struggling trying to figure out how it works, it's very different working with vector images, but I like the quality much better.
