Potato stamping!!



Hello people of the internet!

So for the last 2 days we have been potato stamping! Which was really fun, and
i'm definitely trying it again...
We started by making the whole alphabet which you can see in the picture on the left.
Then we had to think of a quote to stamp on our posters. I chose the quote "Night is for dreaming, day is for achieving", which i made myself. I even carved a moon, a star and small stars for my poster (picture in the middle).
I made a ombre effect on the background to represent the day and night.
To my surprise making potato stamps is actually hard, since you have to make sure everything you carve is reversed!
But it was super fun! And it was nice to get away from the computer.

We have a 5 day break today - wednesday next week. YAY!

"Night is for dreaming, day is for achieving"
Go and make your dreams come true!!

Back to school!

Made by ME in Illustrator


Hello people of the internet!

So we all went back to school today, after a much needed spring break. I think
we all got pretty exhausted  after our magazine project. Speaking about our
magazine project, we are all still anxiously waiting for our grade... Hope we get
our grades soon... 

Today was a pretty chill day, we did some theory about colors, specifically contrasts.
And we also got some seat works about the different types of contrasts ( Contrast of saturation, light and dark, proportion, complements, hue, warm and cool, and simultaneous contrast ). Which was very interesting, to my surprise. I mean, i have always loved 
colors, but never have i ever thought of them in the ways i did today.
Above, you can see a seat work i did today, about the contrasts. 

We also got some pretty cool news. We are all invited to come to the DR1 studios next 
Monday! I don't know that much about it, since i don't watch that much danish tv, but i 
know they are a TV channel and that a lot of people know about them. I am mostly 
excited to see the big cameras. We were told that we are going to see them film
for 1 hour. Which i feel is like a mini dream come true. I have never been in a real filming
studio. I am so excited, I don't think i will be able to take photos there, but i will try and then
post them here.
