Day 7
Mo photo on our seventh day of class. Dylan was a great instructor and was able to answer everyone’s technical and non-technical questions and do so without everyone getting lost or falling asleep.
Everyone showed their one day photo narrative assignment today, and there were some sets that really impressed me. I was generally unhappy with the work I put together. As usual I began by overthinking the project. In the end I took pictures of the dinner Gretchen was putting together.
Spent the afternoon working in Illustrator. Fun with the pen tool and bezier curves.
Some lessons from the day:
- One day assignments are just that, and you really need to maintain perspective about how much should be accomplished in an evening – especially with no advance warning of what you will be doing.
- Poor planning is one thing, tight deadlines are another. Learn the difference.
