Here's another project.
The rules were that I had to create a celebrity feature layout using nothing but type.
I wanted to use a fictional character, so I chose Hedwig from Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

Structured Procrastination
If you haven't read this article, I advise you to take a look:
http://www.structuredprocrastination.com
Because I have a 16 page case brief to read and I have to write a summary on those 16 pages, and I have to study for test.
I haven't done anything mentioned above. But look at all the stuff I did do, that I have been putting off:
1. Updated this blog.
2. Finished my Linked In profile.
3. Ran 2 miles.
4. Emailed one of my favorite bloggers, Mick Wall. (Now, if only I could email Bruce Dickinson. Oh well, next paper.)
Damn, I feel good.

To England!!!
I'm thinking about studying British Mass Communication this summer. In London. I haven't applied to Temple's program yet, but man, am I getting some plans.
Steve Fossett, the balloon guy who may or may not (most likely not, but that would be fresh) related to me, swam across the English Channel at one point in his life. Which got me thinking at work today, "Hey, I'm going to London. I should swim across the English Channel, too!"
Okay, so I haven't swam competitively, or...er...at all, since I was 18. Actually, no, I have swam some laps here and there in between shifts. But since I started working at Electronic Ink, I don't lifeguard much anymore. So, in terms of thinking about swimming the English Channel, no, I haven't swam at all since I was 18.
But I'm not leaving for London until July. I could train.
I mean, how cold can 58 degrees Fahrenheit possibly be? And a body of water between England and France couldn't be that dirty. People do it all the time (like Most Likely Not Cousin Steve). And long could it possibly take to swim 37,000 meters?
Hmm...maybe I should just settle for jogging around Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. And fencing at the London Thames Fencing Club.

Publication Design!
It's a class that I'm enjoying a lot this semester. Heck, who knows? I might become a layout designer instead of journalist.
Anyway, check out my first project. I had to design a magazine department (or a feature that appears regularly in the magazine). The rules were I had include the following:
1. The name of the department, "Voices"
2. An image of a celebrity. The prof chose several, and I chose one.'
3. "In honor of Black History Month, celebrities pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr."
4. A small block of text with the celebrity saying something about Martin Luther King, Jr.
