Wacom Bamboo

Every time I go to my graphic design class, I sit next to this girl who plugs in some kind device that lets her draw pictures and I can see her drawing on the computer. At first i though it was her ipad, but it wasn't. It was a basically like a digital sketch pad and i though IT LOOKED SO COOL! I've been meaning to ask her what was the exact name for the device, but kept forgetting for some reason. Then when I went to go buy a donut from some film artists' bake sale, they ask what was my major. I said graphic design major and they asked me if I used a "wacom" before. At first I was confused because I've never heard of it. But then, they explained to me that it was digital drawing sketchpad that will make your drawings look so cool. It's called the "Wacom Bamboo CREATE tablet". I did lots of research on it and it looks so cool because it contains cool features like digital painting, photo editing, illustrating, and sketching. having this device would make designing more fun and easier for me. Here's what it looks like:


It looks like an ipad but this made specially for making digital drawings.  Hopefully someone will buy this for me for my birthday in two months. I'll be soooooo happy if someone does lol. Well, that's it for now. Got to get back on studying and designing my posters. This is me saying "Peace out"! LOL.

Update on Milton Glaser Layout and Logo Design

Two weeks ago, my class did a critique on our magazine layouts and I had to do so man changes toward my layout because there were a few thing that i had to improve on: providing less hyphens, having better quality pictures, making the paragraphs less cramped, and other stuff. Here is what my redo layout looks like now:
For this assignment, I got a B-. My professor said that I can redo the layout and turn it in at the end of the semester if I wanted so I'm going to try my best to make time to redo my layout. Moving on, my next project contain two parts: creating a logo for my imaginary restaurant and an advertising poster.My restaurant is called "Looney Spoons!". Sounds familiar? It's an animation theme family restaurant where families can enjoy seeing the old cartoons and the new cartoons. I had to make 10 different looks in order to decide which logo I want to do. My decision came down to this: 

I'll show you my poster for the restaurant later because I'm not quite done with it yet. As of now I am currently making decisions on what to put in my poster. On top of that, I have to create a movie billing for my next project (writing that you find in most movie covers that list the actors, producers, etc) for the next class session. Also gonna bring snacks for next class because we're going to be watching a movie relating to our movie poster assignment. Now I can't wait for Tuesday and hopefully will gain more ideas for my current posters by then >_<
