Adventures in Motion, pt 2

After freaking out after last weeks class, here's screenshots of assignment 2. Made it to wk 3 of Motion 2, woohoo!
Concept: What happens when bunnies eat bad mushrooms.





Last Remaining Seats

I usually hate it when people blog about their daily activities, but I did something really cool yesterday!

The LA Conservancy opens up the historic downtown theaters once a year to the public for movie screenings. Last night we saw Gentlemen Prefer Blondes at the beautiful Los Angeles Theater, built in 1931.

Happy Accidents

This seems to happen to me a lot. Mostly because I have no idea what I'm doing with design and tend to screw things up, the unexpected result turns out to be better than what I was planning. 
Thanks Etsy, for uploading my banner in reverse, it looks way cooler now!
