HEY. Here are some pictures about what I’ve been up to, cooped up in my room as I prepare for my senior show.

For the backdrop of my display table, I am going for a Starbucks-appeal (ha) with chalkboard menus. This adds a fun-flirty affect to my table. I made the chalkboards myself using 2x4s, 3 applications of chalkboard paint, spray paint, lots of hours waiting and a lot of fumes inhaled. 

Our kitchen table getting used for something other than shots.

To gauge how much space I need to fill for my table, I got dimensions from Matt (whilst crossing my fingers hoping that they are the correct numbers) and taped off a section of my room. (The hairdryer will not be part of the show)

Okay. Next, I started making foamcore boxes for lightboxes and to carry my collateral. I’m not going to post those pics just yet because I’m thinking of redoing one of them/I need SOME surprises for later.

Once my chalkboards dried, Jimmy helped me figure out how I was going to hang it in the gallery. We’re using velcro strips! Jimmy is a genius, love him to death. Next, I printed out some resource material and started drawing with chalk. Drawing with chalk is hard. It’s hard to control it and also, I have allergies so that’s fun. Anyway, thanks to 96 cent colored chalk and Wal-Mart, the chalkboards are lookin’ colorful and very silly/fun.

I was too lazy to rotate this picture. Here are 2 of 3 chalkboard panels. The last one has just a joke on it. I will save that for later as well.

I am going to leave you with a picture of the viscom calendar, where our professor marked our show ON THE WRONG DATE. Sigh.

Btw, our show is on the FOURTH.
