Afishionados,

Grades for this past quarter have been posted. I got straight As and it’s the first time that I’ve ever had a 4.00 GPA. Just about anything is easier than Nuke School, though. And design classes are a helluva lot more fun, too.

Of course, not everything can be an A. My Mozart brochure ended up being an 82 out of 100 (a low B), so the Colonel was very close in his estimation of a C. Nice work, Carnac.

Here’s the review, straight from her majesty’s mouth:

Several design elements have been editited and manipulated with Photoshop. Computers were to be used to write the panel of type and scan imags only. All effects were to be done manually. Copy inside was to be on ONE panel, not four. Nice overall look to piece.

Notice the typos of “editited” and “imags”. Perhaps it is just me, but shouldn’t professional graphic designers be able to correctly spell terminology associated with their line of work? And is the Queen’s eye so highly trained as to be able to determine which digital editing software suite was used on the Mozart piece? Could she really differentiate between Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro? Nay, says I. Methinks her highness hath stumbled upon the Fish, in which case I say to her: You’re a terrible professor and a hormonal bitch. Now go away.

The school is in the process of reaccreditation, so the instructors have been keeping various works to show “them” that the school is, in fact, capable of producing results. I shudder to think which brochures the Queen kept as examples of “A quality work”.
