Luv, one thing I have NOT noticed about anyone here is mild-mannered-ness.  Mild-mannericity? anyway...

     Well... It's just "by day."  I have to keep up the façade in school, ya know!  Unless, of course, my students come in without their homework.  Then the mild-mannered professor turns into art-director-with-a-vengeance.

     Although... last year, I taught a class called "Movie Graphic and Prop Design," and some of the students did get to see a bit of my underlying insanity when I brought in things like custom lightsabers and hand-carved vampire stakes and the like.  But most of them were just as bad as I am, so it wasn't too much of a stretch for them.

     Oh, and the H'ween pic was actually taken at this crazy party I was at. The background was just a plain wall-- a bit dull, and so it suffered the wrath of Photoshop.

     Unfortunately not.  We're actually in the process of trying to develop a Masters program for design-- it'll be the first in the state, if I'm not mistaken (everyone has fine art, but no design)-- and haven't devoted much (or any) time to online courses for the existing program yet.   :-\

Hmm... What a pity. The only "Graphic Design" class here...is a complete joke. I want to learn CGI and all that good stuff, not how to make ads, logos and that kind of stuff... There is almost nothing here that fit into my interests, style or skill. The two art classes I've had so far, I've Aced with flying colors...though I guess it helps if I've been drawing, etc since I was a kid...

This is the kind of stuff I do with Poser6 and Photoshop:

This school seems to just be a General Ed college where students transfer from...which bites.

Next up... LS/ST in CG... HAHA yeah right...

Shaak Ti, those are really awesome! You've got real talent! I don't foresee you being a "poor college student" for very long.

And Cristar, another Jersey boy, eh? What high school did you graduate from?

Just finished mine...now I apply for grad school.
Still debating between an MSW or a PhD in Clinical Psychology...
...since I've already finished my dissertation, and I'm currently doing an APA certified internship, we're looking at 2 years for either program...
...just a matter of what I get into. My GRE scores weren't the greatest and I'm too lazy to take it again.

     Shaak, the term "graphic design" is so general and broad nowadays that it covers so much.  Finding a program that suits your needs (or talents) is sometimes a bit tough.  Our program, for example, is actually under the "Visual Communications" banner, and is broken up into separate graphic design, advertising, interior design, and industrial design curriculums.  And depending on your focus, making ads and logos is just as important (and ultimately more lucrative, probably) as rendering Twi'leks in 3D!  ;)  But there are schools that focus on things just like what you're looking to do, however.  I'm sure if you do a little searching, you'll find what you're looking for, if even as a supplement to the bachelors degree you're already pursuing...

     And Jasher, well... that's sort of a weird question (or actually, a weird answer).  I graduated from Woodbridge High School, but I spent the majority of my h.s. career at Academic H.S. in Jersey City (now McNair-Academic).  Two months before graduation, they found out that I lived out of district (lived in Jersey City, but moved during high school and didn't want to transfer if I didn't have to), and they pretty much kicked me out!  I was editor of the newspaper, a senior class officer, head of the school improvement committee... but it made no difference, and they gave me the boot!  So I had to spend the last two months of senior year in a completely different school.

     So what about you?  Where'd you spend your high school years?

Don't put yourself down for a min.You look good  holding a saber yourself!! ;D

I tried to tell her the same thing Ben... ::) But when the girl stomps her feet and hides in the women's locker room at he dojo, sometimes you just have to make concessions so you can get back to the training!

Like I said before Je-Rel....it's your saber, you be in the picture! :D

So what about you?  Where'd you spend your high school years?

Middlesex High. A small podunk town squished between Bound Brook and Dunellen. 15 minutes from Rutgers (the end of River Road), more affectionately known as Exit 8 off of 287.  ;)

Hey! Foot stomping is probably what I'm best at!  (that and hiding...)  anyway, it was pure vanity.  I was sweaty, my hair was sticking up all over the place, and well, it just wouldn't have been right - would've given the kids nightmares.  (that remind anyone else of a scene out of Firefly?)  If anyone asks to see a Liberator in Fire Orange - the only saber of mine I haven't taken pics of, I'll consider it.

Jasher, ANOTHER Jersey-ite?  My my, we're infesting the place!   :D
