average day in the life of an OCAD student
On agenda for today:
1. Answer age old question: How do you keep an egg dropped from 8 feet from breaking using only a sheet or two of white card-stock and white glue?
(Yep, I’ve been assigned an egg drop in my Form and Structure class)
2. Figure out what an egg drop has to do with illustration.
(Probably something to do with it being a challenge, and coming up with creative interpretations and solutions and whatever - but I mean, really, isn’t this a 10th grade physics class thing?)
3. ‘Design’ a recipe for an innovative, and original fast food that can be served in 28 single serving portions to every student in my Design Process class and will appeal to 17 year old tastebuds and win Iron-Chef-style food-off.
4. Figure out what designing a fast food has to do with being an illustrator.
5. Ignore the fact that fast food assignment is basically excuse to grade class on throwing a term end party (too bad no one’s of age, otherwise my recipe would involve large quantities of booze).
6. Blow apx. fifty bucks on supplies I’ll never use again.

dude thats totally random… and crappy….but look on the bright side….
you didn’t have to pay $120 for photocopies of assignments you’ve already spent $100 on photocopying previously, and over $50 at $2.50 a sheet for the paper in the first place… like i had to.
man, they should include these costs in our tuition

I was looking into printmaking stuff at OCAD earlier today. I think I might be a professional printmaker, or screenprinter of some sort. Maybe we will go to the same school again.
But I doubt it.

To make T-shirts? That’s what I’m assuming. It’d be a very Travisy thing to do, I think. But you don’t need to go to OCAD to do that - you can take some classes, or aprentice somewhere.
Although I’ve heard printmaking at OCAD is traditionally a pretty solid program, and you’d probably get to skip over al lot the first year crap (since you’d already have a degree).
