oh what a day

For the record I'm better. About 97% back. Eating still feels funky.


What a day.

Capstone, the class where I work with two different culinary students and design them logos, menus, stationary, and corporate id while appeasing the interior design students. I’m working for two different restaurants, a sushi bar and a steak house with Fridays’ flare. The sushi bar is coming along great, the steak house is less than par. The core of my problems sits with the fact that the girl changed the restaurant name on me and gave me clip art to inspire me. I met with my graphic teacher about it today, we discussed that the clip art boot wouldn’t work. In walks miss clipart boot culinary student. Well after about 2 seconds of looking at what I have, she screams, “I hate it! This is not the boot I showed you! Where’s the picture I gave you!?” My response, “I can’t make a logo off of clipart.” Culinary girl gets pissed and storms out. Enter the Interior design teacher. She starts yelling at me, “You should have left the attitude at the door! You can’t do this! YOUR JOB IS TO APPEASE HER! In the real world you’d never survive!” and on…
I’m pissed and tearing up. My graphic teacher told me “whatever you do, stay away from the clip art boot” and here I have an interior teacher yelling at me to use it. Teacher storms off. Miss culinary clipart comes back and starts shouting at me, “whatever. Fine! WHATEVER!” Mind you, this culinary student is around 45 years old. The interior student sits down and tries to draw me a logo and tell me to use it. Don’t tell me to use a crappy logo you just made up if you know nothing about logos. I’m not about to touch your floor plans so stay the hell away from my logo. Eventually my graphic teacher comes back and I relay the story to her. Ok, so I cry and my witnesses have to explain it to her while I try to compose myself. My teacher has to go meet with miss clipart on my behalf and mediates. Joy.

My second class, the internship. We pitched our campaigns to dallas city hall today. There was no yelling involved! Hurray! Imagine that! Grown people not throwing a shit fit for not getting a goddamn logo the way they want! Anyway. We pitched two campaigns each then dispersed for an hour while city hall critiqued them. When we were let back in we picked up our campaigns, read over notes and now we have a week to redo them. I keep telling myself it’s good that they put down so many changes, that means they want to use it, right?

On the positive side, I got GOOD mail today. I got paid, stickers and buttons from the Switchblade Kittens, and an autographed book from Meg Cabot. Yay!
