Either kill or be killed

Hey everyone :)

I was asked to write these entries (yes, there gonna be more, yay!) so here is one of them. I’m sorry but they’re going to be big and wordy 

Actually last week was difficult and this one is even more difficult because of all final projects or presentations.  It was hard to think up work in one week, to realize how it will look and then to embody it on the paper/in the photo/on something else. But we are cool and we will do everything we need )

Honestly, I am not absolutely sure about what the Funk group is doing though I consider that they will have something cool. I was more busy in other group and thought over the works for the book. For a long time I wasn't sure what I will do and how. What I originally wanted to add to the book and what could well be attributed to the category of «sense of place» as a result did not come to the idea of ​​the book. I had to rethink everything again and do this as soon as possible. After all there was not even a week and after rethinking you still need your ideas come to life. Anyway, but less than in 3 days I knew exactly what I want to put in the book. Another day to rest and on the weekends I got to work on my images. For those who suddenly does not know yet or do not remember the idea of ​​the book, I will tell a little bit about it. Since in our group a lot of participants were from different countries ( I would even say that all the participants were from the different countries), we decided to talk about our feelings and thoughts after arriving in San Francisco from our homes and cities, what it is like to be in another city ​​and studying in a new place. Each participant had two pages where they could put their work. So, by Sunday evening I was tired and exhausted, angry as hell (haha), because I couldn’t edit one of my images as I wanted. But I did it! I must say that while I was working in Photoshop my computer started to freeze and by the end he began to perform wild dances and songs saying "I don’t wanna work anymore!" He turned off once and closed a couple of times Photoshop with my unsaved work, but okay, I endured that and, as already said, finished work. Unfortunately, my computer did not spare me and didn't send email with photos. I found out this on the next Monday morning from Esther. Problems are surely like me :) My second email with pictures came too late, just at the time of printing. Thus, the only thing I could do for a book was a cover design...


Well, this is how my first week of the projects went. I decided to post my pics here so Amy and Laura would see what I wanted to put in the book

p.s. Sorry for grammar or any other mistakes :)
