I got my 2nd History of Graphic Design quiz back yesterday. I got a 20/25 and I didn't revise at all, saved for flipping through my horribly scrawled designers' names on my foolscap pad a few minutes before the lecture last week. Wow. Guess I wasn't spacing out as much as I did during the lectures. I even got all the names right for the identification of works saved for one. O.o I am thinking that common sense sometimes do work. Joseph Schmidt couldn't be doing something in Russian since he's a German. The Times font didn't feel like it was designed by someone called Paul Renner so I picked Stanley Morison. Cherry got 14 and she studied very hard for it. : / The last and 1st quiz was a 27/30; the 2nd highest in the whole lecture group, and I didn't study for that one too. -__- I was kinda embarrassed when Astrid returned my paper and said good work.
I don't really think I got a photographic memory. It would be nice to have one since I'm rather forgetful. Geraldine calls this the curse of Roxas. XDDD
There's another quiz next week. But what we covered since then were rather horrible. Modern movement in America, International Typographic Style and etc. -___- I definitely have to study for this one. So this means I have to finish the typography assignment 5 ASAP and no leaving it to the weekend. : ( ND16 is going to take a long time to finish…
Speaking of which, Astrid wrote Good about my exhibition brief. She thought it was very funny to have a large woman figure with a small product on a advertisement poster ( they did this sort of thing in Art Nouveau ). She wanted me to write more on Berger's ideals, expand a bit more on budget and timeline and find more pictures. O.o Except for the horrible presentation and the impeding examination on 2 Dec, I might actually pass History of Graphic Design with a much more decent grade than Typography I. Even Cherry says Joyce is biased.
I still haven't try to saw the Kingdom Key so that I could stick all the parts together. I still have to remake the rings. -___- Roxas, I'm sorry…
