so...I've been on summer break for over a month now
and I have yet to do anything with the Honors Contract I need to write up.
uhg
I have no idea what I'm going to do for it.
Because I wasn't able to register for an honors course that would fit into my schedule, the director wants me to write up a contract and turn one of my non-honors courses into something more so I can get honors credit.
I picked my computer graphics course since the syllabus consists of
Quote:
"1. Photoshop (4 weeks)
Self Portrait and Introduction to Tools and Filters due Oct 1
Collage - introduction to layers due Oct 15
2.Illustrator (5 weeks)
Create 6 experimental logos due Oct 22
Create personal logo and stationery due Nov 12
Pen tool due Nov 19
3. Final Project (3-4 weeks)
your choice due Dec 10
Final Portfolio due Dec 10

which is all crap I learned to do 5 years ago...so that's why I wanted to expand upon this course.
but...the Honors contract involves research and presenting my "thesis"/"conclusion" at Honors Conference Day...
Rather than writing a research paper and having one of those science fair project board things as everyone seems to do, I want to create a website, and set up a laptop for people to browse.
but what the hell would I do the project on to tie the project to the Computer Graphics course?
would the graphics be the tie and I just pick "whatever" to research?
Or should I research computer graphics....digital vs. traditional?
the course doesn't involve any art history or background. just learning the tools/ techniques of computer graphics and making stuff.
The computer graphics teacher hasn't been very helpful. She's just like "well, could you use all the projects as the 'research'".
I need help. I'm so unmotivated/uninspired.
I want to do something that I wouldn't mind spending an entire semester on, and then presenting it to my school.
I want to do something interesting.
and I'm having a HARD time coming up with an idea.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
