Thursday Night

im at uni i skipped two days of uni this week and it was such a struggle to get up with only 3hrs of sleep. i stayed up til 5am working on this return brief presentation for Publication Design. I am going to design a 50 page magazine on the content of 'Clubbing With James Tran' . http://jamestran.net/ Check out the site. It is basically some guy from Sydney reviewing clubs and providing us with his personal opinions and experiences at these places. This assignment is massive, so much work invovled. I have to edit the text, generate my own images, decide on the typography, layout, paper stock, finishing, bounding and consider marketing issues such as:

• key performance indicators for measurements of success
• where and when this publication can be sold
• production and costs
• competitors and differentiation

its actually not as much more than usual but 50 PAGES??! 5,000 WORDS OF TEXT???? this assignment is worth 70%???? crazy. i need to stop complaining and start doing

but i am starving, saving up for a holiday is physcially painful. ironic. i went to savers yesterday, bought a couple of cream knitted long sleeve tops. one by Zimmerman and one long enough to act as a dress - exactly what i wanted. all for a total of $9 (they wanted to charge me 10cents for a plastic bag but i knew better). after that i went to highpoint, it was a good time to go beacuse they were holding a marketing scheme where most stores were on 20% off store wide. that is nothing, 20% off but when the item is already a bargain then SWEET!

as you ay have noticed, i am on a mission for cheap, light but warm clothing. it is more difficult than expected because all the spring gear is coming in, it was almost like there was no winter sale. i bought these cute grey mittens for $5 from Groove and this navy crop woolen RAAF jacket from Mitchel's Camping store. that jacket as indeed a bargain. its good quality, something the other stores would sell for $100+ but i got it for $14.99 - 20% = $11.95 i was happy to pay $15.
