Everyone Deserves a Break. Just not us.

Project One: Check.
Project Two: Next.

These past few weeks have kind of been a blur for many of us in this class.
It seemed as if we just started the new semester after Thanksgiving break.
As winter quarter just started to become our new routines, here we are; dispersed all over the country on Winter(Holiday/Christmas)Break.
Here at good old RIT, we have this lovely thing called the "Quarter System".
(To clarify,this means there are 4, 10 week terms throughout the year. The other type of calendar system is the semester system. There are usually two main semesters a year (fall & spring); each running between 15-17 weeks depending on the school. )
Imagine being a student (much less an art student) only having 10 weeks per class.
That averages just over 3 projects in 3 weeks (with a week for finals, of course).

This publication we're undertaking would take easily, several months to perfect and make "print ready" with any other group.
But us, we're special.
Not like the special your mom ensures you that you are.
I'm talking like the real "you-work-your-ass-off-and-it-creates-an-insane-work-ethic-and-personal-drive" special.
I think many people don't realize (or underestimate) the integrity of work RIT students hold.
Among our peers, more often than not we are very prepared for the industry.
Fast paced, and get it done yesterday mentality is more or less taught in art foundations.
I'm not joking. It's pass/fail.

Don't just flip through these pages and say "cool".
Take your time and look at each one.
For making flawless designs, and immaculate pictures in just a few weeks time is a skill and a gift.
I said I was impressed with this group.
I whole deeply mean it.

Stay tuned. Stay classy.
