Creating a story in Indesign

   What can I say other than I'm doing a new project. I'm using Indesing to create a book-like tutorial on how to draw anime. It may sound complicated but its actually pretty easy. Since the program is manufacture by adobe, it share many similar tools as the other programs I've used. The pen tool is still there, the layer tool, the type tool and many many more. It also make is pretty easy to import images that are in Photoshop or Illustrator. There is a new tool that I'm trying to get use to, its called the Master tool. Since Indesign is all about creating multiple pages, you can use the Master tool to make a base structure to every one of your pages so you can add pics or words that will be applied on the same area of all you pages. There are a few flaw to the Master tool for example: it cant add pic box that works individually to every page to add a pic, and it doesn't keep track of the numbering so you have to do it manually, but I use it as a frame for all my pages. I'm looking forward to what I can do with all these programs I've learned so far, but for now i think Ima go to sleep.

end of springbreak

   The time has arrived, and spring break is finally over. Damn.... well I had no regrets, and no accomplishment either. In most of my time I simply stayed home and watched T.V., ate junk food, went to the arcade, and hung out with friends which lead to the same cycle. There were a few times where I worked, but in most cases, it was a loooong and chillax time. In relation to art, I didn't do much other than draw online with some friends and hung out with friends to draw. In both cases, I didn't learn much other than what i knew before. Although hanging out with friends wasn't successful in relation to learning, it has been therapeutic on the matter that i was able to enjoy myself. Now that I'm all refreshed, and I am ready to handle the rest of my class sessions. all I have to say to school is  BRING IT ON....
