Leave-Behinds... [there has got to be a better name for this]
so my bright idea was to do a flip book for my post-parting present... maybe with the animation I do of my logo for Paige or the video project.
I found this site:
Flippies
but the minimum batch is 2,500 at 2.75 a piece which equals a coronary inducing $6,875
So now I'm going to try the home-hobbiest edition, which are more in my price range
Flipclips
UNRELATED
while I was looking at flip books I found this guy
Pagegangster
Who will turn your PDF into a flash book for 199 USD....Schäm dich!... why aren't we in on this? Isn't this a feature that the newest version of flash does for you? I don't know much about Flash.. but I know this seems wrong. This could be how the juniors raise money for their senior trip... robbing the less informed.

Square Pegs into Round Holes
So with everyone.... well not everyone.. there are certain projects that no matter how much you rework them they are always disappointing. For me it's that infernal DVD package and the magazine. The sad part is both of them are the projects that I wanted to be the best for me. A total redesign is impossible on both with our time restrictions... so I'll go with the magazine total revamp. Here's the last ditch effort for Haute though.
It's a six panel piece with the first and last panels having small booklets (at max 10 pages each). The panels fold into each other so that all the dark pieces are on the inside and the outside is all white with the logo in black on the front and back. The DVDs slip into a pocked behind the pictures and the pattern on the DVD matches the pattern on the top half of that section.
We'll see if it's going anywhere that is close to acceptable... to be continued...

I'm having an anxiety attack
Maybe I'm the only one who is even thinking about this right now, but all these things that we make and this portfolio that we are putting together are inevitably going to need to go into something that can be transported... which leads me to the question:
What do professionals carry into interviews?
Honestly, my suitcase is going to look pretty silly (and it's darn heavy). I can't imagine hoisting that around the city.
If you go on a plane do you check it or do you try to sneak it past the stewards and jam it into the overhead compartment. What will happen to your package design when the lady who is trying to sneak four unchecked bags onto the flight crams three of her bags into the overhead because the stewardess is coming close to her and she figures if she just gets them out of sight the flight attendant won't charge her the $45 she should pay for the domestic flight?
Or do you risk the postal service (sorry Brian).
If you're going to be interviewing in a walking based city do you get a portfolio that has wheels... But then you look like one of those small children who's teachers give them so much homework that the doctors have advised their parents not to let them actually carry their BACKpacks on their backs.
How many bags should you be bringing in anyways? .. portfolio case... laptop bag (just in case you have to show a motion piece) .. purse..
If not the purse then where do you put the your girly junk that somehow seems necessary for the travel to the location? Do you find a way to fit the laptop in the portfolio case?
Again, it's the suitcase problem.. you don't want to seem like you're moving in with them.
Then the business card!
Do you get a business card holder so that you don't mess up your $500 print job in your wallet... but what does your business card holder say about you when you pull it out?
Would I be narcissistic enough to brand even my business card holder? Isn't there a point at which you're trying too hard.
Or do you get one of those American Psycho "I'm really into being professional" pissing contest gold plated cases?
Would you go all 15 year old Hot Topic cigarette case and just wear your JNCOs into the interview?
I'm utterly ridiculous... and I'm having a neck spasm...

Title Sequences
I think some people are doing title sequences for their personal voice projects (either for Stan or Paige). I put two links on my "Outside Links" section that are supposed to be completely devoted to title sequences.
From them I learned that
Shadowplay Studio in L.A. did both the Juno and Thank You For Smoking title sequences.
