A Lot of Nothing



See the middle one. That's what I looked like today after a #7 from Chic-fil-a.

I'm starting to have blogging issues because my life is a loopty-loop of school work and sleep. Every-so-often I get to go to the Fresh Market for chocolate covered espresso beans and chicken wraps. I recommend the white and milk chocolate covered. The dark chocolate are little bitter when combined with the espresso flavor.

I've recently discovered the black cherry vanilla coke. I like it. I'm not sure it tastes like black cherries or vanilla, but it's good - sweet. I'm still a big fan of the wild cherry Pepsi. It's the cat's scratch.

I didn't used to drink sodas until I came back to school. I gave them up for a long time and I remember the first two weeks. If you want to lose between 5 and 10 lbs. in two weeks then give up sodas. It works, I promise. It's like giving up sugar. But you have to be an addict first, like everything else.

I would like to promise consistent and whole thoughts on my next post, but I have to reserve that sort of brain power for homework. Does anybody know how to construct a box or a bag? How are copywriters supposed know this? I understand designers are learning this in production class, but I need a little tutorial. I'm sure I can figure it out, but if I'm supposed to be managing my time, then that's gonna be a lot of time wasted just trying to figure it out before actually doing it. Oh, brother.

If I were going to construct a box or bag I would try two things:

1. Deconstruct one that you have and see how it was made; or

2. Go to the website of a company that makes boxes or bags and see if they have a downloadable Quark file for design purposes.
(I just found one for custom hoodies and it works amazingly well.)

The picture would be perfect if the bear was scratching himself. Kind of Al Bundy style.

Are you trying to build a snazzy box to sell a product? We got this cool box one time, I think it was from Bannana Republic. Anyway it was like a lesson in origami to unfold it. it was a clothing box but the lid and base were all one piece instead of the traditional two. Wish I still had it. I miss my box.
