Tutorials


I honestly don't understand the meaning of tutorials in school. I thought we were paying the teachers/instructors/professors to teach us not now to directions from a text? I personally am one of those people who don't learn anything from a tutorial. I learn by someone teaching me, showing me a couple of times how to do it, explaining it and myself practicing. Tutorials to me are just instructions in a book as if you were assembling something, you don't quite know how to do it nor understand the instructions you just follow them. And as for me, I don't comprehend things well, I have to be shown a few times some more than others then I have to practice more than once. I can't just read something and pick up on it; my mind unfortunately doesn't work that way. I just wish they would leave tutorials for guides of self teaching/studying and leave the classroom teaching/instruction to the teachers!

Recreation of a Movie Poster

 I have to recreate a movie poster. This should be interesting. I have to recreate the poster with my own uniqueness, from the font, text, title, background, people, etc. I've never considered the difficulties until now. I have decided to recreate Final Destination 3, which is going to be allot of fun on my part. I have researched the pictures and seen the DVD covers so I have an idea at least a thought process going. However I want this poster to be one of the best projects I've done thus far and possibly become one of my most proudest in the future. I find this poster may be a test of my skills that I've learned so far, to see how much I've learned, how much I've obtained, and maybe to see if I can stand on my own? perhaps? I don't know yet, but we are about to find out.
