What I've been up to Recently
« on: November 13, 2008, 06:52:23 PM »
For the past year, I've been work with school administration officials to create a new public image for the school district. This includes letter head, outdoor traffic signs, posters, and much more. Below is just a sampling of my work. I'll post more later on. I'm responsible for creating, printing and delivering all the materials. In return, I am receiving all my necessary community service hour needed for graduation (a requirement). The plan is that after school is out for the summer, they will hire me full time (8 hour day M-F) to do work for them graphic-related, until I move to college. Pretty neat IMO.

(Thumbnails are clickable)

- 20 poster-size signs displayed throughout the high school

- Lock Policy signs (25) displayed around the high school

- 5 foot sign for one teacher's overused phrase

- 5 long banners for teacher's night

- 3 aluminum signs for outside the high school's back entrance

- 25 aluminum signs for around the high school, both inside and out

- 3 very large separate signs for inside the main office

- another version of the above signs for the guidance office

- certificate for Rookie of the Year

- 100 gift certificates; prizes differed

- 6 large anti-bully pledge posters for signatures

- 30"x30" aluminum sign for outside the athletic fields entrance

- 1 static window cling for outside a high school door

- this project not for the school district, bur rather for local emergency management coordinators. I did 10 of these at 25" big.

Very nice!

- 5 foot sign for one teacher's overused phrase

This one hurt my eyes. Why is it all one word?

It's a phrase (pronounced "Quit-yer-belly-aching") a popular teacher says regularly. Believe me, it's a lot easier to read on the 5 foot sign. :biggrin:

Wait, so does this mean that when the school puts locks on your lockers at school, you have to deposit $5? wtf.

The new policy means that if you want a lock on your locker, you MUST use a SCHOOL-ISSUED lock, not a personal one. To obtain a school lock, you have to deposit $5, all of which will be given back when you return the lock to the office. The reason they are requiring you to use a school lock is so if they school cut off your lock (lost key, searching of locker, etc), they won't have to pay for it.

my school used combination locks, in which they can change the combination with a key, and they have it on file of who's lock it is, etc... if they need to get in, they just use the key, and pop! off comes the lock.

All of the schools I have been to that use lockers have locks built into them (at least the hall lockers, not sure about the gym ones). There is a key slot in all of the lockers in case someone forgets their combination or if their locker is jammed. My current school's lockers are big too... I can put my backpack and coat in there and still have plenty of room to put all of my books in there. I don't use mine much, since I carry my bag with me all day (my school is WAY too big to make stops to the locker every period).

I never used my locker at all when I was in high school. I too found that getting to my locker from certain points in the school was just too much of a hassle because of how long it would take to get there. I simply carried my backpack and coat with me all day. Fortunately I had NO books to carry around, because there was only one set of books for each class, which meant we didn't get our own copy. The only exception, actually, was algebra. We did get our own algebra book. But that's it.

I havent even walked passed my locker in weeks... I don't have a lot of stuff.

My gym locker is the worst though. It's small and the lock sucks.

there were guys in my gym classes who would *NEVER* wash their clothes in the entire 185 school days. All they would use is some clothes fabric freshener. That is very disgusting, and I'm surprise the guys didn't catch any diseases or anything. ugh  :sick: :sick: :sick:

I've yet to wash mine. :P I don't want it to shrink, cause then I'd have to buy another one. They're like $30.
