ART 121-01 Week #4 (The day I missed class. ;_;)

Ugh, today was not so good. Stupid truck..

Anyway, I figure even though I didn't make class today, I could still work on my presentation. Those are coming up around the corner and I want to do well.. but I have until Oct 15th so.. ehhh..  Anyway, I'll talk a bit about that.     We have to find a place we would like to work, then do a bunch of digging to see if this is, in fact, the place you want to work. I believe I eluded to it in an earlier entry- but anyway. I tried not to go for the obvious ones because I was afraid others would have picked Pixar and Disney and Dreamworks, so instead it was a tie between Hi-Fructose magazine and Frederator Studios. Hi-Fructose is a unique art magazine that shows a bunch of modern bizarre stuff, and they have a cool blog on this very site. Frederator studios is a network where cartoon gems such as the Fairly Odd Parents and Adventure Time have been made. (They also have a sub studio called Cartoon Hangover where their more adult oriented Bravest Warriors, Bee and Puppycat, and Doctor Lollipop reside.) In the end, I chose Frederator Studios. Mostly because while Hi Fructose is a cool magazine, I feel like I wouldn't have much to contribute that requires my drawing skills.. they usually do segments about artists, not people working in their magazine who are also artists.

So, while doing online research is gonna be my main thing, I will at one point be required to schedule a phone call or write an e-mail to this place to ask them questions. I dont know if they have a customer service or public question-answering department or whatever, but I am sort of nervous at the prospect of calling a company to bother them for a school project. Maybe they will be cool with it, maybe not.. I dunno. I'm sure it will be fine. Besides, I have to.

Maybe I will use google docs for the presentation?
