An update from Mexico

Just a quick update while I have internet:

Things have been going really well. Finding resources all over the place, started by my first advisor. She had a lot of great suggestions, and it will kind of change the direction of my posters a bit, but I like where we're going. She had a ton of resources available; let me take pictures of the books she had, then let me and Erick go to her house to see her personal library where I took even more pictures. She gave me a book (!!) on Posada's stuff, I bought a book on post-revolutionary Mexican imagery/posters that is SUPER interesting even if it might be more modern than I want, and then she arranged for me to get this really awesome book that is illustrations in Mexico 1920-1950 that will be awesome as well.

SUPER thrilled to have all this new info, but I'm going to really have to get going on my posters in order to have them mostly finished by April 5th, my 11th week review. I hope they don't mind that I don't have the other stuff done (30 second spot, packaging, process book) but there should be time for that afterwards.

Due to personal interferences, I wasn't able to meet up with my second advisor, the designer of the Lagarto font, but hopefully I'll be able to skype him before 11th week reviews so that I can get his opinion before I get the final word for the review.

I'm 98% sure that Dr. Marina will be able to skype, but I'm not entirely sure about Gabriel, since I wasn't to meet up with him and he seems suuuuuper busy with his design business. But I guess if I have one advisor, then I won't fail. I also am supposed to ask Heather in the library to be another advisor.

Also, Natalia, if you read this, I haven't been able to update my blog daily because I'm in Mexico and haven't had internet! I promise I'll make up for it when I get back! So many new things to add to my DP...

HAPPY!!!
