End of Finals!!!

May 6, 2010
Today marked the end of classes and finals. Thank goodness that is done. It started early at 8:30 AM with a 2 hour essay about the pro and cons of Italy and my critique on Italian design, how it could be better. That's too early to start an essay so it took my quite a long time. Then we had a really long lecture about Italy and how they get all of their influences for entertainment from America. They even had their very own Elvis Presley. Weird.
After a quick lunch of tomato and mozzarella cheese salad I headed back to school. I tried not to throw up my lunch because it's presentation time. This is my project that I presented. It's already been ripped to pieces so don't worry about offering your critiques or advice. I personally think this is one of the better projects I've done and I'm pretty proud of it. But teachers always have ways that you can improve. And I spoke SLOWLY and I breathed in my presentation!


Milan 2015 World Expo-Retail Boutique
I choose to showcase the state of Texas. Texas has the most land farmed than any other state and Dr Pepper was invented in Waco Texas.
My concept was to follow the Texas Hold 'Em Poker game. I wanted it to be in a very high end saloon. Very low lighting. High end, elegant but edgy.
Everything in this space are recycled products that can be found in the Texas landfills. The walls are made from Portafab, a portable space company that makes portable spaces that can be moved easily.
Open floor plan-floors are dark hardwood floor made from wood pallets. The tables and chairs on display are from recycled drum barrels and recycled street signs. The Jail dressing room is made from recycled metal.
The lighting is from recycled shot glasses and whiskey bottles.
The areas that Is show cased were the front entrance, cash wrap/bar and the retail dressing room/jail area.
After finals we celebrated at the Mexican restaurant and had some much needed Mexican food! Then I passed out at 10 PM.
I have more pictures......stay tuned.
