These nights I couldn't sleep well. I got nightmares and woke up early in the morning like 4-5am. It was horrible.
I guess it was about the pressure of the exam, but no, it is actually the panels. I have them ready on last Saturday, but I had to wait for my colleague to finish his so that we could send the files to a printshop in China to print together.
The feeling of waiting isn't good. You know, you are ready, and you of course want them to be printed out asap and finish one item on the to-do list.
Another thing that worries me is that company. It is a printshop I have never tried before. I just knew it from my teachers, who printed things there for some tenders and competition submissions. I guess, then, the quality can't be too bad, and after all it costs only 1/6 of the price you need in Hong Kong. If there is anything wrong you can always print them again in another place. The problem is that it is in Shenzhen, China (right north of the border of Hong Kong) and I have never gone there for some time. I have no idea how to get the panels.
Finally it was all done. It took me some time to call several times in order to make them understand what we needed. I realized my Putonghua wasn't really good (I have the tendency to speak in English after a line of Putonghua) and I guess I need some more Mandarin practice. Last night around 1930 me and my friend went across the border and got the panels. It was hard work to carry them back to school. One A0 panel on foam board seems light (it IS light), but 16 of this isn't the same.
I was so relieved when I got them. The quality is unbelievably exceptionally stunning. My panels are filled with different colors, since my project is about visual art. If the colors can't show properly on my panels, I will be done and all ruined. Now I am so happy about the output and I feel so relaxed. I test-printed in a shop close to my university, and the output was aweful. The colors were changed to some strange colors, and the test panel (it has my art Watercolors on it) was like purple. It is just disgusting to see a piece of art was printed out like that, and that man from the shop blamed it on the printer as it used CMYK not RGB. What the hell, shouldn't they handle that?
Anyway it is all done. I am putting all my effort on my models now and hopefully I can finish all of them before Friday afternoon. My final is on Saturday 22nd, and wish me good luck.
