Last night after my presentation this girl gives hers. She starts by saying that her project is based on her favorite band. I was sitting in the back thinking that judging by her apparent age she was about to regale us all with a design project dedicated with all of her little beating heart to Justin Timberlake of NSYNC, or perhaps Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys. I was ill prepared. The image file was incredibly large (due to attachments I did not yet know about) and the Gateway computer that was being used was running extra slow last night, so there was about 10 seconds of silence before I saw the image on the overhead. Her favorite band was Cinderella. She had designed them a tour poster for their upcoming summer tour. It got better very quickly, she had attached a copy of Cinderella's Long Cold Winter to the image and was playing it for us. She then began attempting to open an animated Cinderella tour promotion that she had created. Once again the computer was unable to accomodate a file of this size (fortunately I got see it later when she was able to open the file on the computer at her desk). Have you ever stood around with a group of predominantly African American, middle-aged people and watched a Cinderella tribute? I now have. So here we are deciding to temporarily forgo the animated video, by discussing the tour poster she had designed. It was actually really good---although highly amusing due to the level of strangeness of the whole thing. It was typical hair-band design. A picture of the band with a rattlesnake imposed on top, accompanied by some text saying 'Tour 2002' and of course the Cinderella logo. For her last presentation she had made a posterboard printout (complete with glitter) for us to look at, regretfully there wasn't one this time. The subjects combined last time where Camden yards and a picture of some stars. I think that I am going to wear my Cinderella 1988 tour t-shirt next time and try and pick her up. Community college, worth the price of admission if only for the amusement.
