pti day 001-qtr1

Today is the first day of attending P.T.I. Immediately I was thrown a care package consisting of a copy of Critical Thinking 9th Edition, Drawing From Observation 2nd Edition, and a fun filled C2F, inc. 20×26 two pocket case with Sennheiser HD202′s.

In the beginning they had asked me to take a placement test (89%) and to submit a portfolio which you can view or download here. By doing so they’ve tested me out of a few classes and made things a big easier being on my own and working.
As for as classes and applications I’ll be learning in Multimedia Technologies on PCs and Macs…

So I created this blog seperately from my website mikemartin1200.com so I can post useful things for other students, randoms, and to not overpower my messy site. I’ll also create a seperate deviantart page for submissions that I can link here or possibly flickr or twitter. Feel free to post comments or crits are always good.
