Virginia Woolf
1
Whatever hour you woke there was a door shutting.
From room to room they went, hand in hand, lifting here, opening there, making sure --a ghostly couple.
“Here we left it,” she said. And he added, “Oh, but here too!” “It’s upstairs,” she murmured. “And in the garden,” he whispered. “Quietly,” they said, “or we shall wake them.”But it wasn’t that you woke us. Oh, no. “They’re looking for it; they’re drawing the curtain,” one might say, and so read on a page or two. “Now they’ve found it,” one would be certain, stopping the pencil on the margin. And then, tired of reading, one might rise and see for oneself, the house all empty, the doors standing open, only the wood pigeons bubbling with content and the hum of the threshing machine sounding from the farm.
“What did I come in here for? What did I want to find?” My hands were empty. “Perhaps it’s upstairs then?” The apples were in the loft. And so down again, the garden still as ever, only the book had slipped into the grass. But they had found it in the drawing room. Not that one could ever see them. The window panes reflected apples, reflected roses; all the leaves were green in the glass. If they moved in the drawing room, the apple only turned its yellow side. Yet, the moment after, if the door was opened, spread about the floor, hung upon the walls, pendant from the ceiling --what? My hands were empty. The shadow of a thrush crossed the carpet; from the deepest wells of silence the wood pigeon drew its bubble of sound. “Safe, safe, safe,” the pulse of the house beat softly. “The treasure buried; the room..” the pulse stopped short. Oh, was that the buried treasure? A moment later the light had faded. Out in the garden then? But the trees spun darkness for a wandering beam of sun. So fine, so rare, coolly sunk beneath the surface A Haunted House
Virginia Woolf Virginia Woolf 2
GREEN
The pointed fingers of glass hang downwards. The
light slides down the glass, and drops a pool of green. All day long the ten fingers of the luster drop green upon the marble. The feathers of parakeets-- their harsh cries --sharp blades of palm trees --green, too; green needles glittering in the sun. But the hard
glass drips on to the marble; the pools hover above the dessert sand; the camels lurch through them; the pools settle on the marble; rushes edge them; weeds clog them; here and there a white blossom; the frog flops over; at night the stars are set there unbroken. Evening comes, and the shadow sweeps the green
over the mantelpiece; the ruffled surface of ocean. No ships come; the aimless waves sway beneath the
empty sky. It’s night; the needles drip blots of blue. The green’s out.
BLUE
The snub -nosed monster rises to the surface and spouts through his blunt nostrils two columns of water, which, fiery -white in the centre, spray off into a fringe of blue beads. Strokes of blue line the black tarpaulin of his hide. Slushing the water through mouth and nostrils he sings, heavy with water, and the blue closes over him dowsing the polished pebbles of his eyes. Thrown upon the beach he lies, blunt, obtuse, shedding dry blue scales. Their metallic blue stains the rusty iron on the beach. Blue are the ribs of the wrecked rowing boat. A wave rolls beneath the blue bells. But the cathedral’s different, cold, incense laden, faint blue with the veils of madonnas.

San Francisco State University DAI-325 // Redux Poster Illustration, Illustrator // 2016 As the day draws closer, everything around me seems too overwhelming. My tension begins when I’m fixated on this occasion that’s been always compelling. Waiting around as time gets more intense and upsetting. My breathing gets stronger, each breath’s harder to grasp the air. I haven’t felt this strong anxiety, as the day draws closer, I take each step in care. I know that this feeling is all in my head, most can’t even bear. Impolite to keep this day from anymore anticipation but it’s not any better to rush towards to it. People get afraid when the day is beyond and unseen, till the day comes, I’ll remain keen. The hope I was so familiar before, I’m willing to take my chances on it. date

LIBRARY WAYFINDING SYSTEM
PROBLEM
The signage in the SFSU library and cam-
puss was lacking in volume and design
and can be a little bland, merging too much
with everything around it and hurting its
visibility, this makes students feel confused
and lost, especially the new ones. The aim
of this assignment is to design new signage
that covers the weak spots on the current one.
PROCESS
The process for this project started by
researching about signages around the
city and the internet. After the various
interviews and brain-storming from our
data we collected. There were specific
areas in the library that needed more
directions and how the signages were
unclear. Making our decision clearer.
SOLUTION
Our solution had many trials and errors from
countless designs and concepts from each
member of our group. Finally, the signage we
decided upon was dynamic, youthful, simple,
and vivid. Our final concept signage reflect
the spirit and the colors of the university that
not only raise the visibility of the signage but
it was also appropriate to our campus and
students new and continuing.
