It's 5 degrees

..and that's not even including wind chill! Ridiculously cold and I have to leave to go to Columbus tomorrow. Hope my car starts!!!

Until the big move back, I'm vegging out, drinking coffee and reading my favorite blogs!
Delicious coffee made a la me!

Later Edited:
After looking through some blogs I was reading Design Work Life and read an post about William Staehle's Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre!It's amazing! Check it out!

Tsang Kin-Wah

I found a link to Tsang Kin-Wah's, a Chinese Artist, online portfolio through Pitch Design Union and after browsing for a while I found an AMAZING instillation piece called, "I LOVE U"

Click for details.

I think this is one of the best installations I've ever seen and I would've killed to see it in person!

Go Veggie

Just a small little ditty I made for me and some friends to post on our websites, blogs, myspaces, etc.


Feel free to use it, I don't need credit back. I just want to get the word out :)

Nothing Borrowed

This is all some of my original work. I thought I'd post some personal work instead of inspirations. I'd really love to get some critiques! Thank you


How Green Is Your House?:
This series was for my Ad Team class. The assignment was to create a series of ads for a non profit organization. My team chose GreenPeace.

For My series I decided to go with a hand drawn idea of leaves representing the changes you can make in your house for Greener living.



Century Cycles:
This series was for my Ad class. The assignment was to create three ads (i chose to do a cohesive series) based on a randomly assigned demographic. My demographic was Women 55+.

For my series I chose to narrow my demographic to more elderly women. The idea behind my series was creating retro/old fashioned wallpapers (in illustrator) and taking vintage photos from the 40's and 50's of women on bikes to inspire older women to get back into biking.
Prince Edward Island:
This piece was for my Ad Class. The assignment was to create a poster advertising pretty much anything you wanted.

For my poster I created an Ad for Prince Edward Island Canada. I've been really interested in using patterns in illustrator in vector shapes. This poster is quite large. The final poster is 10x25
World Wildlife Fund:
This series was for my Ad class. The assignment was to create a series of ads for a non profit organization without using anything other than type and the logo of the organization. Another catch was to keep a minimum use of color for cheaper printing. I chose one of my favorite organizations, The World Wildlife Fund.

For this series I went for something of a harsh idea. I created intense sentences and presented them in a somewhat toned down composition.

Shannigans

So because of my creative block (aka lack of motivation) a friend from school and I went to a local coffee lounge to sketch some ideas and hang out. So nice to see my friends from school again.
I'm sure you're thinking to yourself. How much did I get done? Tons... yeah... right.
