Street View

Independent Study Illustration

Sadly this is my first art post of the semester. Oh well. I was able to create a mock up street view using Adobe Illustrator CS5's perspective tool. The name of the store is Bakers Treat. I'm not that thrilled with how this turned out. Maybe it's because I've been working with a lot of organic shapes, and textures this semester that this feels to stiff for me.

Check back later for Graphic Design III semester work!

someday

someday i will post my school projects, i will go to bed when my husband does, and i will enjoy the beautiful fall weather. Someday my eyes won't hurt from 15+ hours on a computer, i can play with my puppy guilt free, and have time for friends and my family. Someday...

5 things I'm most excited about this school year...

I was so angry the first couple days of classes. About half way though last week I realized..."hey this is my LAST FULL semester as a college student-suck it up and ENJOY!" I will never be able to work 1/2 days again (unless we have kids, and I stay home, even at that I'd come home and put on the mommy hat). So I embraced it. I'm excited for this semester. Actually for this entire school year.

Because:

1. My senior project-I want to turn it into a real business already!

*these are just color ideas, they will most likely change!*

2. The hubby and I are staring to take Grow classes at church. This is a 2 year in-depth study that covers the ENTIRE Bible. I can't wait to make my brain bigger with biblical knowledge. I've been a Christian for almost 20 years, and I'm ashamed at my lack of "common Bible" knowledge. So I'm changing that.

3. I am loving my LIFEgroup more and more. We will start doing more service projects as a group, and we've added 3 babies in just this year! These people have become like a second family to me, and will be my friends for life.

4. I get to hang out with these guys

5. Lastly, when all is said and done....I will be a college grad! :)

My Senior Project

I finally came to a conclusion about my senior project. For the people reading this, and if you know me at all, this will not come as a surprise. I am planning on creating a bakery/cafe. This will NOT be like Starbucks. It will have coffee and baked goods but it will feel like your walking into someone's house.

There are 3 reasons why people go to a "coffee house."
1. To re connect and or grow in their relationship with their own self
2. To re connect and or grow in their relationship with a friend, loved one, or stranger
3. Lastly to enjoy yummy coffee and the occasional baked good!

I want to create an atmosphere that will enhance the relationships we have, whether it be with ourselves or another person. After all the most important valuable things in life, do not carry a price tag.

My store will be called:

Baker's Treat

Our summer

I realize I've been very bad at keeping up with this. Instead of blabbing on and on about my summer thus far, why don't you look at the photos below to see what we've been up to!
