Big moments...little things

This key opens the door to our very first house! We will be moving into our home in less than a week. I couldn't be more thrilled to start the next chapter of our lives together. Taking photos of "the little things" are my most favorite photos to take. Hence the photo of a key. They mean nothing to others, but mean more to me than one could ever imagine.

Sadie

For Graphic Design IV we have to come up with a fashion line name, logo, website, magazine ad, and 5 different outfits that all tie into the identity of our company. I wanted to call my fashion line "Sadie." I am basing the name off of the Beatles song "Sexy Sadie." This fashion line will be for upper-class, sexy, single, working, women.

I've asked some of my aunts to take a look at my sketches and fabric swatches to make sure I was on the right track. I will post my fashion illustrations as I complete them.

Here is the logo I'm working on.



Does that logo say upper-class, sexy, single, working, women?

Illustration Pieces

Here are some of my Illustration pieces from this semester.

This poster was designed for the play King Lear, by William Shakespeare. The theater department on IPFW's campus asks every spring Illustration IV class to design 3 posters for the 3 plays that will be held the following year at IPFW's William's Theater. We were asked to get into 3 different groups, based on the play we wanted to read then illustrate. This was the first assignment I've done mainly all in Photoshop. I did not win.



This was a poster that I made for my individual project. I desided to illustate 2 different design styles of Tylers cousin's band. They are called. Erin and the Elders. This project was also done mostly in Photoshop. This design style is the trendy grunge. The next and last poster will be a swiss style. I'm really excited about the next one!

Ummm, Type.

There is something so beautiful and intriguing about GOOD typography. I could view different variations of typography for hours at a time. I know that, because I have! So I'll leave you with these 3 simple words and 4 colors.

3 Things

Today while I was looking up inspirational posters and photos for my Illustration class I came across these images. If you're a nerd like me, you'll get them, and you'll laugh :)










Hope these brought a smile to your face!

Just Keep Breathing

I've been VERY busy with school/work/internship (that I don't have yet but I'm still looking!)/house/family/friends and all that other stuff life throws at you. Like Sleeping, eating oh yeah personal hygiene...which takes up entirely way too much of my time, but I'm sure the hubby and peers enjoy that I actually take care of that part of my life.

Due to my crazy schedule and everything I need to accomplish by 9am tomorrow this will be short, simple and sweet.

My FAVORITE sites to go to since I've been facebook free for 2 weeks and 2 days!
