BUSY AS A BEE!

Sorry no blog posts lately, things have been busy!!

portfolio show.

Portfolio show, portfolio show, here comes the portfolio show!

So we had a meeting about portfolio show on tuesday! Exciting stuff, its crazy to say that the four years at acad have gone so quick. And I will be a graduate in twenty some days!

Basically the portfolio show is like a coming out debutante ball but instead of gowns and stair cases there is professional dress and a coy pond (or a turtle pond). Its the ACAD 2010 class introduction to the design community.

On tuesday we were busy stuffing envelopes with the poster invites. I got a paper cut.

Super rad poster by Alex and Robin, those are real moths by the way and a whole lotta photo shop magic.

Last time i was a graduate I looked like this....

Check this out! ACAD (from two years ago) grad Matt Luckhurst does some illustrating video magic. Really cool.

fonts and portraits.

Progress report. Choosing a font for my own business card... SO HARD! I feel like my name looks like a third graders, I think its the double t and the double l. Its kind of lyrical looking. And even friendly looking. At first I was going so use a sans serif, but I am completely a serif person. But what serif? The search continues!!!

Photo class going well jamie was my lovely model and we were learning about portrait lighting. One is butterfly the other rembrandt. These shots reiterate the common belief that you have to be good looking to go to art school!

Self Promotion Magic.

Hello all,

So I am working on my Self promotion right now. And i have decided to do a girl guide theme. I choose this theme because I have been viewing my time at acad as a set of different hats that solve different problems. So some days i wear my illustration hat other days my lion taming hat and so on. So i decided that it would be appropriate to show those skills in some sort of a merit idea. Hence the girl guide badges theme.

As research i looked up vintage girl guide photos and found some awesome ones.
