Happy 1st Year Anniversary Bridget & Todd!

Senior Project

The past three and a half years have been leading up to this moment...
This semester I'm in senior project. Students in senior project come up with a business or service and create all the materials that go with it - logo, signage, ads, fliers, posters, website, packaging etc... basically everything you can imagine.

My senior show will debut on Friday, May 14th at 7pm in Applied Arts, Menomonie, WI
(mark your calendars!)

I'll post photos on here once everything is complete, I have my diploma in hand and moved out of Menomonie.

Wish me luck

Screen Printing

Pretty exciting to be in Screen Printing this semester. Here is my first project - I may want to add another layer on top of white.

Freelance : AIGA Show Your Stuff

Gallery : Graphic Exposure

I was obviously very excited yesterday when I found out one of my pieces made it into the Graphic Exposure 2010 Exhibition at Steven's Point.

This is the package my PDF Portfolio comes in when asking for informational interviews. It always seems to go over very well. Custom made envelope out of craft paper, Resume/Coverletter is French Paper Mod Tone Ecru.

I'm in the newspaper!

I could not have been more thrilled when I received the phone call from Jerry, the new communications staff writer at UW-Stout about wanting to write a story about me and my past internship experience with CaringBridge.  So far from my internet searches it's been in 7 digital papers and made it in the printed Dunn County News

The article can be found here, but is also below.

Freelance : Brian

One of the projects I've worked on over break are posters and business cards for Brian Claxton. Brian is a friend of a friend and has been a patron of mine for almost a year now. The other projects I've done for him include Jazz Band posters and Swing Dancing Posters.  Brian is a recent UW-EC grad and has a passion for music and teaching.


I designed two posters: One to be used for high schools and colleges and the other to be used in middle schools.

Best of Luck Brian finding new students. I hope your phone is ringing off the hook!

Photos : Forever Yung

am in love with old photos. Mostly because they tell stories of a life somewhat forgotten. On a recent trip to my Grandma Betty's I brought over my computer and scanner and asked for photos of my gram and grandpa. I scanned a ton of photos here are just my favorites. 

These are photos of my grandma at age 22, the same age I am. Pretty neat

Mara-mi : Production Work

I went down to Pulp Fashion in Stillwater to visit with Jen and Danie a few days ago. It was so good to see them after 8 months. Wow I can't believe it's been that long. With every one's life changes it's like 25 years flew by.

Two summers ago Danie and I helped out the Mara-mi gals finish their January 2009 line and did the mock-up and production work.  We worked on a ton of boxed cards and invitations. One of my favorite projects were these die cut, fold out cards. There was 4 different pattens/artwork from outside artists that we pieced together to create a seamless look.  Let me tell you they were a pain to cut each letter to see how they would look but they turned out wonderful. Jen said they even added some new pattern (the L and R have the polka dots and stripes that were added later).  It was great to see these in the store!

CaringBridge : January Themes

Three new styles I complete over the summer have just been deployed for CaringBridge themes

Packaging : NOON Wine

NOON is a brand which offers two different types of wine: a chardonnay which is labeled "before" and a merlot which is labeled "after". NOON was chosen as the brand name because the word movement works well when the bottle is in use, since NOON appears the same when viewed upside down, rotated, and backwards.

Here is how my wine bottle turned out.
The sandblaster at school is out of sand and since it's so close to the end of semester they are holding off until next year to buy more sand. (bummer, but I'll live
I have every intention to sand blast these bottles like my plan in the previous posts below but until then... vinyl stickers it is.

Who in your life needs a CaringBridge

I was having a rough day today until I received an e-mail from my old pod mate at CaringBridge that absolutely turned my frown upside down! 

Caryn informed me that 9,883 CaringBridge users are currently using the themes I designed this summer.
THAT'S ALMOST 10,000 people!!! 

I miss so many things about CaringBridge - the people, the story behind it, helping families, friends and strangers, the designing, the food :)  I miss working for a place where everyone had a heart and cared.

CaringBridge has been in my life since high school when two classmates had pages. I cannot image going through a difficult health crisis without CaringBridge.

Which brings me to my next point: Who in your life needs a CaringBridge?
If you don't already know, CaringBridge is a website that helps keep loved ones informed during difficult times. In return, family and friends give patients and caregivers support through guestbook messages. It reduces time and emotional energy spent on repeated phone calls and emails and keeps everyone informed with the same, accurate information. www.caringbridge.org
