Photos : Devon 1 Year

 

Look at that drool monster!

I went to Caryn and Brian's house today for a little photo shoot of 1 year old Devon. He is already like his daddy and loves tractors. It's insane how much he has grown since the last time I shot his photos and how interactive he is now. I'll babysit anytime Caryn!

Design : Cigar Labels

Recently I've been trying to schedule time to do "me" projects - just to sit down, turn on some music and design whatever I want to design without thinking about homework, the job hunt or finding a place to live.

My first finished piece are cigar labels for my boyfriend as a celebratory gift for be admitted into the University of Minnesota's Biomedical Engineering Program. (gosh that sounds good!)

May 18, 2010 is the day we'll both be back in Minnesota for good. After over 6 years together, 4 years of those being in a long distance relationship while in undergrad, I cannot be more excited to have him back in Minnesota and close to both of our families.

Invitation : Bridget & Todd

Happy 1st Year Anniversary Bridget & Todd!

 

Here are the invitations I created while I worked at Pulp Fashion for Bridget and Todd. I can't believe that was a year ago!

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

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.

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!
