Screen Printing Pieces

Sometimes I forget I have other classes this semester other than Senior Project. I'm also taking photography, art history and .... drum roll please... screen printing.

I love screen printing. My craft is not impeccable, and for a perfectionaist I am - I'm okay with that. I enjoy the fact that each pull is different, that each piece has a little uniqueness to it and that it's all hand done and not mass produced.

I've acquired some more old earrings and turned them into fabulous rings. 

These will be the perfect accessory to any outfit. Please contact me if you would like to purchase one of these lovely ladies before I go around town looking for a consigment buyer

Be You Campaign

 My first Advertising Photography project took cues from the anti-discriminatory ad by imagine’ in Amsterdam. The concept was to show people two different ways: the body style portrays their true personality and the head in the sign portrays the mask they have to put on for the world in order to 'fit in'. The ad calls for you to 'Unmask Yourself' and to 'be you'.

Wonderful learning experience. Can't wait to get back in the studio for my second project

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

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.
