Catch Up!

Well school is in full swing...and I have lots of graphic adventures to share with you!! I have a few projects im going to post today and others  I have to retrieve from the school server. As a side note: always back up your work. I had an issue with my memory stick a couple of weeks ago and i almost had a heart attack. But the good news is Pete, one of my teachers found it!! :) yay!

So first up is a mock website. We had to take a brochure and create a website based on the visual elements. Our interpretation of the brochure turned website, if you will.

Elements designed in illustrator. 

Created in photoshop. 

Second item up for bid is a series of cards, envelopes and wrapping paper, all which conveniently fit into a cute little storage box. Enjoy!

Long Time No See

wow! so i haven't posted in a while. 6 months to be exact. yikes! well just a quick update: I'm back to school and working at a part-time design job that i l.o.v.e. i switched up the blog background and theme...change is good. i'm excited to announce that i'm taking a web design course in school which means that i'm on my way to my very own website/blog. i get to design it, build it and update it. what could be better than that?? maybe ice cream, but thats beside the point. I guess i should just get to the point...I'M BACK!!!!! :D stay tuned.

"Pinterest is a place to catalog the things you love."
