Website re-design

It is time for me to attempt to tackle the web yet again. A fully designed and operational portfolio website is due at the beginning of class this coming friday. I must say however, that I am rather excited for it. I've wanted to have my own website up and running for some time now, so this is as good of an excuse as any to really buckle under and make it happen. I had a website designed at the end of last year, but it really didn't function all that well (if at all in some browsers) and wasn't very polished. I plan on changing that and adding a bit of a fresher look to it. The snap shot at the end of this post is just a bit of a teaser for everyone of my new site. Keep checking back for a link to the finished site in the near future!

Senior Show and Celebration

Just recently finished the Senior Show and Celebration project, now it's just a matter of printing and mounting all of the work for presentations on tuesday this coming week. Thought I would leave a  teaser of the final for all to enjoy, I will post the project as a whole after presentations, so keep checking back!

Busy busy busy

This week seems to have dumped me a whole lot of work all of a sudden. A new round of projects have just been handed out in some of my classes and I'm still working on finishing up some projects that are due soon. Should be interesting. I see a lot of late nights in my near future...

Holy cow that was a day and a half! Artist Gail Anderson visited PCA&D today for a lecture in the morning, then held a workshop for all the junior and senior Graphic Design majors. From the time we got to spend with Gail and her lecture, she seems like an incredible woman and an incredibly talented artist. Simply listening to her lecture was so inspiring and motivating. She has had a long, successful career in the field of graphic design and has so many words of wisdom.

In the afternoon when Gail spent some time with the junior and senior Graphic Design majors, she gave us all the assignment of creating a poster for Pennsylvania College of Art & Design's 30th anniversary. However, we were to create this poster in no more than 3 hours and could only use vector images of old wood type that she provided for us. There were literally hundreds of letters to choose from. Even through all of that, myself and two of my fellow classmates and good friends collaborated and designed, then screen printed a 3 color poster in that 3 hour span. I think it was a very proud moment for all of us. A busy and tiring day, but an extremely rewarding and inspiring one at the end of it all.

First blog post.

Well, I guess I'm officially a blogger now. This is my blog. Read it, like it. Look for more cool posts soon!
