Response >> Presentations

I was honestly really nervous before the presentation about the 2 seconds of speaking I had to do. But, I was proud of myself at the end. I think I did well and explained my design well. I want to give a big thanks to Jan for pounding content driven design into our minds & forcing us to explain our design in design 1--it allowed me to have purpose in my design and be able to speak about it. To not just stand up there and say, well, I thought it looked pretty.

The presentation for me was also good practice for the interview road ahead. While other companies may be more intense or less understanding of mistakes then Meredith, it gave me a little boost of confidence in my capabilities not only as a designer but to speak with purpose.

Congratulations to everyone on their projects!!!!!!!

You Can't Miss...

I found this great site called Pikaland...check it out. It has tons of fun illustration. The site creator also puts together submitted illustrator work from artists all over and creates pika packages that you can order. Very fun and unique gifts, as well as inspiring ideas!

This Week....

CRITIQUE:

This past week I had a slight of a print design break. I still have a photo essay spread to do for VOX this week, but won't be designing it until tomorrow...so that will be posted soon. I spent a lot of time working on my site and am SOOO close to being done. I am sending off my mini-portfolio today. I spent some time on it, trying to make it fun and let me design personality come through. Finally, I revamped my tecktonik illustration, too. Since I don't have much design to show you, here is some old stuff from Inside Columbia I put on my site..





WHAT'S NEXT:

(I'm making a list...because they help me be less stressed.)

1. WEBSITE
2. Portfolio
3. Designing a graduation invite
4. Finding good shoes for my graduation dress. Yay!
