Life is Good

Tech wise at least! I got a new MacBook Pro which replaced my shitty Toshiba and will last me throughout my professional career as a designer and I fixed my camera!!!

Wahooo!

Life gets a hell of a lot better when I have an amazing computer and didn't have to spend dinero on a new camera.

Yesterday was a good day for those reasons and because I got a lot of school work done. Things are getting better!

Now if only I could get a second job :).

Seattle to New York

I love this poster that Caitlin and Dustin got me as a birthday present:

This is a fantastic (as in really great) piece of artwork. It's been hard to hang in my new place because my walls suck for putting stuff up and I've tried everything but no matter - I love it. I'm thinking about getting one for New York. I can't decide between:

I'm definitely leaning towards the orange one because it'd match my Papaya posters. Thoughts?

Typography: Expressive Words

In my typography class I had a project to choose 3 expressive words and communicate their meaning through page composition, kearning and typeface manipulation. I had a lot of fun with this assignment and learned that some words seemed easy to express weren't.

Broken (my favorite and best liked by my professor):

Flawed (the most liked by my class):

I Wish Bandit Could Fetch

If he could, I would ask him - could you please bring me my glass of wine?

Typography Project 1: CD Cover

My first project for my Typography class is to create a CD cover using only black and white and shapes. I choose Sara Bareilles' latest album: Kaleidscope Heart and here is my finished result:

Let me know what you think! I'm personally very pleased with it. The first week of school is off to a good kick start.

It's Getting To Me

I've been through winters - in Seattle it can be a little brutal - but blizzards equal wearing the exact same clothing over and over again.

Same UGGS, same wellies, same pants, same jacket, blah, blah, blah. For someone who loves fashion as much as I do - this sucks b-lls. I guess in Seattle I had a car so it was getting from point a to point b instead of walking so many blocks and the subway and the slush. And everyone keeps saying it's one of the worst winters in 6 years, so that makes me feel a little better, too.

Now I'm watching Sex and the City and they are wearing fabulous clothing and so many dresses -  it makes me want New York to go back to being warm!

I still love it here :). I just miss a variety in clothing choices. I could never be a man.

Awarded!

I started school this last week at the fabulous Parsons aka The New School. When I logged into my account, I got the best news- I was awarded the Dean's Scholarship!

The scholarships can't be applied for instead every student's application is reviewed then awarded. It looks like my stamp was not only Parsons approved but awarded, too.

That was a nice moment.
