Time to really get professional

Hey guys! I'm finally getting around to updating my LinkedIn profile so if you're on there, connect with me! Looking at what I've updated with, I have come a long way and that's a good thing. I just hate being asked what I'm interested in. It's such an awkward question. I have tons of interests but I seldom actually sit down and think about them. I just know what they are becuase I like them if that makes sense. Anyone else feel that way? May just be me haha

It's that song you like, but better!

I love the mesh of soul, pop, and Jimmy Fallon. Listen!

It's not right, but it's ok!

Well I didn't get into the graphic design program at GSU but it's ok! I'm going to still pursue design and just study it on my own. I've also turned it into my minor. My Major is now Marketing. It's not a shot in the dark, I've been interested in marketing for a while so this seemed to be good timing to pursue it more. I really want to concentrate in advertising but GSU doesn't allow a concentration for marketing. I'll just study and practice as much advertising as I can on my own. I'm sad I didn't get in the program as it's always a bit disheartening when you don't make something you tried out for but I'm grateful for all the opportunities and doors this will open for me. I'm excited to see where I'm headed now and what more I'm capable of. I hope I have everyone's support as I am moving on!

Beautiful Disney designs

I came across this on Buzzfeed last week and wanted so bad to share it. I have posted one image but you can follow the kink to see the rest. I think it's some beautiful minimal design (my favorite), especially Snow White's, which is at the link. I enjoy Peter's too.

Here's the link: http://www.tqsmagazine.co.uk/10-beautiful-alternative-disney-movie-posters/

And it's done!

I turned my portfolio in today before 5pm and I have to say I'm very excited! It was a lot of work, a lot of stress, and several all nighters but we pulled it off! I hope the best for everyone. If I could go back, I would probably start working on the craftsmanship of it all a bit earlier but I was pleased with how it all came out.

Now, I have posted my work from this semester so it's only fair I post work from last semester as well. A few of them involved mock ups but they were poorly crafted so I don't have 3D objects to show but you can get the idea.

First, Typography pieces:

This includes a logotype, menu layout with logotype, font calendar, and the layout for the guide to good and bad type. The last piece are all the leaflets laid out.

Now, Intro to Graphic Design:

This set include the WRAS radio poster, book cover, and layout for our packaging product. I did peppermint in honor of my late great-grandfather. I hope you like the pieces, feel free to leave any comments!

And last but not least...

My specialty piece! I wanted to originally do an item but I realized the website needed more of my attention. I wanted the website to be more organized and well laid out. Their current one is a bit of a mess. One thing that bothers me about the current website is the lack of list of all the classes they offer. And they offer a bunch! i wanted a separate portal just for all the classes they offer where you can read up on the dance and choose if you want to sign up. The calendar is more organized as the classes are more evenly laid out and I took out all the unnecessary buttons that don't work. The landing page is what draws you in. As a dance studio, I believe the weekly classes should be available on the home page so that's where I put it. the rest of the information moves to the right (once again with the logo) and the thin white bar acts as the guide.

Mailer

I already posted my ads but before that was the mailer. My idea was speed dancing. It's like speed dating but not as sad. You dance to 2 minute songs and rotate partners with each new one. This is where the idea of personality through shies comes in. You can connect with anyone no matter what you perceive them to be. This brings all types of people together and joins them  under one common denominator: Dance!
