Final Shoot

My wonderful model Brooke helped me out by striking some poses for my final project in Portrait Photography. I'm happy with the results :)

Wedding Hotel Brochure

I decided that my guest should have a informational packet letting them know hot spots, phone numbers for taxis, the schedule for the weekend, and contact local restaurants/bars. I created this brochure that is a tri-fold backed with a picture of Matt and I.

K is for Karl

My buddy Karl was kind enough to be a model for my portrait photography assignment. Dont let his tatoos fool you, he wouldn't hurt a fly.

More wedding...

So, in an earlier post I had mentioned a stamp I as having made to use on the front of some boxes that will be available when my guest check in to their hotels. My stamp has arrived with its green ink, and I must say I am very pleased, its a little hard to read in the picture, but I wanted you to be able to see the entire box.

Mustache Sticks contd'

I have been working on my little mustache on a stick, making different styles and such. Now I have moved into glasses, I only have one pair done, but they are coming along so nicely even cash (my dog) wants to rock them.

Mustache on a stick anyone

Matt and I are having a fun photo booth at our wedding reception. For extra added flare I found these cute mustache and glasses made out of felt on stick at etsy.com for about $2 each. Well, I decided to make them instead. Below are my beginnings; my first baby mustache on a stick...I'm such a proud parent :)

Custom Stamp

For the wedding we will be having little boxes full of Nashville treats and other assorted items. The boxes are plan so I have decided to make a custom stamp to place on the front of the box. Below is the vector image for the stamp, 3-5 days until I get it!

For Sam, About Sam

This semester I am enrolled in portrait photography. Our first assignment was to use a single light source. My roommate Sam was nice enough to model for me, here are the results.

Final Project

Transparency for screen exposer

Canvas screen print

Screen print on taupe canvas, not such a fan. Harder to read the details on it.

I was so extremely excited about the leather, and although the color looks good on the leather the print did not turn out well because of the fact that the leather is not totally flat.

You can see above that not all the details came out because of the texture.

When this final project was assigned, my mind was going a million miles a minute. I have been wanting to do an alternative resume to give to interviewers; because I love to design, I feel as though a designer should have a resume that stands out, and my mind wondered about what that could be. I finally decided to to a 11x13 poster sized typography and vector filled resume that would give 7 great reasons to work together. We were assigned to "WOW" our professor so I wanted to take my fine arts element and screen print it onto fabric. Then I decided I would use canvas, and attempt a piece of leather. My target audience is any and all interviewers, as well as other designers. Call to action would be the contact information listed on the poster. When getting a price quote for the project, I talked with the screen print professor (who helped me finalize my poster) said that on average the screen cost about $15 and prints are about $1.25 per, and they only do 24 or 36 in bulk.

Magazine Ad

Half page proof

For this assignment we were required to research magazine ad specs and design one of our own. During my research online I noticed this company called "crumbs cupcakes" I felt that their ad could use some jazzing up so I chose it to re-design. The name of the publication I designed this ad for was "real simple".

My full page ad dimensions are 8.625"x10.875" with a .125" bleed and a .5" margin on all sides. My half page ad's dimensions are 3.375"x9.875" with no bleed and .5" margin. My target audience is essentially all individuals who like to eat sweets, particularly mom's looking for sweets for birthday parties, etc. My call to action was my web address at the base of each ad.
