Day on the Job

GOOD AFTERNOON

Recently, I have been given the position as the executive designer for The University of Kansas, International Student Association.

I had my first meeting yesterday going over materials the association is involved with, and designs I need to start working on.  Nothing is overwhelming and I just finished my first poster for the INTERNATIONAL SOCCER TOURNAMENT (at the bottom of post)

The International Soccer Tournament is a free event ISA is hosting on October 13th, 2012 at the Schenk Fields  (field one) from 7am to 11pm. 

If anyone wants to be a part of the tournament they are to email the association and sign up their team! It should be lots of fun!

 

Take a break

Good evening!

So I had a thought in drawing class today...my professor mentioned the word silence today.  I realized I really don't get a lot of that...

There is so much noise that surrounds us, it really does cloud and fog and distract our minds.  I always thought music soothed the mind, but instead it can actually be very distracting.

Behalf of this epiphany, I challenge everyone to silence! Take a break during the day, listen to the silence.  Focus on a subject matter, really get to know it and understand it.

Just a video I thought about when I thought of silence

Design. Design. Design

Hi there!

I wanted to share a few of my works I had did over the summer for clients.  

*Reminder this is only a few I will be posting more!

CHEER FAMILY T-SHIRT

                           

                 





So my sister is a cheerleader in high school and she is assigned a cheer family.  The head cheerleader was in charge of designing a t-shirt for their family.  Of course instead of my sister designing it...it was asked of me to do it.  I decided to go with a basic design but still bold and read well.  On the back was the left design and on the front right side of the shirt each of the girls had their names printed with a megaphone above.  The t-shirts were a medium purple. 
 From what I heard they were happy about the design! DESIGN SUCCESS

YES DAY T-SHIRT

This is another t-shirt design I did over the summer.  The client was my youth group at church and they needed a t-shirt design for "Yes Day."  This is a day the students involved with youth do community service to earn money for the interns that were to raise X amount of dollars for the church.  In return of doing this service the students were rewarded with t-shirts.  I went with a text and organized design that told what event, the logo of the youth group and date when it occurred.  This design was printed on a neon shirt.  From the looks of the printing they looked great!

THE HUNGER GAMES POSTER

EBC Youth, which is my youth group had put me in charge with a lot of their designs over the summer.  This poster was designed to advertise for their lock-in that was themed as "The Hunger Games."  This poster was enjoyable to do since I had just finished reading the hunger games series.  

More to come! Please feel free to comment! I love the feedback.
