Vacation | DC

My family and I went on vacation literally hours after I packed up my car and headed back from Athens. Our final destination was Nag's Head, NC, but we spent a day in DC to break it up.

Memorial Day Weekend

I went home for the long weekend. It's nice that while things change in my life from year to year, some things remain constants, like the Memorial Day parade too early in the morning. : D

Duck, NC T-shirt

Here's a preliminary design for T-shirts for my family's vacation this summer to Duck, North Carolina.



I think I was pretty influenced by a lot of the graphic work from Campfire Clothing Company. If you like T-shirts (and who doesn't?), you should check them out.

Art 113

My Art class this quarter is a 3D Fundamentals class, and I didn't really understand why it was a requirement for an Infographics major until after this first project. We had to make a page from a pop up book as a "self-portrait" of sorts. So here's mine.



We had to have three "pop up features" - basically different things that would pop out or pull out in different ways. So the first one is that the bubbles themselves pop out from the page.



Then the second feature is the purple bubbles that spin out to create more bubbles and reveal the photos below them. I really like the double one.



The third feature is this little like "viewing bubble" thing.. it wasn't really supposed to pull out, more just be sort of slided back and forth to be able to see different parts of photos (here it's in the out position, so you can only see half of the sheep photo, and the photo of my brother is completely hidden at this point) and be like you had to "really look" to see what exactly was in there.



And I did bubbles on the cardboard back to make it a little fancy : D



Now that the project (and the ... 8 or 9 hours put into rough drafts and the final project) are over, I can see why I have to take this class. It's about planning, and getting behind the construction of designing something. I think I'm really going to like it.

Easter | Family Portraits, remixed.

I am cheese-tastic.

I'm back in Athens and it feels good. It does feel like home. Not just one room or one building, but the entire tidy town spread out underneath my little thin soled shoes, hopping and tripping over bricks, familiar signs and streets, familiar faces.

I have hope for these warmer times.

More Lomo Supersamplers

Here's some more from my little toy camera. I really love the bright pink haze at the bottom of some of them from light bouncing into the lens off the camera.

Pomeroy

There's a little town straight south from Athens on the bank of the Ohio River that I really love; we went on Thursday and I was amazed to see the river so high - a good 30 feet above where I'd seen it last time.
