Swim Video

I started my internship at Ohio.com this week, and got tossed in the deep end - almost literally. They sent me out with a video camera (I've never shot video before, much less tried to edit..) but I had a lot of fun and wound up enjoying myself once I got over the nervousness. Here's what I came up with. I'll be shooting some more later in the summer so hopefully I can learn a lot from doing this one.

Vacation | Family Photo, Dunes, and Coming Home

I posted the design for those T-shirts on this blog about a month ago. The design got modified before printing, though, because I found out we were going to Nag's Head instead of Duck. So the bird on the shirt is a blue heron.

Vacation | Crabbing

I took a lot of photos when my family went crabbing, and it's funny - even though they were just family snapshots, I edited them down mentally like I would a story.










I started my internship at Ohio.com today, and they handed me a camera to get video tomorrow. Cross your fingers.

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.
