National Coffee Day Fliers

It's almost time for National Coffee Day Y'all! Today I had the pleasure of wrapping up some fliers for Garrett Counseling's National Coffee Day shindig. The Garrett Counseling crew loves their coffee and they want to share the warm wonderfulness of it with others on National Coffee Day (September 19th). They've partnered with three locations: Java Jolt in Jacksonville, JaMoka's Coffee Company in Albertville, and OHenry's Coffees in Brookwood Village (Birmingham), so if you're near one of these locations drop by on September 19th for a free coffee and other fun goodies and activities.

Grad School, Week 2: Digging In

Methodology Presentation, the Library, and Learning Object Brainstorming Art 625: Introduction to Design Research & Writing Methods Methodology Presentation Field trip to the Library I gave a 10-15 minute presentation on design research methodologies along with a handout aimed at undergrad students. This was my first really tough assignment which I had to give two days early due to a planned absence. My entire weekend (Friday-Monday) was consumed with reading, taking notes, and distilling information for this project and my homework for Art 640. My poor husband had to take care of everything around the house, including all our meals, and I had to [...]

Design Readings & Research Seminar Discussed possible topics for our research paper I'm leaning towards doing something involving how design [...]

Grad School, Day 1

Today was my first day of class. It was fun and informative and my fellow grad students and professors all seem pretty cool. I'm taking Design Research Readings & Seminar (Art 625) with Jamie Runnels, and Contemporary Media/Communication Studio (Art 640) with Seth Johnson. As the name implies, the first class is going to be super reading and research heavy. We have five books we'll be reading this semester. Thankfully I've already read several of them so the information will be a little easier to process -- so many big words! I have a feeling I'm going to love the [...]
