Brainstorming Book Ideas

Week 1: Spring 2017 I've been looking forward to this semester since I heard what classes were being taught last semester. I immediately knew what kind of book I'd like to create for the book pitch class but I enjoyed the brainstorming questions we were given as prompts and have several other ideas I'd like to work on in the future. All of my classmates have fun unique ideas and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's work progress. Dr. Henricks is retiring after this semester so I had to have one last class with her. She's doing a class on the [...]

The holiday break is over and a new semester has begun. This semester I'm taking Special Topics in Graphic Design: The Book Pitch with Jamie Runnells and History of the Printed Image with Dr. Henricks.

Semester Review, Fall 2016

At the end of each semester MFA students are required to present a formal summary of research and creative work to all members of the MFA Committee. I had my review today and it went really well. I enjoy having opportunities to present but can't help but feel nervous. I talked too fast and ended up with dry mouth constantly causing me to have to pause for a sip of water. It's so weird because that never happens to me. I need more presentation opportunities so I can work through it. I created a keynote presentation of my work from [...]

Grad School, Weeks 14-15

We were out of school last week for Thanksgiving/Fall Break which was great because it gave me a chance to attempt to play catch up on my projects. This is our final week of class. Next week is finals week but I don't believe either of my classes will be officially meeting. I have three projects that I'm currently working on: a research methodology project on How design can help victims of sexual trauma understand their legal options a group web project on Design Entrepreneurship called HatchED and a learning object on consent called 'How not to be a Rapist: [...]

Grad School, Week 10

Grad School, Week 10: This week was one of my most exhausting weeks so far, primarily due to all my travels last week. I was in Vegas last Sunday - Friday, arrived home Saturday morning, and then left Sunday morning for a two day trip to Helen, GA to squeeze a little quality time in with my husband and some friends. To top it all off, I developed a cold as soon as I got home from Vegas so I've felt sick and tired all week. All the traveling was worth it, but boy am I glad it's the weekend. [...]
