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. [...]

AIGA Vegas

2016 AIGA Design Conference Oct 17-19, 2016 @ The Mirage Las Vegas Las Vegas, Nevada My first AIGA conference is a wrap. It was a fun and super informative event full of interesting and inspiring content. I enjoyed hanging out with Stefanie, a fellow grad student from JSU, and the many wonderful people I met during the convention. Some great conversations were had, the speakers were fantastic, cool swag was collected, and I even won an awesome VR Headset. This was also my first visit to Vegas and it was a bit overwhelming. I enjoyed seeing the sights, but I'm [...]

Grad School, Week 7: Project Discussions & Large Format Printing

My week got off to a bit of a rough start. First I was up all night Monday night doing research for my Design Entrepreneurship project and putting together a mock-up Wordpress. I was in the groove so I stayed up too late and then I decided to stay up all night in order to make sure I didn't oversleep for class. I left home early and was eating breakfast at Sonic in Jacksonville when I got a call from Karl telling me our house alarm had gone off. The alarm company called a minute later so I turned around [...]

Grad School, Week 6: Introduction to Adobe Premiere

This week was so packed full of fun art things in and outside school that I think it's going to take me a day or two to recover before I can get back to work on some of my research projects. Thank goodness for long weekends! Art 625: Design Readings & Research Our reading discussion for this week revolved around Design Context. It was super tedious but interesting, especially the parts that discussed the context of culture -- an area I am very interested in. Ever since visiting Japan last year I've been thinking about their design styles in contrast to [...]

Hello SPE Friends!

It's hard to believe it's already been a week since SPENOLA. I had a great time and enjoyed camaraderie and passion for education and sharing that are always present at SPE. I've just begun processing my photos from the trip, but I can go ahead and share some of my highlights from the trip -- in no particular order. NOMA's Sculpture Garden The Jerry Uelsmann lecture at NOMA Exploring the French Quarter Eating over a dozen different tasty things. Yum! I particularly enjoyed the very first panel I attended: Integrating Video into Still Photography Programs Chris Jordan's touching preview of his [...]

Mural Project: Completed!

At long last, after tons of setbacks and a whole lot of hard work the Little Tree Preschool mural project is complete. It turned into a major pain when most of the people that volunteered to help were a no show but the friendships that formed between the rest of us that worked out butts off was well worth it. The preschool staff and kids are very happy with it so mission accomplished.
