Having spent a great portion of yesterday doing product research, I stumbled upon the lovely website that is Such Great Heights. These kids products are created to nurture creativity and utilize quality materials and design adults will cherish. I know I would have loved playing in my own Wonder Tent as a child. Take a look!
Senior Problems at Hallmark
Last Thursday I was introduced to the project I will be completing for my Senior Problems class working in Hallmark's packaging department! I will be designing under the direction of Krista Masilionis, Hallmark Creative Studio Director, and Patrick Dooley, Design Professor at the University of Kansas. I am excited to get researching, I know this will end up being a valuable addition to my portfolio. It is going to be an exciting semester!
Martin Luther King Day
Words to ponder.
Black & White Kitchen
Having spent some time browsing apartments while in St. Louis, I fell in love with a black and white checkered floor in one of the kitchens. It has been on my mind ever since and I thought I would do a little searching and find kitchen accessories along the same lines:
2013 Moments
While we are already well into January, I decided to take a look back at my travels, creative experiences, and time with friends and family throughout 2013. This past year I had opportunity to experience two different internships with Ampersand Design Studio and Trozzolo Communications Group. With only one semester of college left ahead of me, in 2013 I was able to take studio classes I loved. This allowed me to spend time in the letterpress lab, dive into hand lettering and become a much more experienced book binder. One of my proudest crafting moments was creating my Fraser Hall Halloween costume. Lawrence has truly become my second home over the past few years, and this year I loved continuing to explore my college town and spend time with great friends and inspiring classmates. This was also a great year for traveling: I spent time skiing, went on a cruise and took a senior trip to Las Vegas. I can't wait to see what 2014 will bring!
Drop Cap Inspiration
For an upcoming project I have been gathering some drop cap inspiration. While Jessica Hische can provide endless, beautiful inspiration for drop caps, I tried to find examples from various sources. Here are a few of my favorites, enjoy!
