I Shot Andy Warhol Promo Piece

This is supposed to be a promo piece. The box that is wrapped in the butcher paper is how the box will come since Andy Warhol wrapped his Brillo boxes in butcher paper.

The box contains:
"ray bans"
temporary tattoos
water gun
wife beater
matches

GRD Club Suggestions

Ok so far ive gotten a lot of feedback. Ill keep it coming as i get it.

Things we could do as a club:
-tour print shops
--have someone teach us how to set prints
-have a art lawyer come talk to us
-- copyright laws
--contracts
--any protection for freelance projects
-get someone to come in and talk about how to set up portfolios for graduation
-have designers come in to show us work and talk
-collectively go to gallery openings or at least post cool art shows going on around town
-pin up shows for just our department
-work on class projects with other departments ie. identity project, use a photographer, have someone in textiles make a pattern or fabric, etc.
-paper museum
-have a site/data where we can constantly upload fonts/tutorials/etc for each other to use
-feature a designer a month on the website/blog (I wouldnt mind being in charge of this at all)

Things we could buy as a club:
-light box
-software
-light table
-coil binder
-saddle stitch binder
-screen printing materials
-have a library of books
-a web site for the club to link to GSU
-helping student pay for costs to enter in shows/competitions

What we would need:
a space to keep our materials, a closet or something.

So a lot of that could factor in the costs for them to possibly give us more money. We have to give as many proposals as possible. I hear GSU is very stingy with club money. We could also make it sound like (depending on who we are talking to about this) that the graphic design department is key to GSU and the identity of the school. We have had several designers graduate and current who have done work for GSU sports, individual schools of study, mailers, etc. Our academic achievements are seen more around campus than any other department at school. We should be given a good amount of money.


PLEASE ANY MORE IDEAS REPLY TO THIS POST
**if there are any designers you would like to come to GSU to talk about their work please write a name down so we can include it in the proposal.

Ardens Garden Detox

Well I decided to blog about this experience. For those of you who care to read or not. I think I am blogging for personal satisfaction. Well this crazy detox business started yesterday curious about a 4 shot wheat grass/ginger/cranberry/lemon thing one of my regulars rants and raves about. So I dragged my boyfriend into the shop and sat down for the shots. Preparing, I noticed the two day detox on the wall. The helpful clerk told us all about it and we decided to de-toxin our bodies! ps. I have never done anything like this, no diets ever, and I even roll my eyes at people who do this sort of thing....... figures..

Today was the first of the two days. I will give a more time by time update as the night progresses as well as tomorrow and if i survive! I think i just want to see if I have the discipline. So I have to drink two gallons over the two days (8 oz each hour) of a distilled water/grapefruit/lemon/orange juice combination and as much water as I want.

5:12pm: This is not as bad as I thought it would be, It is interesting that each time I begin to get hungry its time again to drink and I fill back up again. I also am starting to get back pains. The same type of back pains I get when I finish a deep-tissue massage. Is this the juice releasing toxins!! or is it my need for a back rub?

8:29pm: So i just finished my 8:00 "dinner" and I was kinda crossing my fingers that my boyfriend broke and ate some solid food so I can break too! I was thinking about all the food I could eat in my kitchen on the drive home from class... damn its only 8:30....

10:34pm: ughh i want chips.. this is a lot harder than i thought!

SECOND DAY


9:51am: I cheated a little last night an sunk a little snack... but I am still rolling on... I had the best sleep ever last night but now all of the main muscles in my body are sore.

stone soup catering menu!

another tweet project, turned this one in last week

my new teapot!

this teapot is designed by the industrial designer Michael Graves. Ive been wanting to get this kettle for a while, it has a rooster head as the whistle! AND its red and matches my kitchen!

biggest challenge yet...

So tweet wants me to re design their site... their site is beautiful as is.. SO challenge. With about 20 sketches later and lots of days thinking about it... the idea im going with just came to me. This is it. any suggestions? I dont think my strength is in web soo just any suggestions with the design is helpful.

Ok so this is what you see when you first go to the site. Each "card" (grabbed this off of their original site) is a roll-over image. When you roll over it the image will glow, you click, and flash takes over the card you clicked on by sliding out and on top of the stack. pretend we clicked on "portfolio".

**still have to think of how to label each card...

So you click on the card it slides over and on top of the others and a white overlay comes in from the right. and stops before the logo. (see below)
The white square on the left will appear (filled with thumbnails images of work) with the first client appearing. the brown boxes on the right are always filled with thumbnails of multiple pieces of work ie. logo, business cards, menus, etc.

thought of you nathan

im still working on the colors for the back of it.. i am pretty much finished with the front, i distressed the font and will do the same on the back once i get a color scheme i am happy with. what do you guys think?

paper toy page

surprise surprise

i have to keep up my reputation and change my project...
all new audio.

what i have so far... thank you for your time.

scream!

ive been saving this for a good day...

type in motion...

strong man

Ok so this is the direction I am going with. Since I am creating a Strong Man paper toy, the front of my page will look like this and the back part will have the toy and instructions. I will add background textures and also make it look like the font has a texture as well. The toy will be perforated so its easy for those with arthritis to construct. This is the front, not sure exactly what to do with the warning part quite yet but... anyway. Any suggestions?
ps
dotted line = perforated

The breakfast club

I finally decided on the breakfast club. I am sad that someone already did a kinetic type project with the scene I want to do... but its not done that well SOO im up for the challenge.

paper toy

OK SOOOOoo im stuck, i want to create a movable paper doll without using brackets. This is the "prettiest" way i could go about doing it but i think it may also be the lamest way.. what do you guys think. basically the dumbbells slide up and down. it is attached to a piece of paper which goes through a slit in the body where you can slide it up and down...?? im lost..
