Retiring the Blog
I'm retiring this blog. Good news, though! You don't have to give up on content from me. My content has just moved to my main site for reasons of practicality. If you have any questions, ask away! I'm not leaving my Google account, so this is still a valid point of contact if you've happened upon it.

Design Memory Lane: Mac Mini Ad Series
Memory lane is a new blog post type that I'll be doing regularly. Basically the idea is to look back at something I did in the past - the good and the bad about it. Hopefully it will be an interesting exercise for me and for any of you reading.
This set of ads - a full page magazine ad at the top, two billboards (second and on the bottom), and a two-page magazine spread second from the bottom were one of my big projects for class in college.
They're circa 2005, I believe, and as one of my later pieces in the program, I'm actually pretty proud of them. It's strange to think how much planning it took to arrive at these now. Now I look at these and am pretty sure I could whip them out start to finish in no time flat. Thankfully this trip down memory lane isn't embarrassing. It's just strange to think of how far I've come in terms of basic skills.

Shining the Light Towards Success
Every year at the University where I work, the people in the Student Life division take part in a day of workshops and professional development opportunities. This year, I got to do the logo for the event. I'd been seeing a lot of cute stacked type logos in old school styles on Pinterest and wanting to try my hand. It never seemed to fit a project until this one. After a LOT of thumbnailing to try to cement the details, I did several different versions of the logo. Some were entirely hand done, some were part hand type and part fonts. In the end, I used existing fonts and manipulated slightly where needed to create the effect I wanted - and I'm frankly thrilled with the outcome.
