« Previous EntriesThe Week in Pictures: 5/30/08
Friday, May 30th, 2008I have to admit that this week was a little less eventful (except for the last photo!) because I spent most of my time sitting at computers, namely my school computer, my Nemo computer, and my home computer. So much sitting!
I started off by doing a little cut-and-paste of product names for an upcoming catalog. I […]

POM Wonderful: Pure Genius Advertising
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008I’ve been a POM drinker for years, but I’ll admit that it was the logo emblazoned with a big, red heart and the mod packaging that originally drew me in!
POM Wonderful is a privately owned company and brand of pomegranate juice, advertised as one of the most powerful naturally-occurring antioxidants. It is sold in distinctive […]
Planning and Assembling a Print Portfolio
Sunday, May 25th, 2008Over the last few weeks, I have spent nearly every free moment sweating the details of my print portfolio. Besides deciding on a format and size, I had to develop a general format for the pages and repeatedly revise the selection of pieces to include.
While designing a print portfolio is a requirement for me to graduate, […]
The Week in Pictures: 5/20/08
Friday, May 23rd, 2008This has been one of the busiest weeks I’ve had in ages (and that’s saying a lot)! It started off nicely enough as I sipped my morning chai out of a vintage Mademoiselle mug Smokey found at an estate sale. He is always giving me the cutest presents (and they definitely make up for his […]

The Week in Pictures: 5/13/08
Friday, May 16th, 2008I started out the week working on another ceramic red cross. It’s hanging out in the basement with three new pieces…
Though, most of my free time at home was spent sitting at my desk. I graduate in less than three weeks so this week has been filled with late nights trying to get […]

New Hangtags: Made With Love
Thursday, May 15th, 2008My new double-sided hangtags just showed up (they’ll be hole-punched and attached to my new merch). Only made 100 of ‘em! As always, I ordered from Overnight Prints and besides being cheap and high quality, they’re super fast.

Portfolio Revision #4: Mark Twain Book Cover
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008I haven’t been posting my portfolio revisions lately because in all honesty, they haven’t changed enough to be noticable! So, for my last one, I wanted to do something dramatically different.
The original cover was fine, but a bit generic. I liked the typography and hierarchy of words, but it wasn’t anything groundbreaking. For the revision, I […]
Ask Nubby #5: The Art of Networking
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008
Question:
As someone with an interest in both business / marketing & graphic design / the arts, how you approach networking both in real life & online? Networking can often be very shallow, where people use one another to advance & solely promote themselves. On the other hand, it can also be a […]
I Love The Chesterfield PDX!
Sunday, May 11th, 2008The Chesterfield is my new favorite hangout in Portland for a multitude of reasons…
My dad stopped by there a few months ago and called me the next day, telling me that he’d found my place. He just knew that I’d love it! The music, cool furniture, deep red walls, gourmet food and clean bathrooms all immediately […]
The Week in Pictures: 5/9/08
Friday, May 9th, 2008Often, I end up with a bunch of photos by the time Friday rolls around ( I don’t usually post on weekends) that don’t fit with the articles I’ve posted and I was thinking that they still deserve to be shared! From now on, I’ll try to do a ‘Week in Pictures’ post showing glimpses […]

Tools of The Trade: LaCie Brick External Hard Drive
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008
Is it a lego? Is it a hard drive?!
I just became the proud owner of a LaCie Brick external hard drive and I couldn’t be happier with it! I first noticed it on my friend Star’s blog and loved the looks of it. It also has 500 GB of space and is super affordable!
It’s such […]
