Also, I forgot to post my final project from Graphics 537 Typography class last semester. It's audio from a piece of Dane Cook's car alarm skit set in motion with type. The project was done in Adobe After Effects, which we had to learn while doing it. Enjoy!

I'm in a New York state of mind
This Wednesday I will be leaving for the senior graphics capstone field trip to New York City. This may sound like fun and games, but the senior designers have busy schedules ahead of them. Thursday and Friday will be jam-packed with corporate meetings and no time for lunch, even though Sherri has yet to forward our itinerary.
Be jealous, kiddies. Headliners include visiting Rolling Stone Magazine and checking up on the "rocking" design department, the National Hockey League to test our sports design knowledge, and (my personal fave) Print Magazine. Print Magazine is only the coolest place EVER for a designer. It's The New York Times of design- it's my Mecca. Thanks to Sherri's contacts, we have an in. We'll also be presenting logos we've designed to a group of teenage photographers from the nycSALT program. And lastly, we will present preliminary ideas for our social impact campaigns to the people critiquing our portfolios in May and ultimately determining my fate.
Here is a copy of my rough draft design for the SALT program:
Anyway, that business will come later in blogging when it's more definitive and my designs are finalized. For now I'd like to show you the project that I'm bringing to NYC. The assignment was to create a "leave behind" for each employer we see while we're visiting. We could put as much into it as we wanted, but basically it's like leaving a creative business card with pieces of my work. Here's a little background info: every time I travel I try to buy magnets featuring the city or country I'm in to keep as a personal momento. They're cost effective and fun to look at later. Using that idea, I created magnets of my work. Small, easy to bring in a bag as I traverse around NYC, and not as expensive as creating a shirt or poster. My hard work of Saturday and Sunday:
I used the same wordmark and font for the leave behind as I use on my resume to create consistency. The back features an explanation of each project. It turned out pretty well for being amatuer! Would you hire me? please?
Here's a little something courtesy of google. Laugh, you know you want to.
