New Video

Here’s an update on what I’ve been up to since school ended, and about a therapy I’ve been getting called EFT.


Feist poster copycat on Shutterstock.com

I actually own this Feist poster…. I can’t really tell if the Shutterstock author is copying the Feist poster designer, or if they happen to be the same person… But either way, it’s curious.



Upside down signs are funny

Flatstock 2010 haul!

Woops I accidentally bought eleven posters at Flatstock this year! I meant to get five… But it looks as though I subconsciously knew what I was doing, because now the walls of my bedroom AND office are full! :)

… am I right?

Dear e-stalker:

Please get a life and stop writing moronic/disgusting messages on my design blog. I’d block you, but I’d rather document your idiocy so that I can report you to your ISP.  Do not contact me any further.

And to everyone else, sorry to publicly announce this minuscule burden. But I hafta be able to prove that I’ve told him to stop contacting me so that I can get him banned from his ISP if he continues. And since he never leaves a real email address, it must be public!

I dunno why he comes here, of all the sexier and/or more educational places on the internet!

New logo pride

My friend (and host of my site!) asked me to make a new logo for his link-building company. Just finished it today so I’m excited to show it!

He knew what he liked and didn’t like about logos and had a pretty clear idea of the style. So I gave him 30 ideas, and this was one of them. The arrows represent other sites pointing to one site; the negative space creates the plus sign, representing addition; and the four colors represent his company’s four pillars: Education, Expertise, Technology, and Community. :)


(he wanted one to have a round “m&m” feel to it haha)

This disgusts me!

Happy 2010!

Hope everyone had their pork, cabbage, and blackeyed peas!

Done and done!

Throughout the end of the semester, I’ve been extremely anxious about everything: “Will I pass my classes? Will I finish my portfolio? Will Exit Review be fruitful? Will my Graduation go smoothly?” I always come through somehow in the end, but I’ve never NOT gone through something without imagining some sort of disastrous outcome.

Thankfully, everything went without a hitch! I graduated with honors, so my classes are fine. I finished my portfolio and everyone loves it. My Exit Review went extremely well. During my commencement, I didn’t fall, none of my posse got lost, and my name was pronounced correctly…

I soared through so many finish lines in the past month, I shouldn’t have a thing to worry about. I WILL get my Christmas shopping done in time. I WILL have a nice and amazing Christmas vacation with my boyfriend in Las Vegas. I WILL ring in the new year properly. I WILL find an awesome job. I WILL live happily ever after!!
