Life has been incredibly busy and stressful this past month. This quarter (April- next week) I was takking Portfolio II for the second time, trying to finish my portfolio. It was due this past thursday at noon in the design office, and I finished printing + mounting my work and got my last three sign-off signatures an hour and a half before the due ( Read more... )

A good designer knows how to get out of a hole if their solution is digging them one. The problem with me is I don't know how to get myself out.

Recently (about two weeks ago) I was asked by the Juneau, Alaska school district to create a logo for a community campaign in responce to the energy crisis the city is facing. The campaign is called "Juneau Unplugged: Live More, Use Less" and it focuses on "providing information and support during the crisis period."

Here's the logo I designed:

Update, Kinda:

Nearly two weeks ago I went to see Bob Mouldat Nuemos. I had been waiting about 2 or 3 years to see him because he always plays 21+ shows.

Soooo, I'm going back to Minneapolis next month. My first roommate and #1 Crust Punk, Nick, moved there recently with a few of his/my friends from Seattle. They tend to travel around a lot (though, not together) and I haven't seen them in the same place in almost a year, and it looks like this will be my only chance for quite some time. SO I'm ( Read more... )
