summer begins

well... here I am trying to feel like i'm all grown up. Sitting in my new Stringer common room, I can't help but kinda wish I was home with my family running around or watching tv; instead i'm just sitting here basically alone. It's not a bad alone, I feel fine, but it's just different... this doesn't feel like a dorm because everyone is gone to work or at classes all day... so I mean, I guess this is real life.

If you don't already know, I made the difficult decision to stay in Anderson this summer as a summer RA for little to no pay. I haven't gotten another job yet, but I'm trusting that God will provide for me how He sees fit and that things will be fine so long as I pursue Him in my plans and trust Him... that's kinda hard to say.

next summer i'll be interning and working my butt off to make ends meet and pay rent in the crappy apartment I'll most likely get. so I see this summer as good practice I reckon, and quite frankly, it's going to be good overall to learn to take care of some responsibilities on my own. idk, it's a growing experience for sure - just rough right now. anyways, i'm excited about this for real, and I'm going to stop complaining now. :)

finished

I'm done... but I still feel so on edge. this decision-making stuff just isn't for me.

Meet Chloe

This is the typeface I developed for my final. I wanted to achieve a certain level of youthfulness and class while still maintaining legibility. It became a lot easier to create cohesive character traits once I, in face, created a real character - which is the lovely lady you see above, Chloe. I dove into her character until I knew what kind of shoes she would wear... The dynamic stroke weights mirror her dynamic personality and the classic look this creates reflects her classy style and beautifully simplistic attitude.
I neglected to mention my color scheme during my presentation, but I used these colors because they are simple, feminine and calm. The colors are repeated throughout both the illustrations and the process book. The feminine touch was really a big bonus that I achieved with my serifs because I intended for Chloe to be used in print to replace the typical typefaces in magazines.

Modern Dog Poster Designs

..so I was browsing and I came across this design company that now possesses my heart (kiiiinda like the Death Cab song).

They have about a bagillion other posters if you want to check them out. I really love the hand-made feel that most of them have and how they typically use custom type, so I'm a fan, definitely.
