50 Weeks of Creativity: Week 14

It's been a very busy week, as I have been adjusting to being home (finally), catching up on homework, and finalizing everything for my art exhibition this coming weekend. I don't have much to update on, but I do have a video for the exhibition to share for this week's creativity contribution.

During my junior year of undergrad, I produced my own student television station. My brother helped me put it all together, and so earlier this week we took some old footage, edited it, and created a promotional video for my fundraising portion of my final project.

50 Weeks of Creativity: Week 13

This week's creativity includes some fun creations! I kicked the week off in DC, where I was extremely busy -- but not too busy to take some photographs of the capital and the blooming cherry blossoms. But most importantly, I also took pictures of my friend Alana and her son Jordan wandering around the Smithsonian, which was fun to do.

When I got home from DC (back to the right Washington), I returned to work on my final project, the PY // Art from Parkland's Youth art show. I designed a flyer for the show, which I will be distributing at the high schools, around campus, and hopefully among local businesses in the coming weeks. I'd like to strongly encourage my readers of this blog to please visit pyartshow.com to learn more about this unique project, and to consider supporting the show as well.

Most of my work in the coming weeks will most likely relate to the art show, as that is one of my final two courses left in my MA degree from SCAD (yay). I'll start branching out into other creative endeavors over the summer.

50 Weeks of Creativity: Weeks 10, 11 and 12

My apologies for the delayed posts! I have been extraordinarily busy. I finished my internship with Fast Web Media, spent Easter weekend in Belgium visiting my good friend Aurelie and helping her move into her new house with her boyfriend Bastien. Then I returned to London where I said my goodbyes, and finally I came home -- where I promptly got sick, and spent three days getting caught up before leaving for Washington, DC for Arts Advocacy Day where I lobbied with Washington State Representatives about the arts. Anyway, I am back now, and will promptly get caught up!

First; on Monday of week 10, I took some great photos from the plane as I flew from Berlin to London. So those photographs are my contributions for week 10. In week 11, I worked on a report for Fast Web Media and I put my findings into an infographic. And last week was week 12, where I spent some time working on branding materials for my PY // Art from Parkland's Youth project.

So here are my creative contributions, and now that I am back in Tacoma I will be back to updating regularly!

PY // Art from Parkland's Youth design work can be seen throughout the website I put together. Additionally, here is the logo I designed for all future promotional materials.
