  • New Blog Look!

    Today in Multimedia Portfolio class, with help from a classmate, I successfully migrated my blog posts over to my domain server, so that my posts show up on my Portfolio website!

  • Learning & Teaching

    Today in the Portfolio Production Lab, it was my turn to learn how to properly fold, bind, and cut the graded version of our magazines. First, we folded each page in the center, starting with the edges, and using a scoring tool from the center-out to flatten the fold and make it precise. Next, we… Read more

  • Printer Problems!

    In Portfolio Production Lab on Thursday, it was my turn to walk my classmate through the process of printing off their magazine through our Fiery Command WorkStation.

They are a completely remote company, so they have… Read more

  • Some Helpful Apps for Designers

The first was Pinterest, which I already had, like… Read more

Her apartment is beautifully decorated from floor to ceiling with either her own art, or art that… Read more

  • Logo Work

    Over the weekend, I started building the logo ideas for the Portfolio Show from my sketches in Adobe Illustrator, so I was able to show my classmates tody what I had and start bouncing ideas off of others. One design in particular has a slanted sort of box around half of the words, and one… Read more

  • Semester Two (Portfolio Prep)

    I just finished my first two days of the seceond semester. We missed our technical “first day” because of a pretty bad snow storm the night before. I’ve now been through all four of the that I have this last bit of the year, and they’re all in preparation for the portfolio show at the… Read more
