RAIN..

I think I posted about this a long time ago when I first started my blog. The first week I lived in Nashville it greeted me with ceaseless showers; then Germany, then Ireland, then Krakow etc. I like to think that I like it, that I get to see the city without its pretty shine for the tourist-gaze.* The de-romanticized version of the place that people will not undeniably fall in love with. Australia is no exception. We watched he rain from our restaurant, where we could see the boats going by on the river, and all of the young Brisbane sophisticates meeting for lunch and looking like models straight out of Topshop. Lets hope it clears up so I can stop being so darn phosphorescent..

I found these inspirations I had posted on my old blog for Graphic Design II. I looked back at them today because I'm using a similar cut & paste style, but also because these sites were just so cool. This is something I need to start playing with a lot more on my free time. I want to become a lot better at ornamentation and layering, and doing things in my free time in general.. Enjoy!

the project that is taking over my life

I love working with flash, but it's frustrating when there's no one really to ask for help. So after hours of tutorial watching and nerdy blog reading, these are screen shots from a partially completed website for Let it ROt! The National Composting Campaign that the nation doesn't quite yet know about, but just wait..

idea

Last night was a wonderful night for music. I was laying on my floor with my head on a big pillow listening to our giant boom box blare bon iver, and I pictured justin vernon laying on a pillow mirroring me and singing to me. It was wonderful, and would actually make a pretty cool commercial or ipod marketing visual i think. I'll keep it in my back pocket..

Learn Origami

Oh, ya. These were the last few pages of my audit with the instructions for folding the pastry box with lid, and loose-leaf tea bag. Learn! Fold! Love! Origami!

YIKES

It's time for an update, sorry guys. Thanksgiving came and went, and of course while being confined in the Middle-of-Nowhere, Alabama without cell service, internet and 5 TV channel options with a satellite, I had an amazingly relaxing time and got nothing school-related accomplished. Last night I stayed up until my class this morning finishing up my sustainable packaging audit for the House of Chá. Here are some pages from my PDF presentation..

What is occupying my time now is the website for my composting project. It's coming along slowly but surely. I can't explain how frustrating it is to have to teach yourself a program, and not have a teacher behind you to ask questions along the way. After hours of Flash tutorial watching, I have a few fancy frames to show for it. And then I of course stumble upon beautiful sites like this that make me feel completely inadequate. I should go learn Flash in Japan. They obviously know how to work it.
