adventures with graphic design & a homage to our building.

the most incredible of the benefits of working for higher education - is actually the gift of free higher education for yourself! when i started my job, i took a semester to decide what would actually be the best route for my post-undergraduate education. after months of contemplating the present, past, and future, i decided that i would get another undergraduate degree in graphic design.

its the degree that i wanted to pursue right out of high school - but was warned by my mom that it wouldn't be the smartest choice. im glad that i waited because not only do i have years under my belt of pent-up creativity - but it also gives me a whole new outlook on education, art classes, and graphic design --not being a full time student anymore.

ive been doing really well - and am so proud of myself (for once). tomorrow i meet with the graphic design advisor at my school to see if im ready to officially apply to the program. [fingers crossed]

here is my latest project.

the first part of it was to create an abstract illustration using only type. the second part of this project was to use that illustration to grace a beer [or] wine label. since were homebrewers, i had to go with the beer.

im so excited to present today! i got an A!
