Books, Periodicals, Printed Materials...

Recent Inspiration

I have been going back to my old bookshelf with all my old journals and sketchbooks to see w\how my work has progressed, within all those was this book: Artists' Representatives 26

I remember this book being the best representation of talent and creativity etc. It was amazing what some people could do, and how they started, Here are some specific pages I liked...

(all done in primacolor pencils!!)

There are some things in here that I;ve always wanted to try, but still need to find the time to do. I wish I could subscribe to this, but it's very expensive. I'm just lucky this landed on my doorstep instead of the one intended.

Here is a website I found that is just like the book. It probably is the website version of the book! ^.^ but this is a truly inspirational place to go to. It has some great artists and great work!

WorkSpace

Welcome to my Sanctuary!

This is where I work, This is where I live, This is where I dream.

Since I've gotten into the program I have spent most of my time working or brainstorming, and that all happens here. This area actually used to be a mini recording studio; I had the whole shebang set up. However, since I haven't had time for any of that, so I redesigned/organized it to be my little design studio instead.

The Gadgets:
In my little office, I have three monitors (two for working and most of the time the third one I use for music or movies). To the right there is a drawing desk and even more to the right is my printer (Epson RS2000). I just got new ink for a steal! I'm pretty excited about that!
Under my large monitor I have a Wacom Intuos4 Extra Large Tablet. It's a a 13" x 8" wired, 5080 dpi, tilt sensitive tablet, that was generously donated to the 'Anri is always working and could use this fund' from my last internship. I am so thankful for this, this tablet is a lifesaver and so much better than my bamboo!

The Environment:
This is actually located under my bed. I have a queen sized bunk bed. Bed on top, and office on bottom. I do spend more time down here than I do up there though...and when I sleep, I snooze in this chair, I think my bed is getting a little bit lonely!

I have a lot of boards on the wall to pin up inspirations or reminders. My calendar is a little more to the right, but it is fairly large and you can't miss a due date.

It may look like a mess, but its organized chaos :) I love this area, all I need now is a mini fridge so I don't have to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night ;)

Magazine Re-Design: The Echo (progress)

Bent Tree: The Echo

Magazine Re-Design

Print & Editorial

Liz Throop

Here is my Print and Editorial Project Progress. We had to choose any magazine and reinvent it. I chose Bent Tree's residential magazine. It is exclusively for the residents of Bent Tree in Jasper Georgia. These homeowners get a magazine every month with events and news about their community. The original magazine was in black and white and so overcrowded with lots of stories, low quality photographs, and no white space. Given that the audience is more on the older (retired) side, I thought there should be more room to breathe, bigger font, and beautiful color. This is a beautiful residential community, and the current magazine does absolutely nothing to promote that. I wanted to help. So here is my re-interpretation! Let me know what you think!!
