I recently completed this design for Jump-Start Performance Co.'s Fall 2008 newsletter. Jump-Start is a very fun, off-beat and vibrant performance theater. So I wanted to express that through bold colors, playful typefaces, and lots of trendy design elements (like paint splatters, half-tone backgrounds and 3d text).

 

This is a photograph I took, which I then manipulated in Photoshop. I applied filters, adjusted the colors, and overlayed parts of the image (e.g. the sky) with a texture.

 

 

 

I am currently in the midst of creating a website for a thoracic surgeon in Boston. At the moment, only the main page is up. Over the next few months, the subpages will be filled in. You can visit the site at www.newenglandchestsurgery.com.

I love singing, dancing, and I think I'd be a pretty decent actress. You could say I'm a triple threat. I also love hanging out with a friend and doing nothing particularly special, driving at night, yoga, having philosophical discussions, acting like I'm five, sitting and reading on a comfy couch in a coffee shop, seeing live bands, listening to and watching heavy downpours with lightning and thunder, trying new foods and/or restaurants, and perusing the books in the psychology, sociology, linguistics, mythology, science and math sections of a bookstore.

I completed the newsletter for Jump-Start recently. The newenglandchestsurgery.com website is still in progress. I submitted a proposal to do another website, so hopefully that will be a new job! I'm in talks with a band to maybe do their logo.

Monday / 19 / May
I've been buying a lot of graphic design books lately. Books on the business of design, on creative inspiration, on other designers' works.

Saturday / 9 / February
I went to "Second Saturday" tonight. Every second Saturday, there is a group of art galleries on South Flores and Lonestar that show their stuff. They also have some live bands playing.

I am currently working from home, due to a bunionectomy I had done on my left foot last week. The surgery went well. It wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be. It's amazing all the different aspects of your life that can be affected by not having a foot.

Saturday / 5 / January
I volunteered to help backstage at Jump-Start Peformance Company, which is a cool little theatre in the artsy district of downtown San Antonio. They had a bunch of different acts perform tonight during a 4 hour show. The people at Jump-Start are great, and I'm definitely going to volunteer with them regularly! I already volunteered once before, and it was a lot of fun.
