Soundtrack!

I've reached ten! Ten blog entries, that is! And over the past couple months I've entitled each of my entries with a song that is from my music playlists. So this is a contemplation of those songs which is somewhat representational of my life as it's been this semester.

1. Familiar Taste of Poison- Halestorm
2. Set the Fire to the Third Bar- Snow Patrol and Martha Wainwright
3. We'll Never Know- Lifehouse
4. If You Only Knew- Shinedown
5. Learning to Breathe- Switchfoot
6. Don't You Know You're Beautiful- Seabird
7. Dream On- Aerosmith
8. Bury Me Alive- We Are the Fallen
9. I Need You Now- Lady Antebellum
10. Heaven- Live

'Bury Me Alive' -We Are The Fallen

Ahh Monday...Favorite day of the week...Not! The weekend went by too quick. Seriously where did it go?  

Anyway, for this entry I wanted to share some great art currently seen in the media and look at current art trends. A great way to follow trends in art is through the magazine Communication Arts. Really and truly, this is a great magazine for an inside look at the industry.

Here's the website:

'Dream On' -Aerosmith



Happy St. Patrick's Day! It's been a while...I took a much needed (and I think deserved) Spring Break! It should have been longer. Anyhow, I've been hard at work on so many different art projects. I honestly don't know how I could have any creativity left!

One of my projects is another brochure design. This time it's a "how-to" brochure design with unlimited use of color. I haven't put the final touches on it yet, but I thought I'd share it.



What you are seeing above is the outer sides of the brochure. The panel with the quote is the back, and the two silhouettes make up the front panel. The front of the brochure opens down the middle (where the two sides of the heart meet). Obviously, the brochure topic is light hearted and discusses how to survive a blind date. 
Now, what you are seeing are the inside panels of the brochure. The blue guides (which will not be seen on the actual printed version) represent the folds. Both side panels fold in. 


That's all for now! However, I will be posting more finished art projects soon!

'Learning to Breathe' -Switchfoot

It's been a little while since I've posted a new blog, and this is going to be a short one. I simply wanted to share some artwork I stumbled across that I absolutely LOVE.

Beautiful Prints!!

This week I will be uploading photos of a couple of pieces I have as well as a fun short video I did in my film class. Look for it!

BTYS (real soon!)
