I’m in love with this simple little design/illustration that’s up to vote on Threadless. It doesn’t help that I feel this way about trying to find a graphic design job >.<

Vote for this design to become a shirt here!

Suffocation wallpaper

This is the current mood I’m having about my life right now. I was going for the minimal and motivational wallpapers that I’ve been seeing around everywhere. I made one for my desktop that says “stay motivated.”  I’m not sure if its working.

These have been my favorite colors for the past 6+ months. I especially love the blues! The orange is only secondary, and it helps the blue pop!  You can tell that I really dig these colors just by looking at the colors on my blog. I was thinking of making one or two of the wall in my office the middle color blue and then accent it with orange with in the room. It would make the room more attractive and fun.

For color inspiration I go to kuler, thank you graphic design teacher. Its a simple way to get colors together to see what they would look like. They also have users putting together pallets for others to see.  I prefer this website over other color pallettes sites because it gives you a lot of customizing options when others don’t. Its  interesting that the first two highest rated pallettes are quite similar to each other. I wonder what that says about us and what colors we like.

I worked on this wall paper a couple weeks ago, and I’ve had the idea for quite a while. It’s based off the game Minecraft and an item in the game is a cake that you can craft and gives you health.  I pretty much like it the way it is now, but I’ve also played around with idea of instead of the “war” it would be the TNT block from the game.

Feel free to use this as your wallpaper, but please don’t steal it and make it your own.

This was my first “real world” graphic design work. Commissioned through ADS Media Group to do a poster for the Saucy September Evening. Which was also converted into a flyer and an ad  for Valley Voice.  I was just happy to have an actual paying job and put it in my portfolio. I finished the poster over a week ago but made the ad this morning. Let me know if  you see any of these posters around town so I can go check it out for myself!

As a side note, I’m working on the photo and (soon to come) graphic design portion of my website. Please be patient while I get everything set up, nice and pretty.

PS If anyone needs any graphic work done let me know, I can help you out!

I did want to show [...]]]> I finished up my last final EVER yesterday! It feels like my birthday, I don’t feel older, but I know I am older. Of course I’m excited, but I feel like nothing has changed. I feel like I haven’t done enough work to get a degree. Silly of me, huh?

I did want to show you my last project for graphic design class. This was my first attempt to using flash. The class had the option to use either photoshop or flash to animate at 15 second animation. I gave photoshop a chance since it looked easier to use but the tweening was crappy and the animation as a whole was choppy.  I learned flash in an evening watching video tutorial on youtube. I was much happier with flash it ran much smoother. Converting it it gif was another problem on its own.

So what is going to happen after I graduate? Tim and I are moving back back to Visalia. Some people here (SJ) don’t understand why we are moving back to what they believe is a middle of nowhere town. But to us its not a middle of nowhere town. We have our family and support system there; it is so much cheaper and we able to afford the living coasts; we have connections to help us find the jobs we need; and it is home to us. I believe that we will be so much happier once we move back and start over in a different place.

We found a cute apartment that is a triplex that looks like house. Its secluded and quite, which its the noise that bothers us the most in San Jose. It has  a dishwasher, central air, back yard, and hook up for a washer and dryer. There are two bedrooms, a large kitchen and living room. We couldn’t be more excited to move to a bigger and better place for over 25% less in costs.

Right now I have to worry about getting everything packed and organized in a small space. I had to give up my desk for 2 weeks to make room for boxes. I need to get everything organized for this upcoming weekend with graduation ceremony and Fanime. And finally making sure we have everything in place and ready to go when we move in the beginning of June.

Just turned in yesterday, here is my second project of the semester for graphic design. It is an A6 envelope size folded like this:

Just turned in yesterday, here is my second project of the semester for graphic design. It is an A6 envelope size folded like this:

Now on to next project of making a 3d object with the same theme. We’ll see how it turns out!

Update: sent out graduation invitations yesterday. Makes it feel so official. I need to start looking around for a job/internship!
