Update: We are scrapping this design and doing something else that looks similar. The cardboard sides became a big mess and it looked very poorly made. New design, fabrics and materials will be brought in for tomorrow's pin-up.

Packaging: Pt. 1
Since my object is a map, I've decided to do some kind of protective sleeve for hikers/all-day outdoor enthusiasts. My sister and I went to Hudson Trail Outfitters for construction ideas, and G street fabrics over the weekend. Measurements and designing took time. She's helping me construct this so so far a work in progress.

Advertisements
I was going for a graphic magazine type ad, but felt it needed to be a little edited after the class critique. A photograph says a lot, especially for this national park! I'm happy that I was able to take several beautiful photos of Shenandoah as well as using my own imagery. I did three other ads as a sidenote, but the one I originally turned in the first one below.
Postcards
For our first assignment, we created a postcard. Immediately, I knew I wanted to keep my postcard clean and graphic, but still very much me. So I gathered plants and flowers, with uncertainty as to what I was going to do with them. But I liked the end result and see it's potential.
My concept was to capture still moments in time, like experiencing a moment on the beach, writing a postcard in this technological era, or just gazing at a piece of jewelry. I did not quite grasp the assignment, as we were assigned to pick one specific object. So I've chosen maps, literal or conceptual, it holds the essence of my vision.

FOUNDATIONS Fall of 2010
Hello, I've started this blog for one of my first courses that I'm taking for a graduate interior design program at GWU. I like this idea of storing artwork though, so it will continue past the semester. Since attaining my BFA in Illustration at Pratt Institute, I feel like my art and design skills have matured considerably, and I look forward to share my point of view.
Before we began our first class, we picked out of a bag an object we'll be working with for the remainder of the semester. My object was "pens and stationery". As much as I enjoy hand writing letters and communicating by hand-mail, I was daydreaming more about the fluidity of how and where these letters go. My thought process led me to a paper map as my object. Paper maps are becoming a dieing object as well, but not quite. I look forward to the upcoming projects. Have much to learn!
