I really don't think of myself as a collector. I was looking around the house not finding anything. I walked into my closet room and it hit me. I have hundreds of pieces of clothing. And my closet is filled with handbags, scarves and other tidbits, but I pride myself on my shoe shelves. So, I brought in shoes. I have at least a hundred shoes. Some of which I've never worn. When I see an adorable shoe, I just have to have it!Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-18512042015485208222007-12-14T22:59:00.000-08:002007-12-14T23:02:03.570-08:00actual size<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9KNOqNoVNfFzOFq_bZ6bgTvtayyra9ropYwBFGAxqiq8K6RbMIkXKBObhAOhdTl7ZNP2fHGom8AgvriqZzkx3aA8VZpCb16lNC5C1t96rzwkarCX0ovj7uDbzaHe3M2b5y06AesO4rnc/s1600-h/camera.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9KNOqNoVNfFzOFq_bZ6bgTvtayyra9ropYwBFGAxqiq8K6RbMIkXKBObhAOhdTl7ZNP2fHGom8AgvriqZzkx3aA8VZpCb16lNC5C1t96rzwkarCX0ovj7uDbzaHe3M2b5y06AesO4rnc/s320/camera.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144090895641161618" /></a><br />I found this advertisement the other day while leafing through ESPN while waiting to get my oil changed. It's a Nikon ad for the D40. I thought it was really interesting and picked it out immediately. Initially I picked it out because of it's irregular size. In the end I took it with me because I loved that on the back it says the cutout is actual size. I thought it was very clever.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-65439388954956584592007-12-14T06:24:00.001-08:002007-12-14T22:59:28.461-08:00chicken scratches<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW8Q10dr18okqc-MWaiGOHF9FjhNBnnIm8ePLvW8X7pRsVJm4khZ2Y8BNMssEKoSrjmwgCYQy12zWQx8Q3IRPqwBdPhpQCvo1gFHnYlw6DRZw7xZxetKDUUl8v7sCxqGAi2IdgyRaiIwg/s1600-h/brochure.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW8Q10dr18okqc-MWaiGOHF9FjhNBnnIm8ePLvW8X7pRsVJm4khZ2Y8BNMssEKoSrjmwgCYQy12zWQx8Q3IRPqwBdPhpQCvo1gFHnYlw6DRZw7xZxetKDUUl8v7sCxqGAi2IdgyRaiIwg/s320/brochure.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5144090165496721282" /></a><br />It was tricky trying to figure out the pages for my process brochure. Finally I had to get out some ruled paper and do the old school method of this goes here and this goes here. I figured it out in the end. Here are my scratchings.

The Sun launched its new sports tab this Sunday. It's been a lot to get used to. The "magazine-like" style is much more design intensive that the old broadsheet format. But, it is fun. <br /><br />I got to take my first crack at designing the cover last night. Here's how it came out. <br /><br />I'm interested to see what you all think of the new tab (if you've seen it). If you haven't, you really should check it out. This is beginning to sound like a plug, but, really, you should make an effort to take a peek.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-29747918522602384042007-11-29T11:35:00.000-08:002007-11-29T11:41:20.437-08:00online magazines<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_f0Tv8zeFE/Rz4CvW2SVEI/AAAAAAAAALg/RlJYmkXX2K8/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_H_f0Tv8zeFE/Rz4CvW2SVEI/AAAAAAAAALg/RlJYmkXX2K8/s320/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133543637859324994" /></a><br />Could online magazines be the future?

It's a great place to go to get your brain thinking or just to look at some of the ways people use images from istock.<br /><br />Check out this brochure. Kathleen Cox created this tri-fold brochure from these two simple istock images. You can find many more examples in the Designer Spotlight.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-23925533981354725042007-11-12T09:13:00.001-08:002007-11-14T17:14:26.653-08:00show and tell: definitionFrom Cinderella<br /><br />A dream is a wish your heart makes<br />When you're fast asleep<br />In dreams you will lose your heartaches<br />Whatever you wish for, you keep<br /><br />Have faith in your dreams and someday<br />Your rainbows will come smiling through<br />No matter how your heart is grieving<br />If you keep on believing<br />the dream that you wish will come true<br /><br />A dream is a wish your heart makes<br />When you're feeling small<br />Alone in the night you whisper<br />Thinking no one can hear you at all<br />You wake with the morning sunlight<br />To find fortune that is smiling on you<br />Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow<br />For all you know, tomorrow<br />The dream that you wish will come true<br /><br />A dream is a wish your heart makes...<br /><br />A dream is a wish your heart makes...<br /><br />You wake with the morning sunlight<br />To find fortune that is smiling on you<br />Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow<br />For all you know, tomorrow<br />The dream that you wish will come true<br /><br />No matter how your heart is grieving<br />If you keep on believing<br />The dream that you wish will come trueHeatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-36567341235841424292007-11-09T20:58:00.001-08:002007-11-10T05:34:21.853-08:00narration can be a pain<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZvXnEVIO69ABPNBMkd6gB76VBQEBf-KIfnY9XOLReWaEY9bDIpon-O7UMLSemnS5m0qYT6r78WlqXXhxOpFUX0eQagEfvCjO8PZi4VIjnjF7_JvSlXBbtOjCqX4lW3B_nNVHDRFaZbyE/s1600-h/11589922.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZvXnEVIO69ABPNBMkd6gB76VBQEBf-KIfnY9XOLReWaEY9bDIpon-O7UMLSemnS5m0qYT6r78WlqXXhxOpFUX0eQagEfvCjO8PZi4VIjnjF7_JvSlXBbtOjCqX4lW3B_nNVHDRFaZbyE/s320/11589922.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131203793282851298" /></a><br />Awhile back I read the book 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky. After show and tell this week, I got to thinking about this book as a narrative. The story is told by a teenage boy through letters he's written to an anonymous person. I continued to think about this book as I worked on my iMovie. There are many different ways to approach narration. I'd been having trouble deciding how to narrate my iMovie - an actual narrator, just music or words on the screen. Not to mention wondering if I should use first person or third-person omniscient or even a limited third-person omniscient! Thinking about alternative narration methods helped me step back and think about an interesting way to do it.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-5520444980063311882007-11-07T18:35:00.000-08:002007-11-07T18:42:05.861-08:00wow<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOr8kIN9MSYgzWz9AXIeqKcchANRASshyphenhyphenLWP5cCgHCcJc17C2w3ZNQAd9Ng8Bc7RSzYLwfpj7JKnMCUKkh_QMmDS5M6ereqU_-F6kSS-sCUnzdISv9WU1lEJovt1kc_DCCEwL10GDELQw/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOr8kIN9MSYgzWz9AXIeqKcchANRASshyphenhyphenLWP5cCgHCcJc17C2w3ZNQAd9Ng8Bc7RSzYLwfpj7JKnMCUKkh_QMmDS5M6ereqU_-F6kSS-sCUnzdISv9WU1lEJovt1kc_DCCEwL10GDELQw/s320/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130292697575383506" /></a><br /><br />I came across Aaron Goodman's photography <a href="http://www.aarongoodmanphotography.com/">Web site</a> the other day. He is an amazing photo illustrator. His images are so compelling and thought provoking. He's very clever. I also love this site because when you drag the mouse over the gray box, he gives a briefing on the concept and shows the original sketch. I love looking at the original sketch ideas and seeing where he went with the project. It's like he just breathes life into the sketches.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-87425808195798949312007-11-07T18:32:00.000-08:002007-11-07T18:35:17.448-08:00show and tell: narrativeMy brother wrote this poem about his experience as a bull rider.<br /><br />On the Other Side of the Chutes<br /><br />It's all entertainment from seats in the stands<br />with yelling and cheering and clapping your hands<br />It's something quite different when going behind<br />Where cowboy's ropes hang from the fence in a line<br /><br />The rosin is warming the glove starts to stick<br />Your mind starts to race for the ride's coming quick<br />Put on your chaps, and hook your spurs to your boots<br />The announcer yells out, "they're all in the chutes"<br /><br />The rope is all ready so zip up your vest<br />Strap on your glove and put your grip to the test<br />Music is blaring, you don't pay attention<br />The ride which awaits is all concentration<br /><br />"This is a rank one," your friends do kindly tell<br />As the guy before you drops into the well<br />Sit upon the back and settle in your seat<br />A spur makes 'im jump so careful of your feet<br /><br />The rope is pulled tight and wrapped around your hand<br />In eight short seconds you'll find out where you stand<br />Your eyes on the spot you firmly nod your head<br />Then out through the gate the bull begins to tread<br /><br />Several jumps to the left, then back to the right<br />Trying hard to stay on you grip very tight<br />Some times you make the ride, some times you do not<br />It's all part of the dream you've lived for and fought<br /><br />At the end of the ride you dust off your chaps<br />Look out to the stands and thank 'em for the claps<br />With head high or head low you head back behind<br />Ropes no longer hang from the fence in a line<br /><br />It's back behind the chutes you start to feel pain<br />It's all well worth it whether loss or whether gain<br />You could work in an office or wear fancy suits<br />But nothing beats the other side of the chutes<br /><br />© 2007, Jeremy SigleHeatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-19540291746784823692007-11-02T21:18:00.001-07:002007-11-04T06:48:07.875-08:00find music here<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6TutrpN1MEAUT0lQJpzdWM1Nr8GFieGLKLtw6bWfjKHjeknrDHxYXyxQ4jF1JwMVGtV8HOn_zIWsC5kPBEqk-cS2oW6xirR3FHCpAPKnhLKJ2LinUkwe0ShG_s8FwPI_cqUnD0DaB_WM/s1600-h/Picture+1.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6TutrpN1MEAUT0lQJpzdWM1Nr8GFieGLKLtw6bWfjKHjeknrDHxYXyxQ4jF1JwMVGtV8HOn_zIWsC5kPBEqk-cS2oW6xirR3FHCpAPKnhLKJ2LinUkwe0ShG_s8FwPI_cqUnD0DaB_WM/s320/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128996793047885666" /></a><br />Need help finding music for your imovie?

When does it really work to used a behind the scenes photo? I think it has to be a situation that lends itself to a real featurey design. Ultimately, I decided to go with the portrait instead of the behind the scenes photo. Mostly for spatial reasons. But even if I had needed a horizontal photo, I don't think the behind the scenes would have been appropriate. Have you ever used a behind the scenes photo in a spread? What were the circumstances?Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-39741817691675348822007-10-26T20:13:00.000-07:002007-10-26T20:19:13.570-07:00your image<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSWGoMkq3MDtH4wbEZxo8GNm3deY648gN1XIoYy7MPCpFkvY-YpCcdwnfd3wZedr0ECWxxvtZwYHak5dbkIMe_KMGNelARmZAWS7CRFBuk0iAqEQGdzycFsR7UPFKzHLoxn8QbpLonZ4/s1600-h/card.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGSWGoMkq3MDtH4wbEZxo8GNm3deY648gN1XIoYy7MPCpFkvY-YpCcdwnfd3wZedr0ECWxxvtZwYHak5dbkIMe_KMGNelARmZAWS7CRFBuk0iAqEQGdzycFsR7UPFKzHLoxn8QbpLonZ4/s320/card.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125849685826512658" /></a><br /><br />I've been trying to design some new business cards for myself, but have been having trouble creating something I really want to stick with. Then I came across this article in HOW magazine. As a designer, I find it hard to settle on a design that represents me. After all, you are trying to get people to let you design something for them. If they don't like your card, it's not a good place to start. I think it's interesting to look at other designers' biz cards.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-16780830870127650962007-10-25T10:27:00.000-07:002007-10-26T20:20:04.547-07:00crit, please<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5oWbfXZhQ7cGJwfzhO7ACbKBF2hE8r6NfE2CV3KHEB-s3wuBxLx9JMII5n2DYD5xzOAhGQ9QYeV4-RkMDYzK8NMZeTqHGdsxqqc5ckY3etUEXI8A-Xe3OabQvhOn4pF67oehiv6GQwo4/s1600-h/jeans1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5oWbfXZhQ7cGJwfzhO7ACbKBF2hE8r6NfE2CV3KHEB-s3wuBxLx9JMII5n2DYD5xzOAhGQ9QYeV4-RkMDYzK8NMZeTqHGdsxqqc5ckY3etUEXI8A-Xe3OabQvhOn4pF67oehiv6GQwo4/s320/jeans1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125851034446243618" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPFHoswSX05FYnKeKlnBrJxlii44uwgDRc01LfM-XjMWAmGV1wYqGYqis3dFQpjSbAAPVh9sRuY6l9TwFjI3OfQ08IeCnFZP0EwXaRwMwwCxI0rmKNwogP6OW1OJj90uQQyB6l1mdRFQ/s1600-h/jeans2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPFHoswSX05FYnKeKlnBrJxlii44uwgDRc01LfM-XjMWAmGV1wYqGYqis3dFQpjSbAAPVh9sRuY6l9TwFjI3OfQ08IeCnFZP0EwXaRwMwwCxI0rmKNwogP6OW1OJj90uQQyB6l1mdRFQ/s320/jeans2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125851043036178226" /></a><br /><br /><br />This project has proven to be a problem project for me. I'm not entirely sure where to go with it. I'm beginning to think this is just one of those things I'm in love with, but really should just scrap.<br /><br />Last class we were told that we need to use feedback from crit as a guide to evaluate things that might need to be reworked in our projects. I felt like the crit of my jeans brochure comp was a checklist of things I needed to change. I did so, but it wasn't enough. I'd like to get some feedback and attempt to improve this brochure.<br /><br />Maybe some of you non-classmate blog readers can also lend some advice. If you're not in class, this is an accordion fold brochure on boy jeans. <br /><br />So, what do ya'll (classmates and non) think I could do to improve this brochure.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952145941102905638.post-91341425235501588292007-10-25T10:07:00.000-07:002007-10-25T12:20:32.090-07:00show and tell: typography<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHtv6VZCI9scReITT7yf_IEF45pfEdwsNrgsflPIWSJw4ukeI-E4G11X88RGfFSNVnd976WS29J1-cGYB20iZTeRZEpTuzFSHIh_NCJGVMlfgykKLFS5PE943koSzfSJUF5TdrqXsqcok/s1600-h/AA-spoon-suitcase-lg.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHtv6VZCI9scReITT7yf_IEF45pfEdwsNrgsflPIWSJw4ukeI-E4G11X88RGfFSNVnd976WS29J1-cGYB20iZTeRZEpTuzFSHIh_NCJGVMlfgykKLFS5PE943koSzfSJUF5TdrqXsqcok/s320/AA-spoon-suitcase-lg.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125327705566127842" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Kh2PzErk3Y3zR3ORgOTi96fuUdSBWW7cBghmjydr-Dn0mXbcj2B7dk7BDfbsSNgT2nGQ-Kex5omxzdZKTegvzeBwISCaR_9-8gvRCZowyEtmYd8qdXHDSRIm_0oQH2BogYRp1mvNaYk/s1600-h/Decemberists-07-lg.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Kh2PzErk3Y3zR3ORgOTi96fuUdSBWW7cBghmjydr-Dn0mXbcj2B7dk7BDfbsSNgT2nGQ-Kex5omxzdZKTegvzeBwISCaR_9-8gvRCZowyEtmYd8qdXHDSRIm_0oQH2BogYRp1mvNaYk/s320/Decemberists-07-lg.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125327709861095154" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSwvx-RpinEbiHTFKw1SBwFOmbZwaYP06S7yGVAMnUqMlUDG-h0WLkeTVxlEPFmdYqIztM-5B9G2t4DTzgMrvSc9MzQf00V7uUwUUNvyQfURCmhI7gaZz_3TBJRx9WK9fNvTPEC8KCaRQ/s1600-h/viciousvicous_lg.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSwvx-RpinEbiHTFKw1SBwFOmbZwaYP06S7yGVAMnUqMlUDG-h0WLkeTVxlEPFmdYqIztM-5B9G2t4DTzgMrvSc9MzQf00V7uUwUUNvyQfURCmhI7gaZz_3TBJRx9WK9fNvTPEC8KCaRQ/s320/viciousvicous_lg.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125327714156062466" /></a><br /><br />Band posters are a great place to look for typography. They're innovative, making them a great place to get inspiration. The typography always works so well with the illustrations and usually the type of music. Typography is utilized to help create an overall perception of the band.

The ice cream looks too much like paste. Ewwwwww. <br /><br />The top photo is the one I originally used. Do you think the bottom photo is better? I think seeing the ice cream cone in her hand dispels any hope of a paste-eating child.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820626402246939435noreply@blogger.com4
