Verry In-Progress Website

Here is the beginning of the online store for the WOW gift shop and gallery.  It has quite a bit farther to go.  I am gathering information for this project and will be photographing more images soon.

Logo Design

Old Logo
Here are some of the beginnings of a logo/redesign for Empower Wyoming.  I will have more for this project next semester.  I was able to try the technique that Bill Garner taught us with this.  That is where much of the imagery came from.  I am not sure that I am too happy with them so far.
I started off trying to represent a female form and mountains in the top two.


Here are some possible business card layouts.
I feel like I am struggling with this one....but it is in progress.

Mid - Intership Reflection

What have you learned from this internship?
I have learned a lot about business. I have learned more about working with clients as well. My internship has encouraged me to enter work in the gallery. This has been a good experience to learn about pricing and selling work. I have sold more work in the current show than ever before.
I have also learned a bunch about InDesign and actually had a chance to use the program. I am also learning iMovie (and iPhoto).
I am currently working on an annual report. Annual reports are something that I was not familiar with in the past.
What do you still want to learn?
I would really like to lead a workshop. I am thinking either something to do with art journaling or paper bead making. In the past I have given art/graphic design lessons to people and would like to continue developing skills to better give lessons.
What is your favorite aspect of your internship?
My favorite aspect is that I get to do a combination of art and design. I love designing logos and working with business people but I do not want to give up my artsy, less corporate side as well.
What is your least favorite aspect of your internship?
Joomla. The program seems like it has great potential; however, it is extremely frustrating. I think that we are not using the full potential. I don’t really understand the program that well and it is not intuitive.
