Felicia Follum WOW Update

Image from Make it Plain, my most recent body of work

Although I do not update this blog regularly (and it was created for a class), I would like to conclude with some of what I am currently doing for WOW (a project of WWBC). For more recent updates see my art blog or Facebook page. I am no longer the graphic designer for WOW, though I still do some design work when asked.

My main projects currently include creating, building, and expanding WOW’s online presence through social media, specifically the blog and Facebook. I am always researching new social media sites as well. In addition to managing the social media, I am excited to say that I have given a couple of Facebook lessons, on how to use Facebook as a marketing tool, for artists and would love to continue this.

Another major project that I am currently working on revolves around the gallery and exhibitions. I have been hanging shows, and even coordinating a couple. I hung the Fabulous Women show (I did have some help, especially with the larger pieces) and set up the Black Friday one day show.

There are other tasks and duties that I perform, but these are a couple of my favorite. I love being surrounded by artists and artwork and I look forward to see where my experience with WOW as an intern will help take me in my art career.

Professional Development Workshops Poster

Poster for Professional Development Workshops coming up in May.

I designed this poster for the Professional Development Workshops we will be holding this summer. I searched and searched for curtains like this in Creative Commons, but couldn't find any. I finally just decided to draw them and am certainly happy I did. (The blue line should not be there, I may be retaking this photo.)

Alright, I just finished the video from the WOW Members show.

Busy Start

The first couple weeks this semester have been pretty crazy at the Wyoming Women's Business Center and the Works of Wyoming Art Gallery. I have had happy clients, new clients, upset clients, an art opening, a call for entries and I helped with a sewing workshop.

WOW Member Show

Here are some posters for the next art show.

AAH Affordable Art for the Holidays Video

Here is my slide show from the opening...



There are still a couple changes that I want to make. For example I am not sure why the last little bit, which includes the WOW logo, is cut off

Tattoo Movie

Here is the Tattoo Slide Show of the work from the show. Hanna started the show, I added the photographs that she didn't have access too.

Websites

Works of Wyoming

Here are links to the two websites that I am updating on a regular basis.  I am using Joomla to do the updates.  I have used several other WYSIWYG editors and Joomla seems like it is way over complicated at least for what we are doing on this site.  Everything that I have had to do so far, has been doable, but could have been done on a much simpler editor.

Most of this has been updating information but I redesigned the Artist's Corner site.  It was set up so that there was a list of names with links and then a collage of images with links.  I thought that it would be important to see all of the images with the names of the artist that had created the work.

End of September Update

This summer I used the Step-and-Repeat process in ID but other than that have basically forgotten how to use it. So I am relearning a bunch about how to place an image as well as editing them in PS to get them ready. It is good practice.

I think that Digital Blues will be the place to go to for the print project.

It looks like Student Art League will be having a show in April. This is really exciting as well because it will be ten times better than the Honors House Show because there will be consistent hours and it will be about a month instead of a week.

Last week I designed fliers for the Mexican Mural Show and Lecture by Stevon Lucero.

Inspiring Designers (August)

Here are a couple artists that I stumbled upon in my searching for graph inspiration.  I have found Michael's resume before but I am glad I was able to find him again, his website is pretty amazing.  I love the transitions.
