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.

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

Files and business cards

I have also been learning the importance of importing photographs and how much of a pain it is when files are not properly inserted into documents. Most every project that was passed on needed to logos replaced. This made simple projects like already designed business cards a somewhat difficult task. The files were all transported via cds and the logos were separate from the other files.




I have also learned that Apple D is my favorite quick command in InDesign.  Not remembering this caused many problems early on.
