Postage Stamps

I came up with a bunch of solutions to the Parsons Challenge and have narrowed them down to two. The instructions are to design a postage stamp of your favorite fruit or vegetable. I think Mangoose shows my personality the best. It's quirky and silly. Mango-go is also really fun and stands out more so I'm really torn to decide which to turn in.

Way-Way's Baby Shower Invitation and Thank You Card

Way-Way and James will be welcoming the newest addition to the Pee family in February. I got to design her baby shower invitations and thank-you cards. The invites were printed on 111# Curious Touch Soft Milk paper, which has a soft, powdery texture. Each invite was wrapped in pink tissue paper and placed in a pre-printed envelope following the same graphic theme. The thank you cards were printed on a canvas textured paper and are fold-over cards that are blank on the inside.

Brookhaven Student Art Show

It took me weeks to make this monkey, but it was a lot of fun. My teacher asked me to enter it in the student art show, so here it is! I started out with a 16 foot long 2x6 plank of wood. I gave my friend who ran out of wood about 4 feet of it, so the monkey plus the stand were made out of the remaining 12 feet. The stand is about 2 feet high and 18 inches wide. The piece is movable at the shoulders, hip, and knee. The markings were burned in and 2 colors of wood stain were used.

Kids in the Courtyard

Everyday, when I go home for lunch, I see these kids running around the courtyard. They looked so cute today and the weather was so nice that I felt compelled to take a few photos of them.
