I can hardly believe that tomorrow is my last day of going to class....(ever). I am actually going to try and not think about it, and just write this post as if it is any other week. And man, have those weeks been busy! At least this time around I have gotten some sleep, so my sentences should be more comprehensible than last week. What song has been stuck in my head recently? This one.
Oh, AND to celebrate the last day of school at Mizzou...how about some black and gold.
And finally, there is a movie (Postgrad) coming out that could be me in 2 months. yikes. Check it out!
What have I been working on the past week? STORAGE STORAGE STORAGE! We had our Meredith presentations yesterday (which, I will talk about later). But, all of my design power has been going into the Storage website. I was in charge of designing all the content for the Digital, Living, and Working sections of the site. My biggest challenge was the technology barrier and just flat out having to learn as I went along. I am very pleased with how everything turned out though and it is such a weight off to have it completed! Check out the site!
Here are some of my final designs for www.bhgstor.com
Last week I also laid out the art and lyrics for my brother's album, "I Am a Fool." Interested? click here! (album cover art by Dan Solberg). Yeah, keeping it in the fam....

RESPONSE (Meredith Presentations)
Can I just say, "Phew!" I feel like the entire semester has been building up to Tuesday's presentations and it is such a huge item to check off of my list! The whole day was a pretty incredible experience. My group, Storage, was able to start the day off at 9am as the first to present. Getting to this day has been at times pretty rough. But, I always knew we would be able to pull it off. I think that everyone did a wonderful job presenting our material in an organized and entertaining fashion. We got some great feedback from the Meredith reps as well! I wouldn't be surprised if I see the words, "Fix my mess" on their site in the future (they loved our community page). It was nerve-racking in the beginning because we had so many technical difficulties and had to switch rooms, projectors, etc. But, THANKFULLY, the alumni center pulled through for us. By the way, I also thought it was really cool to be able to present in the alumni center and have lunch there. It was such a professional atmosphere and a very nice place to house the presentations!
I was able to sit in on the presentations for "Spoon" and "Country Home" as well. I thought that all of the groups presented slightly differently, but all effectively. To the groups the brought food or drinks - props to you. That was a great idea and a great addition to your presentations. Especially for the food-oriented projects; what better way to interact with the audience!

If you had a T-Shirt with your name on it, what type of design would be used to represent your work? Professor Paul Nini used the site, "Skreened," to sell 24 of his designs which represent different artists. The artists that he chose are supposed to represent the top graphic designers of the 20th Century. Not all of these designers are necessarily famous, but all are influential.
For example....
What a cool idea! I wish our design class would have come up with something like this for t-shirts. I think we all have unique styles that could be fun to try and encapsulate into one shirt.
Well, that's that. :)
Tomorrow is going to be a packed "senior" day that I am very excited about. I still have around 30 emails that I need to answer to....which is a step up from what I had at the beginning of the day --------> (oh, yeah that says 66 messages...wonderful)
Here's two last pieces of "End Art."
The first is just funny and slightly embarrassing, but it is my wristband from the pub crawl (which, the money raised went to support a charitable function through LCMS)
and finally,
"Journeys end. Friends depart. Every phase of life comes to an end. But every end is also a new beginning. It is a new chapter waiting to open. It's up to you what you want to think about! The end or the new beginning"

Not going to lie.....I am probably going to dwell on the end of this chapter, seeing as though I will be living in Columbia and applying for jobs, but I suppose I will only be looking for the new beginning as well (while lying by the pool, of course) ;)
Have a great day!

Thanks for mentioning the album...although the link to the website doesn't work. Oh well. I'll make sure to bring a copy to your graduation...then you can finally see your work in person. Good luck with your finals.
