Spring Recap?

.....I know, it's been that long.

I stayed up at school for the short spring term and I had a great time. I kept working and took two classes: Packaging Design, and Accounting. While accounting wasn't my favorite I learned a lot about business, and I thought my instructor (Norm, for any of you who know who I'm talking about) was pretty funny. And though my packaging design class was six hours long, two times a week (yes, 6!), I learned a lot struggling through getting things right, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed my classmates and my instructor. Adrian Pulfer shared numerous stories about his experiences as a designer, and taught us some important lessons.

This is a sample of what I created. I redesigned the labels for a company called DHC skin care. Here are 5 products with a new (and hopefully better) design.

Also, what was cool was that we had a guest critique from designer Brett Traylor. He came all the way from New York to spend the day critiquing and telling us a little about himself and the company, Thinkso. Later that month, we discovered a post was made about his trip to Provo, UT. Here is a picture of the class we took which is posted on the site. It was pretty neat.


I also had a chance to hike up to the 'Y' on the mountain with my dear friend and roommate, Lauren. It was sort of a last hurrah before the semester ended, and I had yet to go so I finally got a chance. It was great.

It was so bright as the sun reflected off the white-washed cement.

And here we are, looking over Provo and Utah Lake. The phone didn't suffice that day.
