Spring Break Thoughts

  
Im happy right now. I can sit down and eat a meal separate from my computer.  Today I went to the Nelson with my family and checked out their new 75th Anniversary Exhibit.  I go to sleep when i'm tired.  I worked on some freelance projects this week and i enjoyed designing them. I'm happy right now. 

I had an amazing summer where i was also happy everyday.  I was in a beautiful place inside (amazing studio) and outside. ( The ocean, mountains and desert all around me.) I was refreshed and recharged to begin my Senior year at this amazing, intense, fun, and stressful school. 

But it's because of the stress and intensity of this program  i have become the designer i am today and i am thankful for it. It has given me a great sense of accomplishment over the years and im stunned with all i have achieved through all the challenges and struggles that come with putting yourself through college. 

Again, I feel refreshed and recharged to start this last leg of my college career. (!!!!!) I want to end on a high note, a note i feel like my whole education at KCAI has been and i think, with actually taking a break, i am set up to do so.

PP / Portfolio Website, Work Crops

for my portfolio website i will initially present my projects in this format, with a horizontal narrow crop. My goal is to intrigue the view to look at the individual projects, as well as create a keep their interest through how all my projects look together. This does not include all the projects that will be in my final portfolio, but it's a good sampling.
