hey septa, whatcha been up to?

The last three months of my SEPTA trans pass. Septa probably makes a decent amount of money printing these, yet the trains are still late, dirty and broken. hmmmmm.....Joe Casey....hmmmm....

Philly

Here is some recent work for the Osiris group. This project was great. I learned about places and activities in Philly I have yet to do or visit, and it also involved some illustration. These are displayed in the Independence Center on Market St. for incoming groups and tourists. Basically some incentive to help boost the economy in Philadelphia.

Print Liberation

Just purchased this shirt for my brother. Thought it was hilarious. The Print Liberation shop is pretty great. I don't know about the hipsters at the register, but the t-shirts are hilarious. Be sure to check it out when you visit the Piazza!

Learning Wordpress! Yiiiiikes!

I'm attempting to learn Wordpress and my brain hurts.

After

Here is the updated resume. Still professional, with more style. Doesn't break too many rules. Will most likely stand out in a pile of other resumes. Added a business card as well. If only I could convince her to let me design a web-site where she can share with the world her experiences as a professional interpreter. If you agree, be sure to e-mail her!

Make-over

Here is an original resume created by my good friend Jess Munn. She is a freelance American Sign Language interpreter (impressive!). As you can see, it's very professional and created within the standard Microsoft Word template. I'm not trying to hate on Word, just trying to show the positive effects a designer can have on your life. Stay tuned.

Shipping these out to Karen and Andy tomorrow!

The Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation (GPTMC) launched its new marketing campaing. I loves it.

My completed silkscreen project! Dental Hygiene at its brightest everyone! You might think, ..hmm, why a toothbrush Kate? Well, let me tell you friend. Dentistry holds a special place in my heart....no not really, it just happened to be some artwork I had sitting around. And as for why i made this in the first place, well, that's what artists do, we're weird. As you will notice in my previous post, i started out with a digital file and created separations then stencils. I was a little disappointed the art-center where my class was held does not have the equipment to produce films/screens, BUT they did help me learn the basic concepts of screen printing, so I guess theys is all right. Enjoy!

Citi Prepaid moves to CS4

We have officially transitioned to Adobe Creative Suite 4. A little late, I know, but exciting none the less. I installed the software to my computer last week, and this morning was getting to know the new features. I must admit its pretty different and slightly intimidating, but so was CS3.

Some of the new features are a little over the top. There was a big jump from CS2 into CS3. Some major improvements were made: InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator were all more compatible, the software was easier to use and easier to learn, overall more user-friendly. Now, I think it is a little harder to use because everything is so flashy, and alot of the tools and actions I've come to know and love are gone.

While looking for an *awesome* graphic to show with this post, I came across some interesting plugs on the Adobe website. Some students from the Savannah College of Art & Design talk about their interactive work.

Go Welsh: Site Re-Design

Our friends at Go Welsh! have posted a new and improved website. It is clean and simple, showcases some of their great work, and of course Craig has to mention allll the awards they win. I'm very impressed with the Armstrong spots.
