Brisk Fall Fun

So I spent my Saturday afternoon out at Powell Gardens, which seemed like I had not visited for years. I went to see the bug exhibit since it was the last weekend, but ended up being completely captivated by the Tractor show they were having instead. Here are a tiny few of the photos I took, I may post some more later on. It was amazing to wander through all these things, and know that even though they may not look brand new they work just as well! There were some other interesting motorized contraptions along with the tractors, like a steam powered wood cutter, well pumps, and an ice cream maker. I wish it had been a two day show, my camera battery pooped out after only snapping 189 photos.

2 Weeks Left

That is two weeks until College starts up once again. I have somewhere around 40 hours left to go until I am finished. Contrary to what they all advise, I hope it goes by fast!
I didn't take too many pictures while in Saint Louis with Stephen, mostly because it was ridiculously hot outside, which drains pretty much all motivation. This was my second visit to the Arch, but I still have not gotten to go up in it yet. We also visited the History Museum which had a exhibit of Vatican "treasures" that was more strange than anything. It is interesting how I evaluate art based on what I know, and how people like Stephen judge it based on historical value/content.

The image is a section of the Arch, that goes up & up!

Something..anything!

As much as I really love that cupcake, I feel the need to have something different to stare at when I randomly visit this site. I'm hoping to have some new and exciting images after this weekend. Hopefully also there will be no camera loss involved this time around!

Another semester has ended today! I now officially get to return to the work all day long routine I'm pretty happy with my grade on my final poster: 94%. That doesn't leave much to complain about in a good graphic design class. I made sure to get my poster back even though she really wanted to keep it. I think I'm going to hang it up at work for awhile before I hide it away in my portfolio.
In other news, I'm trying to convince myself to go downtown to see the Rodrigo Y Gabriella concert next week. The only problem is that the venue is The Uptown, at night, and I am no fan of being in that part of town after dark.

Font Study Final

Ok, so I totally wimped out and went with a safer design, but still managed to use a pretty magnetic color. So fine a color in fact the large format printer at school turned it into a pale yellow, and left a nice smudgy black streak down the middle of the poster. This can not be had for a final project, so I ended up having it printed at Kinkos so it could proudly tout it's Orange goodness smudge free. Pricey for the sake of having some quality so if you feel like purchasing a super limited edition poster just shoot me an email. =)

Trade Gothic is the name of the font family used on this poster design. Definitely a beautiful font to have if you can afford it!

I still enjoy mud puddles.

Font Study #2

I should be studying for a test, but this is much more fun. A scribbletastic Myriad Pro Font study.
