No Pants Party

Some friends and I are throwing a "no pants" party, so I made a flyer. Everyone in my class is invited! haha. This is the third one we've had, the first two were in Cabbagetown, but this one will be at my house in Little 5 -- of course the Cabbagetown girls will be helping me host this one. There will also be a live band, (to be announced). It's gonna be HUGE, so I expect all of you there, lol

PS- the "no pants" part is open for interpretation, be creative!

Blog Assign. #4 - Inspiration

While TONS of things inspire me, something I really like looking at is architecture and interior design. It truly is an ART in some cases, and it always amazes me how something something so big can look so amazing while still being functional, and I consider it reallly inspiring to me personally. If i was rich enough, making buildings like this would definitely be one of my hobbies when i was older, haha.

Blog Assign. #3 - Design Trends

I want to present one design trend in particular, that I really like. It's hard to describe, I guess 'vintage-inspired', very thin lines, lots of detail and flourishes, fancy fonts, etc. It's kinda putting a fresh spin on a vintage design. Most of these examples are packaging for bath products or candles or wedding invitations, which makes sense i guess. I love to see something that's obviously imspired by something old, but has a fresh new look.

Self Portrait DPS drafts

This is one of my self portrait project ideas. Still playing with it trying to make it look cooler. I feel like im good at basic shapes but i have trouble adding details that add to the design, without going overboard. Because of this I feel like some of my stuff still looks "unfinished".

Anyway, I thought it would be funny to use my FAVORITE blue color. And i decided to do a funny picture of me because most people I know know that I love to talk and make people laugh and I thought it would show my sense of humor. I'm having trouble incorporating the other designs, but I'm sure everyone is. I've tried some other ideas, but this is the only one i felt reallly good about.

Anyone reading this, please leave a comment/email with any critiques or suggestions!
