THIS!
Look at this AMAZING work from my equally amazing teaching assistant Zerbetron. I seriously can’t even deal with how much I’m going to miss her when she moves on to teach the VERY lucky students at VCU next semester. Baltimorons, GO SEE HER THESIS SHOW.

These are the images that’ll be printed at 20 x 30 for my thesis exhibition next week. For the finals, I tweaked the colors so there is less of a magenta cast. Looking forward to installing these tomorrow.

Description: products to help you sleep and dream :) this cutetastic group of overachievers did some AMAZING packaging design did they not? They have three ridiculously incredible efforts:
- Vinyl Graphic Dream Catchers for dorms etc. Vinyl cut vector greatness. And she said she could never learn illustrator…
- SHEEEEEEEP. Cuddly, cute, well crafted (yep he effin MADE those sheep) — numbered, b/c of you know, counting sheep. I am drawing an invisible heart in the air right now. Also, check that packaging. I mean, window film? Get out of here with that.
- 3) Dream Tea. Different flavors for different dreams. I know what my dream is… boxes of tea with cloud closures. Amirite ladies? AND they served the class delicious tea. Come on. Give it up.
All that and a group in perfect harmony. Collaboration synergy hands UNITE!

Curse my shitty photo skills. Seriously, this stuff was super gorge. My lack of white balance foresight doesn’t do this work justice.

Concept: Jewelry design fundraising group created to support 10,000 homes. All jewelry is handmade with designs created in Adobe Illustrator. Some designs were laser cut or etched into wood and others were printed onto shrinky dink paper. Stay tuned for opportunities to purchase this beautiful work in support of 10,000 homes.
Here’s an example of an interactive, supplemental lecture that lends itself well to OUTSIDE of class digestion. I made this in keynote and then saved it as a pdf. the cool thing about that is, when you put a hyperlink (http://…) in your presentation and save it, or export it, as a pdf, it becomes “clickable” in a pdf reader.
This is a really easy way to make interactive reading tools. And it’s not really any more work than you’ve probably already done preparing your slides.
To reiterate, a bonus of delivering some material out of class, is that it frees up time IN class for more in person appropriate antics. That plus you’re feeding the minds of a generation of students who are wired for distraction. Everyone wins.
Synergy Hands.
As promised, here is a pdf of the presentation i gave at the 1/14/11 faculty meeting. Please feel free to use however you like— its open source/creative commons etc. Share on!
