New blog in my endless blog list
My good friend Kelsey from my study abroad program in Florence has just started in the Peace Corps. She just arrived in Bulgaria and recently sent out a link to her blog so she can keep people posted on her time there. Since I am constantly looking for new blogs to follow, this is a wonderful addition.
Civil War Pictures
Someone sent me this site of actual pictures taken from the civil war. Pretty incredible. Makes me want to use them in a project. Check it out here
Sketches for fragrance bottle
I'm coming up on the final stages of sketches for my fragrance bottle. Here's the basic idea of what I want it to look like. One image has tentative color, parts may be gold while the sphere on top I want to be dark green colored glass. We're contacting vendors this week as well as crafting 3d versions of our bottles with clay

The Feltron Report
In my Message and Content class we are creating a map of some type of information. This can be personal or not, but it has to be a visual representation of data. Our instructor showed us this site and I couldn't resist sharing.
Basically, this guy named Nicholas Felton collects information about his daily life and experiences and creates one giant annual report at the conclusion of each year to map the resulting data. He has his friends and acquaintances fill out questionnaires after each form of contact with him. The concept seems somewhat strange but the ending result is a beautiful collection of maps and information graphics that he calls the Feltron Report
here is his explaination for his 2009 report:
Each day in 2009, I asked every person with whom I had a meaningful encounter to submit a record of this meeting through an online survey. These reports form the heart of the 2009 Annual Report. From parents to old friends, to people I met for the first time, to my dentist… any time I felt that someone had discerned enough of my personality and activities, they were given a card with a URL and unique number to record their experience.
I kept track only of who I gave survey invitations to, the number of the card and where it was given. The surveys answers were submitted via text forms, allowing the respondee to write whatever they desired, and leaving the task of making comparisons between the data up to me. I have used only this information to create the report, however accurate it may be. I have strived to sort and collate the data in a clinical and repeatable manner that could be reproduced by someone looking for the same stories I have selected.
The data set itself was messy and overwhelming, and filled with enough information for several more reports. There are inherent shortcomings (like the unrepresentative amount of water recorded), and endearing strong suits (like the exploration of mood). I used several tools to make this task a more manageable, including Processing, which allowed me to map and explore alternate layouts much more quickly than previously, and Amazon's Mechanical Turk.

Annual Reports
In my annual reports class, we were each given 3 companies to choose from and from that we have to design the company's entire annual report for the year. This includes the 'story/concept' in the front of the book as well as the financials at the end. We have to come up with a concept that would convince investors/shareholders to want to continue to invest in the company. For my 3 choices I was given a restaurant company, a water energy company, and a firearms company. Needless to say, I chose the firearms company. It is also not lost on me that I am from Texas and therefore choosing a firearms company for my annual report is somewhat of a stereotype. Oh well, I am excited.
The company is called Sturm, Ruger and Co. and they sell Ruger firearms. The company has been successful since its start back in 1949 in Connecticut. Luckily it isn't too hard to convince investors since the company has seen only growth and progress during recent years. I have been doing a lot of research on guns and the firearms industry in general and it seems to be thriving across the board.
At first I was a little lost on where to go with the concept but I think I have it almost nailed down. For the class we are each paired up with a photographer from school and they are helping us shoot all the imagery for the reports. It will be really amazing at the end to have a complete report with all new design and photography. Anyways, we went up to the firearms store on peachtree on monday afternoon to talk to the employees to hopefully get some leads on a concept. I really wanted to talk to people who actually own Ruger guns and they sell that brand at the store. Anyways, long story short, the son of the owner of the store was there and he turned out to be an incredible help. He got out his phone and started giving us the names of long-time customers that he thought would talk to us.
Basically I want to talk to people about their experience shooting guns and the reasons they own guns as well as interesting stories and encounters they have had. I also want to shoot portraits of each of the people to include in the report. The end result will be a series of short slice-of-life stories that will give an up close look at the real gun owners of today. And best of all, these people are not the run-of-the-mill gun owner types that you'd expect. We got the names of people all across the board that you would never expect to have guns stowed in their homes. One such person happens to be Miss Georgia Teen and her mom who both own Ruger guns. They have agreed to talk to us in their home on Monday afternoon.
Anyways, I will keep posting about the progress of this project but as of now everything seems to be falling into place. I have several meetings set up for this week and I am continuing to line more up for the future. Also, a group of students from school have been going to a skeet shooting range here in Atlanta and I might tag along with them this week to hopefully take pictures and meet some more people. Now all that's left is collecting these stories and tying them all together to create one cohesive report. It will be a challenge but I can't wait! stay tuned
The Southern Invasion of NYC
Found this article while researching for my annual report. I don't think I mentioned, but the company I am designing my annual report for is Sturm, Ruger and Co. which is a producer and seller of firearms. Hence, why I was reading Garden and Gun magazine online. Thought this article was interesting. Would love to move to NYC when I am finished at PC!

The Southern Invasion of NYC
Southern culture is hot in the Big Apple. Here's how and where to find it
Famous Southern story: In the spring of 1963, a young Mississippian named Willie Morris hops a Greyhound bus bound for New York City. In short order, he goes on to become the youngest editor in chief ever to preside over Harper’s magazine, a star of Manhattan’s literary scene, and close personal friends with the likes of William Styron and Frank Sinatra. But for all his success, and much as he loves New York, Morris never feels comfortable in the place he refers to as the “Big Cave.” He longs for his hometown of Yazoo City and the “lush hills” of his boyhood. Describing this internal struggle in his best-selling 1967 memoir, North Toward Home, he says, “The massive office buildings where people worked, the jostling for position in the elevators…, the windows opening out onto other office buildings equally massive and impersonal—all this was part of a way of living unknown to me, uprooted from the earth and its sources.”
Poor Willie. If only he’d moved to New York City a few decades later, he would have felt much more at home.
Our Kind of Town
Southerners have been moving to Manhattan—and then pining for their childhood towns—for as long as they’ve had the means to travel north. James Buchanan Duke expanded his tobacco business from North Carolina to Manhattan in 1884 and became the toast of the town. More recently, Newsweek editor in chief and Pulitzer Prize–winning author Jon Meacham (Tennessee), fashion pioneer Geoffrey Beene (Louisiana), and interior designer Charlotte Moss (Virginia) have all made their names—and their homes—in New York City. The list of successes is long, and it inspires even more of us. My own journey to the Big Apple involved a fourteen-hour road trip from my hometown, Camden, South Carolina, to a tiny first-floor apartment in SoHo. My dad drove me up, unpacked my meager belongings, took me to dinner, and left—all in the same day. He figured I’d be starved for Southern culture, but in no time I’d made a network of friends from across the SEC and found a few great soul food restaurants.

In the last few years, the influx of Southerners has reached a tipping point, and what was once a fringe migration has blossomed into a full-fledged cultural movement. “In the same way that there are more Jews in New York than any other place except Israel, there are now more Southerners in New York than anywhere except the South,” jokes restaurateur (and St. Louis native) Danny Meyer, whose pioneering ventures—Gramercy Tavern, Big Apple Barbecue Block Party, Union Square Café—made farm-fresh ingredients cool again. “You can feel the influence of that across every category of life.”

Live Music
The last couple of weeks I have been to an abundance of live shows. This is somewhat rare since up until this point during the time I have been in Atlanta I think I have only been to one show, which was Coldplay last summer. It's not that I don't want to go to concerts it just never seems to fit in my schedule or work out.
Anyways, in the past month I have seen Yeasayer at the Masquerade, Owl City at the Tabernacle, Phoenix at the Tabernacle, Ben Harper at Verizon up in Alpharetta, Eli Young Band at a corny country bar called Cowboys in Kennesaw and Zac Brown Band back up in Alpharetta.
Yeasayer at Masquerade
Phoenix Show at the Tabernacle
Owl City at the Tabernacle
Guster (who started for Ben Harper)
Eli Young Band
Me, Emily and Kevin with the Eli Young Band
I'd have to say my favorite show was Phoenix. We bought our tickets way back in January so there was a lot of anticipation and expectations surrounding the show. The Tabernacle is an incredible venue and any show would be fun there. No assigned seats and a small venue makes for an amazing experience. It's an old church that was converted into a concert space. Phoenix puts on a pretty fantastic show; I saw them in October at ACL in front of thousands of people and seeing them closer up was pretty awesome. There have also been rumors that they could be back for ACL 2010, so I might possibly be able to see them a 3rd time. Fingers crossed! The lineup comes out on Tuesday!
I have to mention that Eli Young Band was pretty fun as well. I went with two of my friends who also went to University of Texas and the show was held at this super cheesy country western bar called Cowboys. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect: big wooden dance floor, smoky air, a big disco ball, hilarious people watching. Anyways, Eli Young Band is pretty huge back in Texas but they aren't as well known here in Georgia. Luckily that meant that the show was for a relatively small audience and we got to watch almost immediately in front of the stage. There was 1 row of people between us and the band. They put on a great performance and afterwards we went and talked to the band, comparing Texas stories and such. haha since they are from Texas as well. They were super nice and even agreed to take a few pictures with us. Needless to say, Emily and I were pretty star-struck, even if unnecessarily. haha
Vacation plans
Every summer since I was a baby, my parents and I have gone to the Alabama/Florida coast for a week for vacation. More specifically we have gone to the Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan area which is in Alabama right near the Alabama/Florida border. We used to stay in different condos but as I've gotten older we've started renting houses and bringing our dog Ollie with us.
However, this summer may entail a slight change in plans. Since I have 2 weeks break in the summer my parents planned our week vacation to be the first week of my break which is mid June. But, unfortunately, the horrible oil spill near Louisiana has created an obstacle in our beach plans. Our week at the beach is set for about a month away and status in the gulf is still so vague and unknown. Because Fort Morgan is in a pretty bad location in regards to the spill, my mom has decided to move our destination 200 miles further east from Ft. Morgan.
Soooo, this year we are going to a different place than the place we have been going for about the last 20 summers of my life! Should be an interesting change. I'm completely heartsick over all of the potential damage and ramifications that could be caused by this spill. That area of the country has always been so important to me since i've been going there for so long. I'm crossing my fingers that some kind of solution is discovered soon. I don't want to see all of those gorgeous beaches ruined.
Anyways, instead of Fort Morgan we are now going to St. Joe Beach, Florida. It is a couple hours further drive for my parents coming from Texas, but the house we got is directly on the water and looks gorgeous:

First week of my break I'll be flying down to meet my parents in Pensacola and then driving the rest of the way to the house with them. I'll be there the entire week and then back to Atlanta for a few days.
July 1 I will be heading to NYC! A friend of mine from back when I worked at Camp Olympia, Emily, is going with me to NYC to visit one of our other camp friends who is living and going to grad school in the city. We are spending 4 nights with her including July 4th so I am pretty excited. I haven't been to NYC since I was in college and back then when I went it was super cold so I can't wait to be there during the summer season.
Blogging slacker
Gosh, I just looked at this and realized I haven't made a post since January. Which is pretty horrible since I've had a lot going on and wish I had been keeping track of everything I'm working on. The last post was written at the beginning of my 5th quarter and I am now just over halfway through my 6th.
Last quarter was a pretty crazy ride. Design History continued to wreck my brain throughout the entire 11 weeks until the day of my critique. Designing that chair was pretty consuming, considering i rewrote my concept about a million times. I designed 3 wine bottles that ended up being made in NYC and sent to me before my critique. My book projects for design history and type 4 ended up turning out just how i liked them. And I almost went crazy building a teeny tiny model of my retail space for retail branding. Once I get some of my work shot I'll be sure to post pictures on here.
I've been contemplating moving my blog over to Tumblr. Seems like a pretty smooth and easy interface and I could make posts easily from my iPhone. A lot of people I know have been making the leap so we'll see if I can figure out how to transfer all of my old posts.
anyways, this quarter I am in 5 classes. Message and Content, Event Branding, Bookmaking, Annual Reports and Fragrance Branding.
In Message and Content we are creating a guerilla marketing campaign, a map or infographic about something in our lives and a triptic poster series based on something from an issue of Good magazine. This is the 4th class I have taken with the instructor of this class so I am pretty used to her teaching style. Right now I am just trying to figure out and nail down my concepts and executions. For my mapping project I am considering doing a map of all of my jewelry so we'll see how that pans out.
Event Branding is a class taught by one of the designers from AIGA. He usually teaches environmental design but he is taking a quarter off to do the branding for Design Week which will be in October. All of the design discipline associations in Atlanta are coming together to create a week of design-centered activities for members of the different associations so they can get to know each other and hopefully collaborate in the future. Our class is doing all the branding for the event: logos, colors, website, templates etc etc
Bookmaking is basically just a workshop but we spend wednesday afternoons learning different bookmaking techniques. Although tedious crafting skills are always quite frustrating to me (i.e. ENFP personality type haha) I actually really enjoy it. So far we've made 3 different types and we're starting on a third. only bummer is that someone at school threw away pieces we'd made for our books and left underneath bricks downstairs.
Annual Reports is another class I am taking with Hank who taught Design History. We're designing an entire annual report for a company we were assigned. I'm pretty excited about this project and probably will dedicate an entire post to the project soon
Fragrance Branding! In fragrance branding we are creating our own unique fragrance brand and scent and designing everything for it: Bottle, packaging, ads, logo etc etc. This class is on Friday mornings and considering the subject matter is an all girls class. It's a lot of fun to design something 3-dimensional and to see all of the creative concepts everyone has come up with. hopefully all of us will have our actual bottles produced by the end of the quarter
anyways, that's it for classes. We're in the swing of things and everything is starting to come together so should be a successful quarter. can't believe I'm getting so close to the end!

Welcome to 5th Quarter
So I've been slacking pretty bad on updating the blog. Most of my previous posts have been videos i have found that I quickly post. Over my break, I tried to give myself a pretty sufficient break from computers, so I didn't make any posts. However, now that I am currently in the throws of the 3rd week of my 5th quarter, I don't see many frequent posts in the future. But, I am really excited about my new classes, even though I probably won't see the inkling of a social life or the light of day in the coming weeks.
Most of my classes this quarter require a lot of personal stories and input in order to create the concepts for our projects. For example, in my Type 4 class, we are creating a book that weaves 3 pieces of text along with images to create a narrative on an assigned sense. The majority of the text comes from the book A Natural History of the Senses by Diane Ackerman. My assigned sense is sight. Anyways, one of the 3 texts included in our book has to be personally written by us and composed of thoughts we have made about our sense in a 'sense' journal that we are keeping this quarter.
Another class I am taking this quarter is the infamous 'Chair Class' of Portfolio Center, taught by none other than the president of the school, Hank Richardson. The class is about design history but our biggest deliverable of the quarter will be a chair that we design and actually have produced. The concept of the chair must be based on an assigned design style era as well as a personal story of our own. I feel like I can't do a description of this class justice so I am going to include an article written on the class:

It's 5:30 a.m. and already the big table downstairs at PC is littered with wadded up napkins, Styrofoam coffee cups, and Krispy Kreme donut crumbs. Oh, and stacks and stacks of books—everything from modernism to McLuhan. Sitting around--and on--the table, eight or nine students with wicked cases of bed head discuss the periods that shaped the shifting currents and concepts of our modern world--weighty subject matter that sometimes even leads to a debate in these wee hours (Okay, it might actually lead to a full-blown argument; they're still a little cranky).
This is Hank Richardson's History of Design, a rite of passage at Portfolio Center, a trial by fire concocted by a man who believes sleep is for babies, the infirm, and old folks. These classes often last until well after noon. Sometimes they're held on Sundays. Such conditions—even these minor upsets to the students' sense of order--make for conflict, and Hank knows that conflict gives birth to creativity. He aims to put these guys and gals off balance, test their sense of reality, and, at the end of the day, change their reality altogether.
This is how he primes them to use the lessons design history provides. Hank likes to quote the late designer Dan Friedman, "It is important to find comfort in the past only so long as it might expand insight into the future," a viewpoint that jibes with Hank's own conviction that neophyte designers should explore the relationship of design history and design criticism primarily as a catalyst for new ideas.
Students learn that each overlapping period, or 'graphic style', is in essence a narrative, a story of history, representing a specific characteristic of attitudes and taste. These periods exemplify a 'philosophy of lives' occurring during a time of a disorderly, often tumultuous twentieth century. Portfolio Center students come to understand that the modern student's reinterpretation must reaffirm the truth that design is culture.
The deliverable products in this class are beside the point, though exquisite chairs are most often the end result. Because Hank knows that a true work of art comes from the exploration of—again—conflict, he urges students to discover that conflict within their own personal, powerful stories, which means that the work is distinctive, driven by their unique experiences, and expressed in each one's particular voice.
A former student of Portfolio Center, Dave Werner, has a video about his chair on his website. First of all, his web site is incredible and everyone should check it out here
Here is his video about his chair:

Wolff Olins
Today, a former PC student and current employee of Wolff Olins, Todd Simmons, spoke at school during our weekly seminar. The branding firm, based in NYC, London and Dubai has a pretty impressive list of clients. The work shown today was really incredible and it was interesting to hear about the firm's personal strategies and approaches to branding and design. Some of their clients include :
(RED)
Adidas
Mercedes
Starbucks
Sunglass Hut
Target
Unicef
Wa Mu
Sony Ericsson
and tons more
check out their site here
(from their website:)
Wolff Olins is a brand business. From London, New York and Dubai, we work strategically with ambitious organizations around the world. We help them not to predict the future, but to invent it. Not to make small improvements, but fundamental change. We help them to focus, to grow, to perform better, and to connect with customers.
To take three examples, we helped GE become customer-centric. We helped Tate to change the way people see art. And we helped Tata to become a world brand.
We’re 140 people, ambitious for clients, and optimistic for the world.
It wasnt long before Todd broached the topic of the 2012 London Olympic Games logo, which has received a plethora of media coverage, mostly from people who strongly dislike the logo. The logo was created by the London office of Wolf Olins, and some of the feedback from the public is quite hilarious. Todd showed one video of Jon Stewart's reaction on The Daily Show:
| The Daily Show With Jon Stewart | Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c | |||
| London Logo | ||||
| ||||
Pretty entertaining. I've been looking up other blogs/articles written on the logo and its an interesting read to say the least. Todd explained that they wanted a logo that didn't specifically speak to the city of London, but their strategy apparently backfired. On the bright-side, even though the publicity was negative, it was publicity nonetheless.
