Gettin’ inspired, Thrifting

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

While doing some design work today, I took a break and headed out to the library to get some books to look through for inspiration.

I got two graphic design books, one gorgeous photography book..plus a book about thrifting.
Coincidently, I went thrifting after that. If you don’t know me very well, let me just tell you that it’s one of my favorite things to do. I adore looking through various old things…things you wouldn’t normally find…and the thrill of not knowing what exactly you might find. I get super inspired looking at so many unique things…I rush on my way home because I feel a burst of creativity.

I had good luck with finding awesome art this week..huzzah! I was instantly attracted to that framed “Resistance” art and I had to have it. There’s a name of an organization in Vermont on the bottom of the artwork..i’m going to look it up later today. Another thing I love about thrifting is not knowing/finding out where something came from. I’m really curious. That’s a leopard print sweater that’s brand new. I’m going to wear it to work tomorrow.

a movie about my life

Monday, April 27th, 2009

one of three posters i made for a photography assignment–the goal of this one was to create a movie poster about our life using our photographs. I used a photo of my shoe stepping on some leaves, taken in a park.

So basically i came up with a whole story attached to the poster…(the initial idea came from my boyfriend, so much credit to him!)
So as you might be able to tell from the cover, the movie would of course be an indie movie. It would star a girl named Autumn…who is not looking forward to the fall season and school starting again. She loves the warm months and hates the colder ones. She is a talented photographer and artist and feels as if no one gives her enough credit, she feels ignored and not recognized for her talents. She is different than most of her friends and is not quite sure where she fits into this crazy world. Her friends and people around her don’t understand her art and ends up being betrayed by a lot of friends. Her whole life is crumbling around her….people who she thought she knew changing, her lack of inspiration…then something drastic happens to change her luck around.

maybe in the future ill write out a movie script for it just for kicks….hehe
