Follow up to that gypsy book binding day post: http://jluch.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/gypsy-book-binding-day/

(Sorry for the abrupt ending, I have to edit videos on my lunch break at school because I don’t have any of the programs at home, and 1pm rolled around as I was wrapping up and another class had to use the room)

Stoked

Yeup. I’m stoked.

Why?
Well there’s nothing better than entering a contest, a photography contest to be exact, being told you’d be notified on Jan 22nd, having that date pass and thinking to yourself ‘meh, oh well’ and then getting a letter in the mail from California telling you that your photo is a finalist. It was for that ‘best of college photography annual’ thing in the school hallways. There were 13,957 photos submitted total. And it’s getting published in a big ol book!

Photo in question:

BOOYAH

French Posters!

For those of you who care about the little things in my life; I got a kick butt calendar! Yup. French Posters to be exact.

Quick Tune

Sweet video. Sweet song. Local local local.

Donati to Haiti

Check out the video I filmed and edited today as a promo for the “Donati to Haiti” fundraiser GDMA2010′s grads are putting on. 100% proceeds going to the Canadian Red Cross!!! 3 buttons for 5$.

This is my button:

Video

A little experimental video I made. For a school project, we were supposed to make booklets, I made a video instead. Not bad for my first video ever if I do say so myself.

Who would ever let me use a powertool!?

I don’t know how it happened, nor do I know why…but I’ve noticed a strange trend lately…I like making stuff with my hands. No really, I thought I was a technology junkie. I mean, I prefer pixels to paper, RGB to the great outdoors, and I would trade a pen for the pen tool any day. But I guess as a subconscious act to balance out my life, I’ve been making a lot of stuff! Let’s hear it for analog!

That being said, here’s a little something I made for GDMA in my spare time (I didn’t do the apple part, I found the metal like that). Note the sweet purple headband, yeah I made that too.

Haiti Fundraiser

I’m very proud to publicly announce that GDMA2010 has begun work on a small fundraiser for the terrible situation Haiti. We, as a class, feel very strongly that it is our responsibility, as designers, to use our skills to try and mend some of the worlds problems. Call us young and naive, but we are determined to make difference, even if it’s a small one. That’s why our class is committed to raising funds for Haiti. Today we began work on making hand crafted buttons to sell online and at the university, they go on sale February 4th. All proceeds will go directly to the Canadian Red Cross.
