Portfolio site update

In frantic preparation for the month of April, which means time to buckle down and seriously start securing summer internships as well as prepare for the MICA career fair this Friday, I did a complete overhaul of my portfolio site. Check it out - has a good collection of my graphic design works, old and new:

(Note: let me know if it doesn't work for you, I am going under the assumption that by this day and age all computers and browsers can handle flash. It may also take a moment to load for some people.)

In other news, this 18 credit semester (with 4 studios including an animation and life drawing on top of 2 GD studios) is kicking my butt. It has hit that time of year where it's crunch time in all my classes, time to think about final projects/presentations/papers. Starting to go crazy now...*sigh* Next year I'm taking it super easy and doing 12 credits...ha.

GD4 Project - Robot Fest

Latest project for Graphic Design 4: design a poster for Robot Fest, which is coming up sometime next month and it seems to be a small convention of robot-building geeks and nerds (which sounds pretty cool actually). The teacher is collaborating with the guy from Robot Fest and there's a possibility that the client will pick one of the students' designs to really use to advertise.

So here is mine - we had to make a full package of poster/postcards/flyers/shirts (poster/shirt shown below):


Honestly, I think I like my shirt the best - I'd totally wear it. Overall feedback from the class is perhaps a different color palette (black is perhaps a bit too serious/outdated). Which is cool, I'd totally redo it with some different color variations but I don't have the time or energy to, so I won't - unless the client picks my design (which I doubt would happen). Haha.
