It’s time to get messy.

I spy a fizzling out of perfect, curated content and foresee a change of bringing back imperfection, nostalgia, and overall humanity in many aspects of the word.

I was recently standing in line at my local Subway when I noticed that the menus have changed. The first thing that caught my eye was the substitution of their past white background for a new dark grey and a green. It immediately reminded me of a blackboard/chalkboard and brought me back to learning in elementary school. I continued to scan the menu and…

This one is another project from one of my classes at the Art Institute. We were told to come up with a theme for a 3-book series and develop a concept to design the front and back covers. We had to make sure they were recognizable as coming from the same trilogy. I came up with books titled: Reproducing Perceptions.

Fun Fact:
My technique to make the “entries” look like a young child did them was actually to use my left hand to draw and write them along with spelling mistakes. (See below)

The end of the year is without a doubt the busiest time for me. Within the last 3 months of the year I have my mom, boyfriend, and sister’s birthday; our anniversary, Halloween, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and more! These milestones leave me pre-occupied with event planning, present shopping, and all sorts of celebrations.

Now I’ve officially survived with limited money remaining in the bank, an overload of indulgences (food and gifts), and I’m ready to get back on track with my goals. I spent 2017 really panicking about what I wanted to do with my…

If I were to take you back to my decision for getting into Graphic Design it would bring me back to high school. One of the main struggles that we have at that age is figuring out what we want to do with our lives. We were so young and to make that kind of commitment felt detrimental to how successful we would become in the future.

In high school, my main interests were anything that combined creativity and computers. I filled all of my electives up with either film, animation, or digital media classes; and…

If there is anything that terrifies me that isn’t a tangible creature or object like a spider or a needle, it’s public speaking. Not even specifically public speaking, but speaking my own material in front of others. If you gave me a book that was written from someone else and you asked me to read it in front of an auditorium, no problem at all. But when it’s something coming from my own mind, such as a story I wrote, or a speech topic we had to perform in school; I would panic.

Year after year…

As yesterday was Friday the 13th and Halloween is coming up soon, I’ve been in the spirit of spookiness. One of my favourite internet trends<! — more → are the Shortest Horror Stories forums. If you’ve never heard of these before, this is an example of one of my favourites:

“I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, “Daddy check for monsters under my bed.” I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, “Daddy there’s somebody on my bed.”

For most of my life, September was the start of a new school year. A change in my classes, my day-to-day peers, and my time schedule. This year has been a little bit different. I’ve graduated from both of my programs and I’m officially no longer in post-secondary. The result of this is that I didn’t get that resurgence or change in my life cycle that I’m so used to having. Naturally, when September came around this year, I still got the longing for something new. …
