  • Golden Ticket

    One of the other auction items for the Spotlight on Art Auction is the Carpool Golden Ticket. For this particular item, I was only given “generic” ideas for a graphic to use: a simple “sign” with the words, “Carpool Queen” or “Carpool Boss.” So I decided to use an image of a golden ticket. I Read more

  • Fact Checking

    “I didn’t realize you’re a designer.” Someone recently said this to me after seeing some of my work, and I was flattered because I have a lot of respect for her work in this industry. She is also not a colleague I currently work with on a daily basis, but it took her less than Read more

  • Laughs, Lessons, & Kudos

    I certainly haven’t held back this past week regarding last week’s weather fiasco in Atlanta, but as promised, this post is dedicated to some of the more light-hearted aspects. Wednesday, January 29 was pretty memorable in a couple of ways: Somewhere around 9:30 AM that morning, my mom conceded. She admitted that this fiasco was Read more

  • My 7 Irritations that Didn’t Melt With the Ice

    I’ve been asked about a follow-up blog post, so here it is! I’ve had seven days to think about this, and unfortunately, I have too much to say to fit in one post (shocking). The good news is that the post to follow this one will be much more positive and should surely provide some Read more

  • 100th Day of School

    It’s the 100th day of school! I got to use the black background with bold colors today that I decided not use yesterday! Read more

  • Color Caution

    I recently changed the cover photo on Trinity’s Facebook page when we announced the public phase of our Capital Campaign, but I decided to use another one for the month of February in observation of Black History Month. As I was designing it today, I really wanted to stick with the color scheme of this Read more

  • Northerners, Please Shut Up

    Photo Credit: wsbtv.com I’m annoyed every time this happens (exhibit A), but today, after spending almost four hours in my car during a commute that should have taken me 25 minutes, from a place that I wanted to be closed in the first place, skidding four times on patches of ice, and nearly suffering from Read more

  • Because of You

    This project is actually from September. It was shown at the 2013 Gates Leadership Society Reception, but I waited to post it, because the department also decided to use it as the holiday video. Although I’m now using Final Cut Pro X for all of my editing, this project was my first time using nesting Read more

  • The Best Coffee

    I couldn’t resist sharing this. It really should be my profile photo, cover photo, résumé cover, etc. A friend from high school posted this on Facebook a couple of days ago, and it’s impossible to tell you how hard I laughed. How could I not have written this myself? Read more

  • First Cut…in Final Cut

    I just took the leap! My intention was to start small and edit smaller projects in Final Cut Pro X, until I started feeling more comfortable to make the switch and start using it consistently. But the rendering on this year’s Fifth Grade production of “The Nutcracker” was driving me crazy and I simply didn’t Read more
