VPA is what I do

These are the finished bottles for my project Momosa: Vitamin Mocktails for the Mom-to-be. Hopefully more work will be coming soon... :-[]

*Note the cheesy drop-water reflection a la Apple.

Cool Video



"Handcrafted with love by BYU design students and faculty, for the 5th Typophile Film Festival. A visual typographic feast about the five senses, and how they contribute to and enhance our creativity. Everything in the film is real—no CG effects!

Shot with a RED One, a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, a Canon EOS 40D, and a Nikon D80.
Stop motion created with Dragon Stop Motion."


Sam showed this video as inspiration during our AIGA meeting :-)

Halloweekend!

Halloween was on a Saturday this year, so the college festivities were many and varied this weekend!

On Friday, AIGA and IDSA hosted the MONSTER MASH on the fourth floor of the Warehouse (CoLab). At first, I was a bit nervous about the number of people who were going to turn out because we didn't sell many tickets beforehand, but we ended up making over $100 in ticket sales at the door! A group of our professors came as well and were special guest judges for the costume contest :-) My friend Casey's giant squid costume won in the "most unique" category. We also had a mummy wrapping contest and a powdered donut eating contest; it was a nice throwback to old school Halloween games.

On Saturday, I went with a bunch of Illustration kids to Casey's house in Marcellus (about 15 minutes away). Her neighborhood is REALLY into Halloween, and her mom had decorated the entire outside of their house in spiders and cobwebs. We also carved pumpkins and drank hot apple cider (so good!). Kids started trick-or-treating around 4:00pm, and by the time we left at 8:30pm over 1000 kids had passed through the neighborhood! We also watched Hocus Pocus to round out the night, and then it was back to campus for the rest of the night!
