Yesterday AIGA Jacksonville held the “2010 Always Summer Poster Show and Mix Tape” show last night. All participants were to choose a song that reminds them of summer and create a poster of their interpretation of that song. A local DJ created a “mixed tape” of all the songs that were selected. I chose my all time favorite Miami Horror song, “Sometimes”. Here it is!

I know it’s been a while but I have some exciting news to share (for me anyway haha). Recently I was invited to join this website called Pinterest which is like a virtual pinboard. It’s a site where you can post the things you love and follow collections other people have created. It’s a really fun site once you get used to it, sometimes I can’t stop myself from posting so many in a day… sorry followers haha.
Well today I was mentioned in one of Joey Marchy’s pins and it was about of a poster I did earlier this year for the Jacksonville Film Festival:

When I made this I was told that it would be reused for future events and the one he posted was a modified version for another screenwriting workshop. It’s pretty neat that they did :D
So about that character catalog I was creating… It’s actually turned into a book called “Cute and Creepy Characters” that focuses on story-telling with character designs and it contains introductions to four original stories. It’s only volume one because I plan on making more in the future. It’s still in the works but I’m very excited to complete it and show you guys!

![So we were required to design a poster for a musical artist of our choice in class a few months ago. I chose the japanese electropop group, Capsule. I absolutely love their music and their video Jumper was a big inspiration for this design. Hope you all enjoy!

![Earlier this year in design class, we were asked to make poster’s for a local event. I chose to make one for the Enzian Theatre. I sketched about 50 thumbnails but I narrowed it to 3 ideas. After much critique, this design turned out to be the favorite, so I continued to work with it in Illustrator. I tried many color combinations but this one was the most eye catching by far and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I’ve been meaning to contact them to see if they might want to use it but I haven’t exactly gotten around to it… Well, Enjoy! :]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kst5ndMThP1qanww9o1_r1_500.jpg)
