Podcast: Rookie Designer

In my search to be more knowledgeable in the graphic design field I was looking up different podcast to help surround myself with more knowledgeable people that I could listen to as they share their finds and facts. Through my search I found a well known podcast called Rookie Designer. I love it and make sure to listen to it every day! I am way behind (on podcast 92) and am trying to get caught up (to podcast 137).

Adam Hay shares a lot of helpful and interesting tips ranging anywhere from client relations to the physical layout and design tips. Although his podcast are quiet lengthy he is not one of those people that has a really boring voice that puts you to sleep and I listen to them when walking to class and doing laundry and homework and other college like things.

I would recommend it to just about anyone, mostly designers but designer or not it has some good and interesting information. I plan on contacting Rookie Designer sometime when I get caught up and giving my own feedback but this is just me letting you know that you should check it out.

We were assigned to design and create personal business cards for my computers class with the warning that we would be using our design to help us with a similar resume in the near future. We were also encouraged to use our personal logo (from older assignment) on our card.

My first attempt at a self portrait for my drawing class. Learned a lot about the human face and shading and all that good drawing stuff. I don’t think its a good portrait of me but a decent first portrait of some random person.

And another game..

I found this game “So you think you can tell Arial from Helvetica?” My score is almost perfect except for that stupid MATTEL logo that gets me every time. So try your best and see if you can guess which is Arial and which is Helvetica.

For my computers class we had to take at least five pictures and with Photoshop combine them into a surrealist collage. Including the text there are ten images to make up this picture.
