After three months (including a few weeks of rest for my poor abused wrists), I have finally finished my first knitted sweater! I decided on a boyfriend-style cardigan with pockets and seven metal buttons, which I purchased at a trim store a block from my office. It's wonderfully convenient to work in the Garment District!<br />

The Living Gallery, located at Broadway and Dodworth Street, hosts a weekly Drink and Draw where participants can sketch a live model while sipping wine. The crowd appeared to be mostly in their early twenties and had varying artistic backgrounds and skill levels.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It felt a lot like being back in art school, but without the pressure of a professor peeking over my shoulder. I was required to take three figure drawing courses in order to graduate with my Illustraton concentration, but didn't particularly look forward to them like I looked forward to my illustration, design, and photography classes. In this environment, however, I felt completely uninhibited and ready to get a little crazy (in the sense that I used several colored pencils instead of charcoal, anyway).<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The Franzia didn't hurt either. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd_yxIdAcltbJxrJCumQCGWjTj4by-jlQ7vDKv7LH9PyTKqtZ01YX1TMiijuM99xmhqykoS2302-Mracpl7RJ8jNQ5QcZizNIIqUNEqKnVHtILV7GldenU_JcVustSbl9vVOqZ_whejGew/s640/blogger-image--900765560.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd_yxIdAcltbJxrJCumQCGWjTj4by-jlQ7vDKv7LH9PyTKqtZ01YX1TMiijuM99xmhqykoS2302-Mracpl7RJ8jNQ5QcZizNIIqUNEqKnVHtILV7GldenU_JcVustSbl9vVOqZ_whejGew/s640/blogger-image--900765560.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">After about an hour, an open mic replaced the model and the staff encouraged us to keep drawing.

The first favorite place to come to mind was UConn, but trying to compress all of the aspects that I love into one drawing seemed a little daunting. Plus, a lot of what I love about UConn was emotional, tied to my friendships, communities, and love of the place itself, which would be hard to visualize.<br />
<br />
There are a bunch of other places I considered, but in the end I settled on just one of them: a place we call "The View" in my town. A short walk from the house I grew up in is a ledge, lined by a rock wall, that looks over a big valley. Down below, you can see town landmarks such as my high school, as well as surrounding towns. In the distance, on the horizon, is the New York City skyline.<br />
<br />
It's where we watched the Fourth of July Fireworks as kids. It's where some of my friends would go at night when there was nothing else to do to just sit and look at the skyline glistening in the distance. It's where I would walk my dog when I was feeling particularly thoughtful or wistful and would just look out at it and sometimes sigh.<br />
<br />
When I was younger, I looked out at that skyline and thought "There it is, the big city. One day I'll live there. One day, that'll be my life." And here I am. Craziness.<br />
<br />
I have mixed feelings about that skyline after living here for a bit. But it's all good.<br />
<br />

I'm not going to make myself do one each day, as the image suggests, but will rather keep chipping away at them until I finish them.<br />

Unfortunately, my first run taught me that I have to use big shapes and simple cuts. It's too bad, because I would love to get nice and intricate! Oh well; designers always have limitations and all you can do is embrace them!<br />

Stitches connect different materials to fix, build, or unite. Michael Rock’s essays refer to the stitching together of content and form, as well as the stitches connecting design professionals and the process of how one decides what is “good” design. The title “Interfacing” refers to this in-between space. It reflects the relationship between the designer and client, the designer and consumer or user, and the act of creating an interface. It also refers to a type of fabric that is used between two other layers of fabric to create stiffness. Rock also addresses the idea that design is a process, which I reference in this set by leaving the backs of the sheets visible.</div>Rochellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14953087085159372283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239717072275743359.post-76585112041673174042012-05-16T22:09:00.003-04:002012-05-16T23:20:16.772-04:00Designing Sound: Music Posters<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The iconic Che Guevara image appears printed internationally, on all sorts of media and objects. It has become a symbol, yet many people wear or display it without understanding its real meaning or significance. My three designs all address the image’s new meanings: one reacts to the fact that some simply see Che as an attractive and desirable man, one parodies election advertisements and material while playing on Che’s drive for change, and one comments on the fact that the image has been mass-produced with only the intent to profit.</div>

Ok, I will admit it: I was a bit late on the Pinterest bandwagon. I signed up, made my profile, and then did nothing. It was exactly what I had been looking for: a virtual inspiration board where I could easily keep my inspirations organized and easily accessible. It was perfect, yet I did nothing.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, <i>that </i>changed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm <b>addicted</b>. Not only is it the perfect place for keeping all of my inspirations in one place, it throws dozens of new inspiring images at me each day. My only complaint is that, as you scroll down, you see a continuous stream of images instead of having to click to a new page. Why is that a bad thing? I can't limit myself to "oh, just one more page and then I'll do my real work." Nope, I just keep on going! Even if I can kind of justify these extended time periods perusing others' boards with "It's research! I need to do this to grow as an illustrator and designer!" it is definitely a big time suck.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On that note, I highly recommend it. Not just for type/art/textile/etc. nerds like me, but for anyone who like to organize themselves visually. Try it out!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you're interested in seeing what I've been up, feel free to check my boards out!</div>
