Abroad

How do you feel about living here for a couple weeks?

I'm sure you would say that same thing that I would, "I sure wouldn't mind." Well that is exactly what I'll be doing in only 42 days! In six weeks I will be embarking on the journey of a lifetime, when 21 students and three of my professors leave the comfort of the United Sates and head to Scotland. Throughout our 29 day stay I hope to expand myself as a graphic designer and photographer all while learning more about myself. Here, in this castle, we will be spending the majority of our time including sleeping. I can't even imagine what it will be like to live in a castle! Maybe I'll meet prince charming and he will come to rescue me from the castle. I think I should stop daydreaming and get back to reality. 

Aside from this stay, we will be spending time in Glasgow, Edinburgh, St. Andrews, the Isle of Harris and plenty more! To end the adventure we have a five day stay in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I'm so excited to experience the culture of this area, drink some scotch with the scottish, and meet more MSUM students!

Graphic Design Field Trip - Spring '10

Once again, the graphic design department held a graphic design field trip! This year we attended Franke + Fiorella, Fame, Eighthourday, Graphiculture, and Initio. Make sure to check out their websites and see some of the amazing work they do for things you might see everyday! As always, this trip is a huge inspiration and it is wonderful to meet such amazing agencies. It definitely helps us all get prepared for the workforce and makes us see what we have to look forward to! I got to have a lot of one-on-one talks with my designer classmates, teachers, and meet many new designer friends! I talked to one of my teachers about my photography and he told me to do whatever I can to promote my self right now. Whatever I do now will be helping me in the future about the knowledge of networking, advertising, and promoting whatever business I choose to work at.

Again, make sure to check out all of the agencies websites! I better be getting ready for our little BBQ tonight and working on homework. Please pray for me about the next few weeks of school. This will be a crazy few weeks that includes an annual report, 8pg term paper, flash website, multimedia projects, many film photo shoots,  dozens of hours of darkroom printing, and MUCH MUCH more. Thank you and I hope you have a beautiful next few weeks!
