Project #1 - Take 3

I rewrote and redesigned my Project 1 to get a better grade, so here's what I have so far. Take a look and let me know if you have any comments. Thanks!

Project #6 Inspiration

I've been looking for some design inspiration for my How-To project and decided to go with an outdoorsy theme, considering my topic is "How to Capture Sasquatch." But I thought I'd take it a step further and make the design look like a Boy Scout handbook. For inspiration, I found some ephemera (a new word I learned in class this semester) showing vintage outdoorsy and scouting details. Take a look below.

Show & Tell #10 - Unnecessary Process

My final show & tell of the semester - sad day! For this one, we had to find an example of an unnecessary process. Here's mine:

How to Eat David Sunflower Seeds Crack the shell with your teeth, eat the seed and spit the shell. Experienced seeders pop a handful of seeds in their mouth and store them in one cheek, then transfer a seed over to the other side with their tongue, crack it, then eat the seed and spit the shell.


I especially like how they include the information on how "experienced seeders" do it. That's fantastically ridiculous.

Threadless - T-Shirt Heaven

How I love Threadless, let me count the ways... Threadless isn't just an online t-shirt store, it's so much more! In addition to the fantastic t-shirt designs (which are also available on hoodies and even just as a print), Threadless also allows users to submit their own t-shirt designs. And users can also vote on which designs they think are the coolest. It's almost too good. Here are just a few of my favorite recent additions:

Undergraduate How-to

I totally forgot that I did a how-to in my undergraduate degree. I found this in one of the seventeen (give or take) flash drives that I have lying around my desk. The project was for an advanced writing class where we had to work in groups. Our group had to write a process for professors and instructors on how to use Blackboard - a technology similar to WebTycho. The final product was a small handbook for users to refer to.



Apparently, I liked to use a lot of words in titles back then too. Amy would not approve of that!

Project #5 - Insect Incinerator

So, here's what I have for my Project 5. I plan to include the Enemy Profile as a leaflet inside my package. Any questions, comments, or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Donut Seeds

Fantastic idea to repackage an existing product as a completely new product. Fun! Check it out here!
