College portfolio



Resolution

So I have decided for the rest of January to make something each day. I want to be totally caught up and ahead of everything so there is no stress while I am in school. All the exchanges I host and participate in, birthday cards for friends, and even cards for clients to say Thank You!!

Artfully yours,
Tisha

Happy 2011 Everyone!!

This is going to be such an exciting year!! I am really looking forward to new projects and meeting new people. As most people know I have been attending college going into my 3rd semester now. Academy of Art University which is the number 1 Art school in the country. Boy can you tell. They pile the work on you!! But I feel really blessed to have the knowledge they provide. It is amazing. I took a Calligraphy class with the master Ann Miller and I learned 8 new hands including a few Gothic and Black letter. I never really liked black letter but I fell in LOVE with Bastard hand. That is the hand I used to do my Halloween envelopes.

I am learning more about how to design. Less is better in more cases than not. Which is weird for me because I always thought MORE THE BETTER. But I am understanding the beauty of a bold statement without all the "extras" involved. (although there are still those occasions when over the top is called for :) So to everyone have a wonderful new year and I look forward to working with you and your families!!

Smile,
Tisha
