Well it’s been awhile,
I’m still adjusting to years of hard core work and being busy most of the time. Now I find that I am still busy but in a different way. The job market is bad and I am one of the many looking for that entry level position. They KEY to this is to not lose hope and to keep trying your best; because in my opinion if you keep trying then you never really fail.
I recently remembered a little gadget that was mentioned on NPR a while back. I personally have never dropped my phone in any type of liquid…however I do know a number of people who have met this terrible fate! I found out the cheapest way is to put your gadget (usually cellphones lol) into a bowl of uncooked rice and leave it over night. There is however another option…
It’s called Bheestie! It essentially does what the bag of rice does, it pulls out the moisture from the gadget. The Bheestie bag is reusable and the company claims that it can last up to a year.
The Bheestie Bag is $20 bucks + shipping and handling. Although a bit pricey right now it’s a nice alternative to save your beloved gadgets.

Well,
I’ve finally done it…I have an expensive piece of paper saying I’m educated! So with that I’m currently looking for a job, so I’ve got time once again to pursue this thing called Blogging :D
Box.net is this great little thing to make sharing files that much easier. I discovered this through working with Rick Valicenti and John Pobojewski of Thirst (one of the many useful tricks and wonderful things learned from them) while taking a class or rather collaborating with them.
I first really started using this while doing some volunteer work for Stage Coach Theater of DeKalb, IL. This was an easy way to get files to multiple people and especially the print department they were working with. I found that I had a hard time figuring out just exactly what the printers needed for what project. So the solution was to package a variety of files into a shared source that would suit everyone’s needs. It worked very well. Needless to say I did figure out what type of files the printers needed, but I continued to use box as a resource.
Give it a go!

Hi!
Welcome to my very first post. For my first post I’m going to talk about test prints!!!! Well my definition of a test print is the practice of getting the right print. Being a student of graphic design I do a lot of test prints! I print to look at color, texture, scaling, folding, experimentation of overlapping colors, certain papers, and the list could go on. A friend from school told me a while back about this great site called Aesthetic Apparatus. AND I LOVE their test prints.
Test prints are a beautiful mistake, a normally discarded useless piece of paper that has out lived its life in test printing. Yet, every so often (maybe more than you think) these wonderful accidents become a beautiful work of art. It’s great how visually appealing to the eye it is, and how the elements seem to be strategically placed by a cunning eye to convey some profound (or not) meaning to the viewer. These prints are once of a kind with a bit of worn character; although a bit pricey definitely worth every penny if you have some to spare! Check them out!
