Finished WWF Annual Report Design. [It is an interactive piece created for a project for my Typography 4 class]
1st page is the Homepage. World Wild Life text and the silhouetted animals zoom in when rolled over.
2nd page the images fade in “Message from the CFO” slides in from the left. The arrows bring down more of the text.
3rd page jus had fade in images and the “Who we are” slides in from the right.
4th page “What we do” slides in from the left and the arrows scrolls through more text.
5th page. When rolling over the two graphs it shows the percentages. “Financials” slides in from the left.
6th page “Leadership” slides in from the left. Arrows scroll through the images of the team.
I wanted to keep the grid look through out each page.

New phone has been acquired =3
I just bought the new Samsung Galaxy S4 that came out with my upgrade eligibility. I have to say its really awesome! I have been playing with it for 2 hours now setting everything up I wanted. I love the speed, the quality of the camera, video, the internal space is larger than most android phones [I will eventually get a bigger micro sd card to attach to it.] if your looking into getting a new phone I highly recommend the S4!

Technology Craze
Not only am I obsessed with design and anime but I’m also obsessed with technology! New stuff amazes me, I feel like a little kid in a toy store again when I get excited about new awesome stuff coming out. For example, I can get a upgrade on my phone [HTC Evo Shift] now which currently has had a broken screen since October and so I’m going tonight to the store and buy the new Samsung Galaxy 4. I have read up on it and I really like the design, how it works, and its features. I was going to go with the Iphone5 at first but I changed my mind. I have nothing against apple I just hate that their stuff is overpriced. I like that they have more internal memory but some new android phones are coming out with more memory too and plus android phones at least have the option to add even more space with micro sd cards. The iphone doesn’t. If they change that in the future with their phones I might get one in the future but for now I’m sticking with android system phones.

Wacom Cintiq 13hd set up now!
So I have been playing with my new tablet now since I went and bought an adapter tonight so I can use it and I’m in love! Its so much better than the 12wx! the screen is much brighter! Its lighter, slim, less cords, and awesome resolution and pen pressure! I have no gripes at all about it. Its fantastic! The best friend a Illustrator, Graphic Designer, or Photographer can have.

WACOM CINTIQ 13HD ACQUIRED FINALLY!!!!!!!! So excited to finally have one in my hands! but sadly I can’t use it yet because I still need to buy adapters since my laptop nor my desktop has hdmi outputs.
I took pictures while I was unboxing the tablet and I was really impressed with the smaller box it came in compared to the 12wx and the rest of the packaging design where everything is.

Interactive Annual Report Concepts that I was working on. We were to chose a profit or non-profit organization to redesign their annual report and turn it into an interactive piece with InDesign.
I’m going more with the grid structure I came up with for the homepage. For animation to the homepage I want the silhouetted animals to appear when someone rolls over them and zoom in and then out when releasing the roll over. Not sure if that’s possible yet InDesign but I’ll find out. Tutorials will help if I can find specifically what I’m looking for.

I will be receiving my Wacom Cintiq 13hd tomorrow!
I was tired of waiting for B&H to get them in stock to ship so I found that newegg.com had them in stock again so I ordered it from them and canceled my pre-order through B&H. Even though it was more I paid to have it shipped the next day!!! so I’m excited! I won’t be able to use it yet though because I need to buy an adapter for it but I’ll be glad to finally have it in my hands!

Only 1 week of the Spring 2013 semester
Yep just as the title says! ONLY 1 WEEK LEFT! then finals week. So far I know I have to attend finals week for 4 classes I believe. Which isn’t so bad. Other than that I’m still waiting for my new drawing tablet I pre-ordered. I’m getting really impatient about not having it yet! I’ve been wanting to draw again so bad. I know I can draw in a sketchbook but its just not the same. I’m so used to digital now that drawing in a sketchbook seems to be difficult for me.
I’m getting so anxious to Graduate! just 1 summer semester, Fall, and Spring 2014 left!! then its off to trying to find a job again to start my career. So exciting!
