Catalog Design
I work at the Endless Knot, a clothing boutique in Belltown. Everyday I see way too many awful catalog designs. Some companies just don't have the budget for hiring designers apparently. Here's a great example of how to do it right. I wish I could flip through more of these beauties...
Also, Sascha is a wonderful type designer. Check out her website.

Natural Type
Sasha Prood
I wasn't going to post about this talented girl out of jealousy, but my friend Wyatt had to go and remind me. Very lovely.
If you all remember I did a project with a similar concept. You can check it out here.

PORTFOLIO WEBSITE!
Also the show website has been launched. Visit SCCA Portfolio Show 2010 to see everyone's work in my class.
Tuesday
SCCA Porfolio Show: Episode 4!
SCCA Portfolio Show
So. This is the end. The show is tomorrow and the official website is launched tonight. Man, has it been a rough road. But we are almost there!
Not blogging for 5 days straight just goes to show how busy and stressed out I have been. My website is almost ready for public viewing (although it will never really be completed). And soon enough this blog will move to its own site. I'm a little nervous...
Well anyways, everyone has worked so hard so I am hoping everyone can show up for the show Wednesday or Thursday. There will be tons of cool stuff and lots of food! Hope to see you there!
Tips & Tricks For Designers
For class we do this thing where someone shares something useful with everyone else. Something not everyone might know. For instance we had someone come in with a bunch of delicious food items and conjure up healthy snacks for us kids who just sit in front of the screen of death all day long. Someone else shared how to create a card that slides out the bottom when you pull up the top. My friend Dane brought in a bunch of tie-dying stuff and tie-dyed some of his nicest undies.
You get the picture. So this week is my turn. I don't have anything too crazy, just some useful information and good links to share.
First is an article that the blog It's Nice That posted just recently. It consists of a list of testimonials from recently graduated student designers, what they're up to, and their portfolio site. Really, really interesting and useful. <Part 1> <Part 2>
Next is a very tiny list of blogs I frequent for good design shit:
* No Talent Cunt
* 1983 • Did you catch that?
* The Strange Attractor
And last is a very obvious one, but I figured I'd bring it up in case there is one person who doesn't know. Behance Network is really important for us to get on once we are done with school and have all our portfolio shit together. It is basically a secondary portfolio for us creatives. You can post all of your projects and get feedback and praise. Also, it's a good place to list your website and your availability status.
Well, I hope at least one of these was helpful! Good luck all graduates this year!
