Degree Presentations


Hello Friends,

Is there anyone who would be willing to trade presentation days with me and go this wednesday? The mass tech people are expecting a lot from Meg and me on tuesday, and I won't have much time to work on my thesis before wednesday. 

I know it is a lot to ask, but if anyone would be willing that would be so very very excellent.

I thank you in advance, and let me know

52 fonts you (I) could use instead of Helvetica

Saw this on Twitter. Particularly fitting for me.

For You Lost Fans







These don't make much sense to me, seeing as how I don't watch Lost, but these retro ads are pretty sweet.

Vampires = Awful

Senior Thesis Space

Greetings all.
I talked with Doubleday and just wanted to let everyone know that the approximate space we will have in the Sherman Gallery is about 5.2 x 7.6 ft. If you have any more questions about it contact Doubleday because not everyone is going to have the same height apparently.

Help a Buddy Out?

If any of you have a couple minutes, could you sit down and fill out this form for my project? I've decided to collect as many responses to my question as possible and use that as kind of an underlying structure for my book. It would be much appreciated. Feel free to write one sentence. Or one page. Or more. It's up to you.

The Form!

Vielen dank.

Lots of design links

I've compiled my design-related bookmarks onto a page on my website. Some of these will overlap with your own collections.


Enjoy!

ARTAIC Mosaics




Hey Guys...I'm sending out this post on the behalf of Jane, Michael, myself, and the rest of the ARTAIC team.

As we announced to you guys in class today, ARTAIC is looking for artwork by artists and designers (much like yourselves) to make up their new "Artist's Line" of custom Mosaics.

If anyone wants to check out their website and some more examples of what they do, hit up:

Everyone is welcome to submit any images they may have to us.  We would be happy to accept any appropriate and marketable designs, whether they be observational, abstract, or pattern based.

Accepted artists would get their own profile page in the catalog that will include a short "about the artist" statement and the mosaic piece(s), and monetary compensation if the design is purchased by a client.

This is an excellent opportunity to add a very unique project to your portfolio, and it pretty easy to do, just send us a .jpeg or .png (we can take pretty much any file format if necessary) of some artwork and we can do the rest.

If you are interested please talk to Jane, Michael, or myself via email @ deal@bu.edu.
(and of course you can talk to us in person, this blog, or facebook)
Once again the website is ARTAIC.com for some more examples

Thanks and take it easy
