I just want to let everyone know that I am moving my blog to Tumblr. The new address is ewddesign.tumblr.com. For all of you that get emailed updates of my blog, that will be ending as Tumblr doesnt have the feature. So make sure to follow on the tumblr side. Plenty more exciting things to come.

New York City Portfolio Review
First things first. I got new glasses. Here is a picture. Bigger thicker black frames = bigger and bigger nerd. Enough said about that.
May 2-4 I was in New York City. I was chosen to go show my stuff. My portfolio that is. I, along with 300 other students from all over the nation met at the Art Director's Club, in which creative directors and recruiters from all around popped in to chat, look at work, and trade business cards. I had a freaking blast. I got several good contacts, as well as a ton of knowledge for what I need to focus on as I finish school in the next 5 months. If you didn't see my previous posting, check out my current portfolio (which will dramatically change and get better before I graduate) at my portfolio site.
I also tossed in some pictures that I snapped with my iPhone as well.

48 hours of no sleep
This past weekend, IOPP (Institute of Packaging Professionals) held a 48 hour packaging challenge for students in the Southeast. The design heads of my school decided to make teams among all the design students and let us have at it. We had teams of 5, and were given the design brief at 7pm on Friday night. We had to have the packaging completely designed and photographed, as well as a video presentation under 2 minutes of the sales pitch. The packaging had to promote either recycling or include a secondary use of some type. We could choose from peanut butter, bottled water, cereal, or wine bottles. My team decided to take on peanut butter. Here is our presentation video as well as the final shot.

Advertising
New Nike ad for the Tiger Woods situation. Goes to show advertising doesn't always have to be funny to be rememberable. This is a recording of Woods' father speaking to him earlier in life, to give the idea of what he would say for the sex scandal. Pretty smart on Nike's part.

NYC, here I come!
Go back to the second post I made on this blog, back in 2007. I discussed the dream of being in the bright lights of NYC. Well friends, the time has come. I am heading to the big apple on May 3rd for a portfolio review at the Art Director's Club in Manhattan. This is an opportunity in which the top art schools in the nation send only 5 people from each department to go represent them. I was lucky enough to be chosen, and will be meeting potential employers from all over the states. I'm not going in the hopes to get hired, but really just for the practice of talking to people and figuring out what they want to be seeing to offer me a job. I started my 7th quarter meaning I am 6 short months away from exiting these Portfolio Center doors and starting my future. Its exiting, but scary too. We'll see very shortly if I'm where I need to be to make the cut. I'll keep you posted!
