AIGA holds its' annual Design Show in which very talented designers and firms submit very beautiful printed pieces such as posters. packaging, books, among branding and website design. I decided to give it a go and submit by Gothic Novel book covers. To my happy surprise I was one of the winners!

My very talented classmate and friend, Jackie, also won for her awesome Burly Bread packaging!

Ikea

My office/sewing room is once again in disrepair and in some bad need of pretty storage. So where does one find cheap yet stylish options? Ikea of course! I ended up buying two candy-apple red Helmer drawer carts. Two episodes of Glee later one of them was done.

While in the store I also took a gander at all the beautifully designed objects.

Book Jackets

My pride and joy. I redid my book covers over winter break and couldn't be happier with how they turned out.  I created collages from old medical textbooks that depict the main character of each story.
