Portfolio Update - Glitterati Communications

Moose Hunter

Most summers I spend a week in the summer camping in the Cape Breton Highlands with my in-laws. This year was no different except for the fact that I became obsessed with capturing a clear photo of a moose. The Highlands are loaded with wildlife we don't see here in the city, so I was really trying to get my Steve Irwin on. After a night of frequent sightings but failed photo attempts with my father in law I felt discouraged. Then, a couple of days later we decided to take a drive to a near by town called Cheticamp and bam! My mother in law caught one at a distance out of the corner of her eye and it was on after that. We managed to spot two more and I got my shot as seen above. We had a great and relaxing time and I came back ready to tackle the world again.

The other great thing about being away was that I got to work on updates to the main Glitterati site! I ended up changing it quite a bit more than I initially expected to but I'm really happy with the new direction it's taking. The overall look is the same but I made the user experience a little easier and added some new sections. One of the additions I'm most happy about is a section dedicated to some of my writing. We've also added a section where you can download some of my digital art for free as iphone and computer wallpapers. Check below for a sneak peak of the writing section. I'll be debuting the new site in the next week or so so I'll keep y'all informed.
Peace!

Think Outside The Can

After obsessively watching episodes of Design For Life featuring Phillipe Starck, I was reminded of a project I did when I was in University. One of my instructors presented us with a challenge. We were asked to design and build a 3 dimensional object out of affordable, recycled materials. We then designed a poster with a brief that explained our process for building the object and how it functioned. We were graded on how well the object functioned, the materials we used and the design of the poster. I decided that I would build a tv stand for my apartment using empty cans of Pringles as my recycled material. In the end the stand functioned, I got an ok grade and I used the object as a coffee table in my apartment. A success right?
