About Me

My photo
I am a fast-paced, small town girl from the “snack food capital of the world,” in York County, Pennsylvania. I am currently studying Graphic Design at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and will be graduating in May 2011. Becoming an artist has always been an aspiration for me, and I am consistently inspired by the love of my family and the hard work of those around me. My interest in graphic design was motivated by my father’s involvement, though now that interest has bloomed into a wonderful love. After graduation I hope to begin my career with a bridal magazine so that I can use my talents to express the beauty of fashion, ornament, and sentiment.

Antique materials

Over the past few weeks, I gathered more materials for the publication. I found an antique jewelry box in Hampden that with a few tweaks, will be perfect for my vision.


I also went antique shopping for 3 full days, and found these four pins. The pins will be included with the DIY headpiece, but I also decided to pull the patterning and shapes from the pins to use as the main graphic elements throughout the publication. I also got some 1/2" satin ribbon, 3 yards of tulle, and some beautifully detailed white lace. 


Here are the vector graphics I drew from the pins. I also included some color palettes that I am thinking of using that were pulled from my inspiration imagery.
