Spring is here

 

 

Last night we had a thunderstorm.
Today is warm.
The sun slips in and out from behind the clouds.
The photos are from our small pond.
These photos have not been retouched at all.
But I am sure they will be ;-)
I'm pretty good with Adobe Photo shop.
I have resolved to become an expert with Adobe Illustrator.

Welcome to Mytown217

Yesterday I attended a portfolio boot camp.

My book was reviewed by three different professional graphic designers.

It was a good experience. I'm not sure I learned anything that I didn't already suspect, but it is good to have an idea of where I stand with people that matter. My images are top notch, but I need to work on typography and integrating the type with the image for a complete design. I need lots more practice.

I'm going to start doing spec graphic design work. College projects are cool, but I need some "real" projects.

I plan to post photos of dulcimers that I have built. Building dulcimers is another good creative release that I can turn to when I need a change. I plan to post some art here as well. This blog will be my brainstorming mixing bowl.
