Graphic Design Annual 2010 at Stonehill College

This year marked the second, Graphic Design Annual, art show at Stonehill College. This annual exhibit gives Stonehill's Graphic Design students the opportunity to display the artwork they have created throughout the year. Visitors to the gallery got to view logos, posters, illustrations, publications, motion graphics, and package design pieces. One of the show's unique attractions was the "poster wall", which displayed all of the posters InHouse Design (Stonehill's student run, graphic design studio) created for clients this year. The wall was covered head-to-toe with posters without showing a spec of wall.

While the focus of the show was to display senior work, there was a good deal of underclassman contributions as well. Featured seniors this year were Kathleen Atkins, Sam Dircks, John Hanawalt, Alex Jarvis, Sharon McElroy, John McGowan, Marie Provencher, Jill Rosado, Jesse Scalise, and Kelsey Simonds.

The show has been extended! So it will still be up for another day or two, so if you'd like to check it out please visit Stonehill College's Cushing-Martin Gallery between the hours of 8am - 8pm.

RECAP: Providence Children's Film Festival

On Friday I ventured to Rhode Island to see "Sarah's Story", at the RISD Museum of art, for the 1st Annual Providence Children's Film Festival. I was so excited to get to see my film on the big screen, in front of a large audience of kids. My animation was shown in an hour and a half assortment of short films. I was so impressed by the variety of all the creative films shown. A few of my favorites included a stop-motion film about an adventurous garden hose, simply titled "Hose", and a musically inspired 'cut and paste' style animation called "Electric Car". It was truly an inspiring experience, and a festival I hope to be involved with again next year.

"Sarah's Story" is currently available to watch here:
