Willkommen nach Deutschland

My first three days here have been a blur, more or less. But a good blur! I've made fast friends with many people in my dorm and have been exploring the city of Trier for the past couple days of beautiful weather.

I've realized that I'm very bad at updating my blog, so I plan on making shorter posts more often. I just can't sit down and do the big long posts. Sorry Mom.

Anyways, here are two photos of Trains that I took on the way to Trier.

Tschüss!

Inspiration(s)

While studying abroad in Germany, my classmates and I will have to design our own magazine. We'll be responsible for all content as well (words, pictures, etc.)

So, I've decided to compile some inspiration here. I figured it'd be good to have an at-a glance inspiration thing on here as opposed to the file of 1,500+ pictures I've pulled off of various sites and blogs.

More to come.

You know what I just bought?

These:

yes, they are TOMS shoes.

You probably are aware of TOMS by now, but if you aren't I'll explain. Basically, when you buy one pair of shoes for yourself, TOMS gives a child in, say, Africa a pair of shoes who doesn't already have an adequate pair. Pretty nice of TOMS, I'd say...

Pretty trendy of me....but eh, who cares.

Ain't it the truth...

Flashy

So our new project in GD2 is a flash click through instructional...thing. We had to choose a topic from one of the "Worst-Case Scenario Survival" guides. I chose the cute/depressing "How to survive if you have no one to kiss on new year's eve."

Here's a moodboard and "splash" page:

We'll see how this turns out...

Tell me about it...

I feel like this is pretty applicable to my status as a poor design student...
