Fall Colors

I love patterns! This fall wreath pattern evolved from drawing a few leaves in Illustrator, which led to a desire to learn how to use a gradient and figuring out how the rotation would affect the final wreath. The paper distressing layers were added in Photoshop. I am going for a warm and crisp look. In autumn it's funny that the temperature gets cooler as the colors get warmer!

Art of Digital Design Exam - Passed!

Scrape me off the sky! I am so excited. I just took the Art of Digital Design Exam and I passed (nicely). It was excellent to review all the previous classes from JessicaSprague.com. There are so many helpful tips and tricks in those classes. Well off to pick up my son from school. Thanks for stopping by.

Absolutely Awesome!

The Art of Digital Design, My Practical Exam and Application:

I absolutely loved this incredible course. I am one of the lucky people to take "The Art of Digital Design" taught by Jessica Sprague and Carina Gardner. Every molecule in my creative soul is thrilled that I did this. It was like food for a starving person.

Part of the challenge for this practical part of our exam is that we were only allowed to choose three papers and three elements for our mini-kit. Here is my submission.

My fellow designers in our class were wonderful, supportive and just plain classy. They have really inspired me!

I am adding everyone from class to my blogroll. If I missed you let me know!

My former blog was "The Finer Things." Thanks for stopping by!
