Brainstorm

WOW. I love these. The patterns and colors... I love every single print! I want to wall paper my walls with these, or at least have one in each room on my house. Check out Brainstorm Print and Design.

Levi's

I love that Levi's isn't selling their clothing, but instead selling their lifestyle, brand, and attitude.  I love how these are done. The story telling and the moods. You wouldn't even know they were clothing commercials if they didn't tell you at the end. Mmm Love them.

Bird People

So in one day alone I watched 2 commercials with bird people in them. It's kind of freaking me out, but kind of awesome as well. Check them out!







Hmmm......

Wrapping Paper Design

I stumbled upon this wrapping paper design, and since I'm practically an elf I basically freaked out. I love this idea for wrapping paper! And it is completely universal for so many holidays! The gift giver in my is screaming and full of joy right now. I couldn't find much info on it besides... Design and art direction: Fabio Milito, Francesca Guidotti. So super props to them!

drooling.....

Christmas Design

So I love Christmas. I probably could quality as an Elf. Today while shopping I stumbled upon this random soap. I don't care thats it's Egyptian Cotton scented Foaming Hand Lotion, but I do love the design on the label. I love the vectors images creating the tree. I love the colors and it's whole feel in general. I'm definitely keeping this in mind when I'm designing the family Christmas card.

Swedish Fish

I don't know how I missed these when they came out, but I absolutely LOVE them!
They speak for themselves...

Color Schemes

Weddings are typically known for their color schemes (among other things), and besides the cake, it's one of my favorite parts of weddings. Now marriage is no where on my radar and the only reason I look at wedding blogs is to see interesting color schemes (and pretty flowers and yummy cake) that can help inspired designs! I stumbled upon one wedding site, 100LayerCake. It's really just a blog right now, apparently more is coming soon. but they provide great visuals of color schemes! I just love them.

Delicious! I love color schemes! They really are inspiring, specially if you've never thought of pairing one color with another. Wedding blogs/sites usually have some amazing print work featured on them too. People have gotten really creative with their invitations, place markers, and favors. Check out 100LayerCake and get inspired!

Fage - Personal Work

For one of my classes this semester my partner and I had to do a campaign for Fage Greek Yogurt. This is what we did. We created on site ads for inside a shopping cart of basket, a sticker to put on foods that can be paired with Fage, and a grocery divider for the check out line. The we went to a store and broke the rules by taking pictures. luckily they didn't catch us until we had finished! Huzzah! But they were nice and didn't hold it against us.  This is our final product...

Apparently some people loved it, and some people hated it. Any feedback is welcome to help a student better her work!

Check out Fage! It's delicious! I had never heard of it before we had this assignment and now I eat it often!

Kicking this off!

Finally I've put this thing together the way I want, and now I'm reading to dive head-first into the blogosphere. I'll start this off with a bit of a bio. Hi, I'm Lynna. I'm a 21 year old senior at Virginia Commonwealth University. I'm studying creative advertising and I love every bit of it, even if it makes me want to run and scream through the streets of Richmond and push kids off their fixed gears. As for future plans, ask me in a few months ... I have too many ideas for plans, but nothing pinned down as of yet (or anytime soon).

I'm hoping to make this blog a collection of things that I encounter on the interwebs and real life (what? they aren't the same thing?). Design, pop culture, pretty little things, anything that inspire me. Get ready!
