Blog Design

Tiphoni

Blogs are such a great and powerful tool in the world today. It gives you the ability to show the world who you are, what you do and that you have something worth people’s attention. Blogs are also great website subsitutes for those who want to self-maintain but have little or no computer knowledge. And in some respects they can be ever better because they more current and dynamic then websites tend to be. In this workshop we will be creating a blog from start to finish starting with designing and creating handmade art for our blog template, setting it up with Blogger and going over good blog practices. Don’t worry if you deem yourself a computer illiterate, this is the class for you!

Supply List:

• Laptop
• Digital Camera or Camera Phone (this is highly recommended but if you dont have access to one you can share with me)
  
  

  Optional:

• Favorite Art Medium: such as acrylic, watercolor, rubber stamps, colored pencils, collage, pens, etc. I will supply some basic materials.
• Photos for used in blog template and / or posts and bio.

A Little About ME

I am a visual thinker, conceptualist, problem-solver and story teller. I have a passion for experiencing and studying the visual world for its lustrous color, its incredible shapes / spacial relationships, and its ability to form our thoughts, emotions and experiences as we go through life. Currently I’ve felt a strong pull towards interactive art and have been currently working on ways I can create my illustrative work but in a 3-dimensional environment so the viewer isn’t simply reading my story but experiencing it by full immersion.

I graduated from RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration, June 2007. I have also been the the web-designer of Artfest, artFIBERfest the Journalfest sites.
