Slaughterama 09

Today the weather was beautiful again and I could not stay inside. I decided to head down to Slaughterama for the day to relax and catch up with old friends. Best decision.

Slaughterama is a bike event held in Richmond, VA annually by group of bike kids from the city, the Cutthroats. It's a 3-day event, but the main event is held Saturday in an open pavilion on Belle Isle. There are lots of very unique individuals that attend to participate in lots of very unique events. I spent the day talking to people I haven't seen in forever and meeting new people from all over. My little adventure was definitely more motivating than anything I could have done in front of my computer.

I took a few pictures, including the one above. He's doing a back flip. Here are a few more.





trying to find photos to post made me realize that I really didn't take that many at all. sorry guys! I will find more documentation later to show you what it was really like! (EDIT: I've posted links to all the Slaughterama 6/2009 albums I can find on Flickr here!)
The photos below are from an old dam on the James River. It's blocked off, but some kids figured out a way to get around it and helped me get in. It was great. I would have taken more images, but it was creepy!-way too high up and no railing for the most part!



I thought that little guy was cute. I am sleepy!

my design work

I'd like to start posting some of my own work for critique on here. I will be graduating in May and I want my portfolio to be in tip-top shape. I'll try to post more frequently about current events, design news, and my own stuff. I want this blog to be about design, but design is really about everything!

Here is an identity system I designed for wee talk, a speech therapy center for children in Richmond, VA. Amy Carlton is the owner and worked with me through Laura Chessin at VCU. They were both amazing throughout the entire process, and very patient. Amy focuses on treating preschool-aged children with apraxia of speech (a condition in which the child intends to speak, but cannot translate conscious plans into motor plans. In other words, the child knows what they want to say, but cannot say it.) She really loves what she does and was enthusiastic about every design approach. I was incredibly luck to have such a great experience with my first real world project.

The logo and identity as seen here were inspired by the moment of clarification for the child. The moment when they are able to connect their thoughts with their actions and speak.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

howirichmond.com

Myself and a group of 6 other students started this website last semester in our design rebels class. A lot of revisions have been made since I left for break (I can't take credit for any of them, Mike Doughtery and Mark Luetke have been working really hard). It still needs a lot of work, design and content wise, so take a look and let me know what you think...design suggestions, content suggestions, anything. We have a meeting with BikeWalk VA in about an hour, we are trying to get the ball rolling an an alternative transportation alliance in Richmond.
