Talk Editorial to Me...

Who knew? I have a new-found passion for editorial design. For this assignment, we were given body copy and three grid options: 2-column, 3-column, and experimental. These are my solutions! Click "Read More" to see my other two designs!

Jeedy: Despite My Falls Video

Video for Jeedy's song, "Despite My Falls." Shot and edited by yours truly using my Canon Rebel T2i - check it out here! Stay tuned for the next video at the end of the month - we're cookin' somethin' crazy over here! 

Jeedy: Bonfire Video

Edited this video for Jeedy a little while back. Working on another now! Video really is something else, I just wanna do it all the time! Watch the video here - and don't forget to like him on Facebook and follow him on Twitter!

Shoot Manual

This post has a few tips and tricks for beginners shooting in manual mode. I was also pretty amused by the above Canon ad that was featured at the bottom of the post. So so true. Anyway, here's the link!

Oh, PS...

...I already have a new website - still a work in progress. Design ADD at it again. We'll see how long this one lasts before I decide I can make something better. In the meantime, check it out: daniellebushrow.com

The Help My Cover Letters Needed

If you're anything like me, applying to internships and scared to death of cover letters, this article might help you as much as it helped me! Thanks, Smashing Magazine! Check it out >>

Strivers Achieve.

Fantasizing about dreamy summer internships and a lifetime of doing what I love's got me feeling extra motivated. I made this the other day just for kicks - the stock photo of the city was just begging for some complementary colors and words in the sky!

I Finally Have a Website!

Woohoo! I finally got around to designing and coding a simple portfolio site for myself! It's still got a couple kinks, but it's out there! Check it out here! :)

We All Go Through This

I found this on Pintrest, and, with school getting tough, it couldn't have had better timing. I think this is inspiring not only to designers, but anyone with a passion. You've just gotta fight your way through.

Think Green

I just finished these posters for a class project where we had to represent a group's view on an issue. I decided to go with the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws, and to make my posters appeal to the people who would normal turn their heads the second they see a poster for legalization. To appeal to this audience, I tried to take a more logical - rather than whimsical and "trippy" - approach.

Curiosity Killed the Snowman

A short 3D animation I made in Maya. Disclaimer: It doesn't make any sense. Also, thanks Blogger for completely killing the quality. -___-

The Black Sheep

I made this flyer for The Black Sheep Launch Party. Even though it never got used, I thought I'd share it. :) Click "Read More" to see some of my other ideas that I never actually followed through with.

Music is What Life Sounds Like

According to Billy Joel, music is "an explosive expression of humanity." I wanted to illustrate that idea in this six-month calendar. My goal was to represent a wide range of musical styles in a fairly cohesive and consistent graphic style to un-categorize each style of music and portray music as a whole.

Pencil Tip Micro-Sculpting

Patience is a virtue...that I do not possess. I guess Dalton Ghetti got my serving. It's the only explanation I can think of for my inability to catch a fish, and Dalton's unbelievable micro-sculpting in the tips of pencil lead. Plenty of artists use pencils to make art, but I've never seen anyone do it like this. Hit the jump to see more examples of his work. 

Only in a Jeep

I'm one of those people that loves my car so much I believe it has feelings, a face, a voice... a smile, even! This is a stop motion film of a day in the life of me and my baby.

The Life of a Pelican

I don't know if I would like my life to be only sitting on posts all day, searching the ocean for fish. But then again, maybe I would, if I didn't know anything else. Is that a hard life or an easy life?

Who's Got the Crossbones?

Pencil drawing done from life (irony intended..teehee) on 24"x36" paper. 

Hanging by a Moment

I just discovered this photographer, Martin Stranka, and am in love. The photos are of people suspended in the air, or frozen in some decisive moment. They are almost surreal. I'm obsessed. I don't know how else to describe it. 

It's About the Music

I designed this t-shirt for Charlottesville's 106.1 The Corner radio station. One of their slogans is "It's about the music." I got in the top five in the contest, but didn't get enough votes to win the iPad. Oh shwell. (The pink dotted line isn't part of my design, it was just the area I had to work in.)

Lips so Luscious

...the way I spice it up with the Mac, Mac brushes. I took this on black and white film in my 35mm camera, rolled the film in the black bag, developed the film, and printed this image in a darkroom. I used a transparency with text on it to print the lyrics (Lil Mama's "Lip Gloss") on the image. I colored in the lips with colored pencil afterward. Shout-out to Ashley Hutchins for being a hot model!
