i have redone my resume a few weeks back. this is what is looks like at a glance. it took a whole day to have it the way i want. i feel like i organized the info well. i'm happy with it.

looking at this picture makes me miss warm weather so much more...

[and if you're ever in dallas... visit their zoo. it's really nice]

tastes nasty

... but it helps

but i think this stuff gave me weird dreams last night. i dreamt there were such a thing as human bees, like vampires, but not bats, bees. idk...

also, i did about 7 loads of laundry in the past two days. i feel like i have a whole new wardrobe again :)

[i have too many clothes. but why do i still have mornings where i feel like i have nothing to wear?... but i'm convinced all women have this problem too lol]

nonetheless... i love being a woman :)

(oh the randomness)

thankfulness etc

i'm thankful for so much. i feel like i've been truly blessed in so many ways. i feel like i never have the right to complain about anything. i mean i've had tough times. it's been hard year, but i can't complain. there are so many good things in my life.

and so, to my God, all my family, friends and loved ones... i'm thankful for you :)

also, for everyone who has prayed and is still praying for my cousin, thank you for your support. he is still not found, but i do believe in miracles... and i'm still praying he is alive.

anyway, to everyone out there-

pogo (real name nick bertke) has created awesome mixes, most of them from disney movie classics. he used to work for disney and showtime. his mixes has caused him some legal controversy, but he is fighting to keep his music alive.

here are three of my favorites... but make sure you check out the rest on his youtube page.

veliquified revamped

***[EDIT]- SO THE GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT I HAVE BEEN GETTING FROM PEOPLE IS THAT THE OLDER LOGO IS BETTER. so between now and within the next week or so, i want to rework the older logo to still look less like kelloggs but still very similar in its organic quality and feel. and so for now the older logo will be back up.***


so i took some time out to revamp the veliquified logo. someone told me once the other looked very similar to the kellogg's logo, but i planned to eventually work on it again anyway because i wasn't completely satisfied with it. i'm happier with new veliquified logo, i don't know if i'm totally sold yet, and i'll probably come back to it and re-work it again... but for now... i like it :)

the old ones:

i used this one for blogspot

this one was used here

this is the kellogg's logo so you can see the similarity between them

and the new one:

Rights of Memory: 9/11 and the "Ground-Zero Mosque" is taking place this monday, 4 sessions, 10-5:30. take part in it... it should be very interesting.

for details click here - this is the website, which a few other classmates and i designed. the programming was done by a former rutgers design student, satyawan, whose website is holding the conference page.

project 1 for motion design... i'm happy with it :)

rights of memory: 9/11 and the "ground-zero mosque"

these are a 3 poster series that barbara borges and i collaborated on for a conference that is coming up in a little over a week. the senior graphic design class at rutgers is helping organize a public dialogue that will talk about this current "ground-zero mosque" issue. we are doing the advertising for it, website, t-shirts, brochures, and all modes of creative communication to help promote the conference and get people to think about important questions.

more info to follow with this in the very near future... but for now, here are the posters:
