My first project was inspired by a visit to my old apartment. My former roommates still live there and I saw this greeting card "clothesline" that I made a long time ago. This is a place where greeting cards and photos can be displayed for all to see rather then being tucked away in a drawer, plopped on the refrigerator or recycled. It's really cute and it updates it's self based on what mail you get. When It gets full I start replacing the old with the new.<br />
<br />
This is my refrigerator before this project:<br />

To make this Card Line all you need are some nails (and a hammer) or pushpins, some heavy floss, embroidery floss, or hemp & <a href="http://www.amazon.com/BAZIC-Mini-Natural-Clothespins-Wood/dp/B003BXE6ZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371244871&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+clothes+pins" target="_blank">mini clothes pins. </a> Find a good space on a wall and measure about 10 inches between the placement of each Card Line. I would make 2-4 lines depending on how many cards and photos you receive. Make a little pencil X on the wall to mark where the nails will go. Hammer in your nails and then tie on the string. After your lines are hung layout all the cards and photos you have on the floor to get a feel for how you want to display them. Then, attach with mini clothes pins and you are done.<br />

I recently finished this identity design for <a href="http://bananathursday.com/" target="_blank">Banana Thursday</a>. I had a lot of fun working on this project because I got to let my personal design style shine through. Banana Thursday is an electronic dance music fan group. Members dress up like bananas and rock out. I've learned that dressing in a banana suit in a large crowd makes it rather easy to find your friends. Check out their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BananaThursday" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, which I also designed.Alisha Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034035204445189163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890334299866391486.post-9166771659391108872013-01-20T12:26:00.000-08:002013-01-20T12:26:56.215-08:00Looking Forward to 2013 and a Look BackStarting off the new year right is important to me. I've read a few different people's approaches to setting goals and resolutions and I've taken advice from a few different people I admire. Step one was to look at 2012 and see what I've accomplished. I called out 4 important things i did each month.<br />
<br />
It's important to look at all you've accomplished before setting goals for the new year because it's positive reinforcement for yourself. Lets be honest, when do you really give yourself much praise? Last year my main accomplishments included starting to date my wonderful boyfriend and moving in with him, completing over 30 freelance design projects and getting a new full time job. I traveled to Crested Butte, CO, Las Vegas, NV, Tahoe, Maui, Hawaii, Santa Barbra, CA, Portland, OR, Lyndon Center, VT and Yosemite National Park. I sold my first 2 greeting cards! I learned how to wakeboard and started running.<br />

I need to cut out some of the things in my life that are taking up my time that I don't enjoy or feel obligated to do. The biggest thing in my life that I can think of is my freelance work. From this point forward I am not taking on any freelance work because it's "extra money." I don't need the money, I have a full time job. I will only take on freelance work if it will be an asset to my portfolio in my quest to become an art director. Or if I truly enjoy the work and client. Other things that take up my time that I don't like doing are laundry, fixing/setting up computers, going to the post office, writing contracts and invoicing.<br />
<br />
2012 was full of fun relationship things, it's been awesome. In 2013 I want to reintroduce more of the things I love into my life while still doing fun relationship things. I want to attend art shows and museum exhibits, I will run a half marathon in September. I also want to travel internationally this year.
<br />
<br />
My main goals for 2013 are:<br />
- Save for a downpayment on a house<br />
- Create and sell more greeting card designs<br />
- Extend my brand and work towards becoming an art director<br />
<br />
My phrase for 2013 is "Spend less, Create more."
<br />

Kuler is a great color picking tool. You can start with one color or upload a picture and pick colors out of the picture to create a palette. I did this exercise to help me pick a palette for a surface pattern design I am creating. I am mostly drawn to bright jewel tones, but I tried a few different things. I really enjoyed using Kuler the interface is very smooth and intuitive and it's free. So play away! Have you used it? Do you like it? What other tools do you use to pick colors?<br />

This was perfect timing for me as a designer because I recently started designing for mobile. You can see some of my mobile designs <a href="http://www.alishawilson.com/#/Design/Mobile/1/thumbs">here</a>. This talk was PACKED with useful info and resources and I wanted to share it with all of you out there in blogland. <br />
<br />
Speakers: John Gallant & Scott Tran <br />
<br />
What's Hot Studio working on? Here are a few of the apps that Hot Studio has worked on. Check out these apps there is some pretty solid design here. <br />

<b>Design Considerations </b><br />
Scanning Effect - Never feel lost in an app or website <br />
<br />
Hands Per Device - <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/HugoMNL/hands-per-device-hpd">http://www.slideshare.net/HugoMNL/hands-per-device-hpd</a><br />
<br />
Design for Mobile first then other platforms next. This will keep your designs simple and focused. <a href="http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?933">http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?933</a> <br />
<br />
Affordance – making sure there is enough space for the user to easily touch a button or hot spot with out accidently clicking on the wrong button. <br />
<br />
Consistent Interactions – Apple has developed a set of consistent interactions throughout mobile devices. If you are going to stray from these interactions, there should be a good reason. <br />
<br />
Content Delivery – Does my app need to be connected to the internet to work? This can interrupt user experience. Is my App gigantic due to all of the info people have to download? Will this cause users to abandon my app before it gets a chance to download? <br />
<br />
Input Types – Mobile Forms. Make sure things are clear and there is a definite order to how you interact with input types. Put input info titles inside form boxes to save space. <br />
<br />
Behaviors and Transitions – when you use your smartphone and you don’t get a typical user interaction it can be very confusing. <br />
<br />
Compatibility – Make sure you know what types of devices and platforms you will be designing for. <br />
<br />
Test and Refine – test your app or you are setting yourself up for failure. Keep your design focused and simple. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Hardware Features </b><br />
Think about all of the hardware features of your devices and how you can incorporate those features into your design. <br />
<br />
Front and Rear cameras - augmented reality, remembering, video conferencing, optical recognition, <br />
<br />
Microphone - voice recognition, siri <br />
<br />
Headphone - sound output <br />
<br />
Haptic technology - sense of touch, vibrating, <br />
<br />
Accelerometer - measuring proper acceleration <br />
<br />
Gyroscope – measuring or maintaining orientation <br />
<br />
GPS – Location based services, fencing (keeping a child or pet in bounds) <br />
<br />
NFC – near field communications, used in payment such as Google wallet <br />
<br />
Bluetooth 4 – used in payment systems <br />
<br />
<b>Gestures</b> <br />
Make sure gestures flow logically with what you are trying to design. <br />
Common gestures: Tap, double tap, tap and hold, long hold, swipe, wipe, drag, pinch open, pinch closed, multi touch (using more then 2 fingers), flick, shaking <br />
<br />
<b>Web App Vs Native Apps </b><br />
Where does your app exist?<br />
<br />
Yelp has both. One on the web, and one that is only an app. <br />
<br />
Go for simple. Web Apps typically load slower where a Native App can be faster. <br />
<br />
Advantages to doing a Mobile Web app: it’s available because all Smartphone’s have a browser, its familiar to users, updates are quicker because you do not have to go through an app store <br />
<br />
Advantages for Native Apps: Performance is better because info is not on the web, integration into the smartdevice hardware features ie: phone book, camera, see hardware features list <br />
<br />
Hybrid app: Both Web and Native use, usually you can not tell this is happening. <br />
<br />
<b>Process and Teams </b><br />
Waterfall process – User Experience, discovery sessions, project management, Engineering <br />
<br />
What’s the great idea of the app? <br />
<br />
What are the goals and needs for the app? <br />
<br />
What is the environment where the app exists? <br />
<br />
What is your device plan? What devices will you be using? <br />
<br />
Design, prototyping, <br />
<br />
Development, developers are a designer’s best friend <br />
<br />
Testing and optimization<br />

I was inspired to draw some mushrooms and turned them into a surface pattern. This is a new faster style then I usually work in. I made these mostly digitally vs some hand painting and some computer work. I have some good ideas on how to combine my paintings into this style. Anyway I'm pretty pleased with these little guys. And I'm also trying to keep a better sketch book so more work to come as always.Alisha Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034035204445189163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890334299866391486.post-82093523456234411112011-11-08T09:42:00.000-08:002011-11-08T11:03:18.967-08:0030 Day Challenge - Day 10<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I'm doing a 30 day challenge where I do a blog post each day for 30 days based on this <a href="http://alishawilsonblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/30-day-challenge.html" style="color: #bb3199; text-decoration: none;">30 Day Challenge List</a>.

I started my education in pre-school at age 4, then grade school, high school, and art college. After college I continued taking classes but only classes I really wanted to take. I've taken multiple computer program classes, typography at CCA. I'm taking a <a href="http://aigasf.org/events/2011/10/20/interactive_chats_mobile">Designing for Mobile</a> class this week. I have a list of other classes I want to take and when I have time I check them off the list. <br />
<br />
I want to take French classes and go to Paris. I want to take cooking classes, and hoop dancing class.<br />
<br />
I think it's very important to keep learning no matter what stage of life you are in. I love learning new things and surrounding my self with other people who know more then me about things I'm interested in. Learning keeps you young and can actually help fight Alzheimer's Disease.<br />
<br />
In a study presented at the American Academy of Neurology, researchers found that people who kept active physically or mentally through hobbies such as gardening, exercise, reading, painting, or playing board games were less likely to develop AD later in life than those who engaged in "passive" activities, like watching television.Alisha Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034035204445189163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890334299866391486.post-68927005456127399012011-10-06T12:58:00.000-07:002011-10-06T12:58:56.265-07:00RIP Steve Jobs1955 – 2011. <br />

I'm on a gluten free diet becasue I have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coeliac_disease">celiac disease</a>. All of this food is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten">gluten</a> free. gluten free bread, gluten free cereal. It's a challenge to eat gluten free but I've been doing it for about two years. This is why I bake gluten free goodies and write about it on my blog. I'm getting better at gluten free cooking but it was tough at first and I've made a lot of mistakes that have resulted in me getting really sick. It's pretty surprising how many different foods have wheat, barley and or rye in them. A few surprising items I have found to contain gluten are: soy sauce, fish sauce, soup base, bullion, rice crispies, cold cuts, malt balls, and malt liquor (what's the word? Thunderbird). </span>Alisha Wilsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02034035204445189163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6890334299866391486.post-12532346234248435892011-10-04T20:23:00.000-07:002011-10-04T20:23:47.583-07:00Crushing the Ninja List<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I made a <a href="http://alishawilsonblog.blogspot.com/p/ninja-list.html">Ninja List</a> to keep track of all of the wishes, goals, dreams and fun stuff I want to do in life.

I wanted to share a little trick I learned today. Blogger for some reason displays their banners really fuzzy. As a designer this has driven me crazy for a LONG time. But I've figured out how to fix it. I am now changing my blog header every season. Happy first day of Fall. Can you believe it?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdCkfW4Vf655SuhkGgOqAMIsZ6SLOTuZCZucCyG9mYJLhV2LuX15-ImyfUQBY8bldcd8qMXw1f55yNt29J0I9xfT8_bPw5_h9B8U-oiC65fltYLcSyDdoVPx-8iTdf0Og4aedevuxrNUc/s1600/Picture+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdCkfW4Vf655SuhkGgOqAMIsZ6SLOTuZCZucCyG9mYJLhV2LuX15-ImyfUQBY8bldcd8qMXw1f55yNt29J0I9xfT8_bPw5_h9B8U-oiC65fltYLcSyDdoVPx-8iTdf0Og4aedevuxrNUc/s400/Picture+3.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Upload your photo/header to <a href="http://photobucket.com/">Photobucket</a><a href="http://photobucket.com/">.</a> If you don't have an account, set up one it's totally free. You need this to obtain a direct link (an html address) for your photo. Click on your Image and then click on "see more" under "share this image." Next, click on the "Get Link Code" tab and copy paste the "Direct link for layout pages" code. Now you might think you can do this through sites such as flickr, etc. But it doesn't seem to work. Photobucket is the answer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Go back to blogger, and when uploading your header, paste the direct link in the "from the web" box, instead of uploading "from my computer". Wait for the image thumbnail to load, hit Save, and your banner will no longer look like it has five day stubble.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Chris Van Allsburg has been my favorite Illustrator for 23 years. I discovered his books when I was in Kindergarden. I remember every week when we had library I would ask the librarian if she had gotten any new Chris Van Allsburg books. Sometimes she would say "yes," and it would make my day. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I've had the pleasure to meet Chris twice. Once was in 2003 at the Curious George shop in Cambridge, MA. The second time was in 2005 in Boston, MA and I actually got to see him give a slide talk about his sculpture work. It is amazing when you get to meet your idol in person. Feel free to leave a comment about your favorite book. I'm always looking for new things to read. I am currently reading <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Decorate-Design-Ideas-Every-Room/dp/0811877892/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316096709&sr=8-1">Decorate</a></i> by Holly Becker and <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Heart-Matter-Emily-Giffin/dp/0312554176/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316096763&sr=1-1">Heart of the Matter</a></i> by Emily Griffin. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">2. Something you feel strongly about</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">I feel that we we are all put on this earth to create. Being creative is very important to me and it's a skill we all possess when we are born. Some chose to embrace our creativeness and some choose to ignore it. So, I say if you are ignoring your creativeness, don't. The world would probably be better off if you take action and put your creative energy to work. So Get going. </span><br />

</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">This is a funny post, and something I have had a lot of time to think about in my single life. Although I don't think there is a magic recipe to "win my heart," and chemistry has a lot to do with falling in love, there are a few things that I admire in potential suitors LOL. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Be the best you.</b> I am always striving to learn more and do more and be the best me I can be. I would like to be with someone who is on a path that betters them. Turn on. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Be romantic.</b> I'm a total sucker for romance and it comes in many forms. There's the cheesy flowers and stuff (which is nice), but the best type of romance is when the other person does little things that lets you know they are thinking about you. Swoon.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Make my Life easier.</b> I am busy all the time, and I work a lot. I haven't been in a relationship in a long time where I felt that the other person made my life easier in any way (actually just the opposite). It would be so amazing if a guy did anything to make my life less work, or less stress. Amazeballz. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Be a cuddler.</b> I'm a toucher. I haven't read the book, but I'm pretty sure my love language is touch. I love to cuddle, hug, kiss, and give and get back rubs. Back rubs are a sure way to my heart. Not to mention it sucks to hug yourself, it just looks silly. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><b>Be passionate.</b> I LOVE what I do, and I want to be with someone who loves what they do. It makes for better dinner conversation.

I've seen this 30 day challenge on many other people's blogs and I've decided to jump on the band wagon. Feel free to do the same and send me a link to your challenge. I'm going to do theses at whatever pace they come, I'm not trying to finish them in 30 days, but if I do good for me. Photo by <a href="http://techjunkie.tumblr.com/">Matt Stevenson.</a><br />
