Journ•all: The Ultimate Travel Journal

Check out this shiny BABY.

 

This is two of my friend's and my MIT 6.470 Website Competition entry for this year! I'd never made a website before, so this was a great experience.

Is it sad that the thing I'm proudest about is the name? Just kidding, I'm pretty happy with the outcome considering we didn't spend too much time on it. We should have, but it's IAP, and we decided to also explore the town and be normal college students every once in a while :)

A Wishlist Holiday Card

I made a wishlist holiday card for one of my friends. 

She's really into lace, the color pink, and owl jewelry.
I feel like a lot of the items are more appropriate for the fall season, but I wear fall items all year round :)

A Fashion Holiday Card. Featuring a Look Book.

One of my friends and I are collaborating on a fashion project this month so I thought I'd make a fashion-themed holiday card for her:

On the inside, I taped a look book I compiled from this past year's fashion. 

I used an ink pen and watercolor pencils.

Excuse my poorly executed (and halfhearted) limbs. 

I figured even empty space could be better than my really ugly drawings of hands.

Harbor Arbor

My metals class brainchild from senior year of high school:

I scoured the internet for all types of jewelry stands as inspiration and weighed out how difficult it'd be to create one with the limited tools and one month's time we had in school.

I had little mementos on each corner.

The bird on the top is supposed to resemble one of those rooster weather vanes and symbolize a moral compass for the more independent times ahead. 

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. 

You can steer yourself any direction you choose. 

You're on your own. And you know what you know.

 And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” 

“You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. 

You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. "

"And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! 

(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.” 

~ Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!
