Me in a nutshell

Ever since I was little, I have been interested in arts and crafts. Growing up, I was always busy crafting, painting, or scrapbooking projects of all sorts. I am pursuing design as a career because of this, I want to be allowed to let my creativity and imagination flow freely. I am inspired by everything around me, both by things tangible and felt. I hope to learn as much as possible about commercial and residential design, and learn to take on whatever challenges I am presented with.

Quilt Pattern


This was my very first trial using photoshop. I like looking at this quilt and thinking about how far I have come since then. In order to create this quilt pattern, I first manipulated photos to become familiar with photoshop, and then layered and rotated pictures over a template to create the quilt pattern. Sadly, up close there are some sloppy overlapping corners, and holes in the pattern. Now that I feel more comfortable using Photoshop, I am confident that given this assignment again, I would better understand how to use the rotate and layering tools in a way that would make things perfectly symmetrical. I would also erase the background template.

The photos I used to manipulate can be found here at www.layoutsparks.com, www.tasoeur.biz, www.pbase.com, www.gdargaud.net, www.deviantart.com, and www.myspace.com/maggiedv.
