Savannah Theater presents Country Star Revue

Their are more pictures of this event. Savannah Theater always put on great performances that I always look forward to taking pictures at whenever I get a chance to go watch them. They have wonderful talent, great skits, and they always pick great music to sing.

This is from their skit of The Devil Went Down to Georgia song, the end of the song.

Forgot what this one was for, but love the effects they did on him.

Their version of Willie Nelson.

John Michael Montgomery sing one of my favorite song Sold.

Update

I been in the process of trying to come up with a new project to post, but I do have still a lot of stuff to add to my website still. I also need a good site company to post my website. I need to start a logo page with the few logos I have started, and get some of my internship work uploaded too. In the process of all this I been starting a workout blog to keep myself going also with a friend to encourage her with her goals.

With the 50's snack project I figured out how to simplified and make it work a little better. HOWEVER, I am still stuck on the concept of materials to build with it since the concept of bristle board was not a strong idea the first round. I believe that card-stock should be strong enough and easier to build with. I want it sturdy enough, but easy enough to be built with by hand.

I got some new images that I shall be posting, again another thing I need to update my website with; new photography images. I know I been to relax with updating the design journal, but I been so busy with work and trying to find a full time job that I haven't had time to look at the competitions announcements I am signed up for. Once calm time hits again which will be coming up soon, I will have hopefully new projects, or other ideas on fixing old projects posted here.

First simple project, design myself a tiny sketch book that can go to work with me.

Keep your eye out, things will be updated pretty soon.

COMING UP:
Concert pictures
logos
Pictures for a play
sketches for snack project

10 Things NOT to Wear to Your Work Holiday Party

Here's some information that some people might find helpful about how to dress for the parties at their jobs. This came off

#1: Tacky Holiday Sweaters

Why Not?

Unless you are a grandmother holiday sweaters are hardly acceptable. Yes we know its cute, but unless it is a ugly holiday sweater party, don’t wear it.

Try This Instead

Sweaters are a great choice for a professional holiday party, especially if you live in a colder region. Even guys can pair a nice sweater and slacks to look stylish and professional for the big bash. Avoiding shirts that showcase holiday animals and characters is the way to go for a professional holiday soirée.

#2: Too Much Makeup

Why Not?

It’s okay to get a little dressier for your holiday party, but don’t cover the face people have come to appreciate with so much makeup that you’re hardly recognizable.

Try This Instead

Concentrate on one facial asset, like lips or eyes, and go just a shade darker that you normally would. Adding more than that will be too harsh, even for a dressy holiday party.

#3: Things That Blink and Buzz

Why Not?

If you were kindergarten teacher, I’m sure your students get a big kick out of clothes that are wearable and entertaining. Rule of thumb, if your outfit requires batteries, look past it and onto something more suitable and less distracting for adult conversation.

Try This Instead

If it’s bling you’re after, try getting the same glittery effect on a sweater, shirt, necklace or even earrings.

#4: Fashion from Another Era

Why Not?

Do you have a dress in your closet you’ve been saving for decades? It might be a good idea to keep it there. A high-profile party planner in D.C. recently saw a woman who walked into a party in a red strapless dress with a full, hoop skirt complete with ruffles and diamond accents. Scarlett O’Hara meets Snow White is not a great professional look.

Try This Instead

Bold colors and tasteful fashions can do just as much to draw attention- positive attention, that is. Selecting one statement piece for your holiday party attire is a great move, but stay away from selecting too many daring pieces to wear together.

#5: Your Tattoos

Why Not?

No one in your office knows you’ve got a giant eagle on your back, and selecting a backless shirt would showcase what you think is a great piece of art. Think about the long term impact. Once the tattoos are out of the bag, you can’t put them back in. It may be silly, but some people have a real distaste for tattoos, and that could spill over into your work environment.

Try This Instead

Clothes that suggest you have a tattoo, like revealing just an inch or so can be intriguing and a good conversation piece, just don’t put it on display unless you’re sure it’ll be well received.

#6: Too Much Chest

Why Not?

Clothes are meant to cover you, especially at work. You may be in great shape and want to show off a little too much of your body. Hold up! Ensure your cover workers remain seeing you as a professional after the party wraps.

Showing a little leg is one thing, but too much revealing cleavage (ladies) is inappropriate and could be a turn off. Save showing off this part of your body (if you must) for around the pool, sunning on your deck, at home with your significant other, or on vacation- NOT sipping drinks with your boss.

Avoiding low cut shirts isn’t just advice for the ladies. Guys, if there’s a fistful of chest hair popping out of your shirt, button it up! Better yet, don one of the many stylish ties you get this time of you….but see number #9 for tips on picking the right one.

Try This Instead

Guys, if you’re trying to seem more casual than usual by taking the tie off and unbuttoning the shirt, that’s great. One button is plenty. Wear a blazer or jacket to control the collar popping out too far.

Ladies: If you want to draw attention to your neckline or small waist, go for a slimmer fitting shirt than you usually wear and complement it with a great statement necklace.

#7: Barely There Skirts

Why Not?

Legs can be a woman’s best asset, but at a work party, they shouldn’t be the main feature. If you can’t bend over without showing the room what’s under your skirt, then it’s way too short!

Try This Instead

Think about how your shoes compliment your skirt. The higher the shoe, the longer the skirt should be. The flatter the shoe, the shorter the skirt can be and still look professional. Be careful wearing super high heels and a super short skirt.

#8: Your Child’s Clothes

Why Not?

I’m sure your child has great taste in clothes- inherited from you, of course! But raiding their closet for a holiday party could make for an uncomfortable evening. Styles for youth are drastically different than fashion for adults. Designers that play to the body shape of teens or young adults may not flatter the adult physique. Baby doll dresses are on the way out, so don’t try to pull this look off if it makes your body type look pregnant. That could start unwanted rumors around the office.

Try This Instead

What really intrigues you about your child’s clothes? Is it the sparkle of the necklace or the funky one shoulder? Take what you like about it and see if you can rework an outfit that you’ll feel good about and flatters you and your best assets.

#9: A Gaudy Holiday Tie

Why Not?

Silly ties have a time and place for some, but not at a work party. You don’t want to be known as “the guy who wears crazy ties.” A tie that flashes lights or plays a song may seem like a fun gimmick, but it can make your whole vibe seem silly and unprofessional.

Try This Instead

If you want to wear a tie and be festive, chose a solid color, like red or green against a gray shirt. Small, tasteful holiday symbols on ties are fine.

#10: Santa Suit

Why Not?

A Santa suit may be festive, but unless you’ve been asked to wear it, the joke is on you. Don’t spend the time you could be enjoying free food and drinks with your coworkers trapped under hot Santa suit and beard. You might get a laugh upon arrival, but once the initial “Santa surprise” is over, there’s not much left to say.

Try This Instead

If feel you need to make an entrance, put on a Santa hat or a pair of antlers. You can take them off after a few minutes.

Blast from the past

In my packaging class. I discovered I had a love for the 50's time period that I could not help but try to design something that would fit in great with the project sheet: wine, snack kit, and sweets.

I design this snack kit that had a lot of thought behind it. The snack kit concept is if you were going to a dinner/ cocktail/ any kind of party but needed to bring a snack of some sort, then they would grab this kit. This kit was based off the 50's time period. Inside this kit you will have olive oil, 2 different kind of seasons dips, crackers, crumble up bread, a small plate, knife, and spoon to do all the prepping work for dip. It had this slip cover that had a foggy plastic to show it looking through a window. You would see the details of the cover of the package of a city scape. Inside of the box has a 50's motif pattern. The whole kit is reusable besides the box (which is recyclable).

Down fault of this project is that this project fell apart the day it was due. The pictures show the mock up version on how this project looks, but not presentable. It is time for this project to get a second chance to live, but live how I dream it to be.

Food for Thoughts

Here is some of the food images I did at the Robinson Christmas gathering. The gingerbread village was design by the little girl, and the cupcakes were really good, just had to have the picture of it to remember it. First try with food images.

Try out

This blogger is a concept to see if this has any purpose in promoting me as a designer. Besides using this as a design method it will also be used as another way to promote my photography at the same time. There were suggestions on just using it as an all around journal just so it is not limited. Another great idea. Till then this is just a temporary thing till further notice.

A wise prof. said to our portfolio class, "use whatever is out their on the internet to get you noticed. If it is something you have done and being published or if its just doing a blog and updating it as much as you can besides your portfolio site."

The sad part of all this is... I still need a different place to get my portfolio site published besides under the school account website. Any Suggestions?
