one week to go

Saturday, April 11th, 2009

I have one more week on the job. Over so soon! It is great work, but it is unpaid work. Money running out. Must go home. But to return to TN soon?

Another wedding poster. This was the one that the client did not like at first. I made minor changes–to froof it up, make it a bit more feminine. Looks good, looks good.

Other projects and random images.

That there is a giant wedding invitation I designed and printed this week. It is 14 X 22 inches, and they are going to mail these out as invitations. People take their weddings very seriously, so I hope they like it. Kurtis and Jen live out of town, so they won’t see the finished poster until the package arrives at their door. They damn well better like it.

Alright, alright. Another one I designed this week. Please read through this thing to understand what it is. Oh, don’t quite understand why there is a drawing of a man in a suit bullfighting? Or why does it look like that man is in the mafia, nicely placing a blanket over a docile cow? Well, that man is Dewey Daane, in a bullfight in Spain. Don’t ask. I love this poster though. (I had to make a plate of all that tiny text in the bottom-left. Just too much type.)

Here is Eli, my fellow intern. I just like this photo.

And did you know that Nashville has its very own full-size replica of the Greek Parthenon? It sits in the middle of Centennial Park–a nice, big park, just outside of downtown.

parthenon

A somewhat-informative explanation:

In the 1840’s educator Philip Lindsay thought that Nashville should encourage the ideals of Classical Greek education, such as Philosophy and Latin and be known as the Athens of the West. While that nick -name never took hold, decades later Nashville would be given a similar nick-name; Athens of the South, that would became synonymous with Nashville until the title of Music City arrived, with the dawn of the Grand Ole Opry in the 1930’s. If you look in the yellow pages of Nashville, you will still find many companies with the name of Athens within their title.

In 1895 Tennessee searched for a way to commemorate its 100-year anniversary and decided on a centennial exposition to be staged in its capitol of Nashville and then building an exact replica of the Parthenon of ancient Greece and thus the Parthenon, being the pinnacle of the Grand Exposition, was the first building erected.
