In order to adequately prepare myself for the approaching professional arena, I’ve made this design of a business card for myself.

Front:

Back:

My idea for my mark is based off of the trademark (TM). This is not only because my initials are MT, but by flipping the word that it is preceding it also refers to my view and approach of changing what design is all about.

It will be screen printed onto black Touche paper, which if you are unfamiliar with, has the feeling of rubber.

I would love any feedback or critiques you might have. Thanks!

Hey AIGA,

Kathryn, your web coordinator here. I just wanted to test out the new blog and inform you about some upcoming important dates:

XOXO Eisner Event Friday, February 8 2008 6-11 p.m.
Scott Schwebel from Hanson Dodge February 20 at 11:30 a.m. Art 403
Ad Club “Copywriting” March 3^rd 7 p.m. in the Union
Portfolio Reviews at the Eisner March 28 and 29, 2008
Portfolio Reveiws in Minneapolis on April 11 and 12

Many GD I and GD II students have submitted boards for the XOXO event on Friday, so it would be great if AIGA would go out and support their participating members and peers. The portfolio reviews, held at the end of March and beginning of April, are also very important events that all members should attend. Not only is it a great networking opportunity, you’ll get some advice on your work and its presentation. This should be a great semester, and I hope to see all of you at each event!
