Photoshop Faux Pa

In doing research for one of my classes on ethics I came across this ad from the Bloomberg administration and their goal to ban soda in New York City which I found to be very interesting.

Check out this ad:


& now the original photo before photoshop magic:



Although soda may lead to type two diabetes which may lead to amputations, it was not the case for this man.

Just keep on your toes (no pun intended) and remember you can't always believe what you see (or in this case don't see)!

Happy Anniversary GiveCorps!

This Thursday marked GiveCorps One Year Anniversary!

I made my way down to Baltimore with my boyfriend Jake to celebrate and to see all of the planning, designing and hard work finally come together! Opening the boxes that were delivered to the office was literally like Christmas morning (I am pretty sure everyone has now confirmed that I am actually crazy)! All in all it was 1,600 napkins (6 different styles), 2,500 raffle tickets, 1,000 tshirts (2 colors), 300 custom name tags, 14 different 20x30in posters & 6 combination moustache and monocle props to take the most wonderful pictures! 

Here are some wonderful pictures of the designed items that I created finally in real life!








& remember you don't have to be rich to be a philanthropist!

Shrine Stalking

For my photojournalism class we each were assigned an hour during Homecoming Week to take photos of everyone who came to get their pictures taken at the 

Lion Shrine


Here are some of the kids that graced the Nittany Lion that chilly Sunday morning!






 This little guy finished his photo shoot by letting out his biggest lion roar. So precious!

I can show you the world...

Shining, Shimmering, Splendid!

Homecoming comes just once a year! This year my sorority, Omega Phi Alpha, is paired with Sigma Nu with the theme of Aladdin. Although I will miss last year and Mike Wazowski...


it means a new theme to design for!! I created a design with the genie as the Nittany Lion which ended up being used for our banner in the parade (I promise I will post a picture of it later)!


It is the perfect week to celebrate some Penn State Nittany Lion pride and hope for my sorority and our pairing to place overall in the Homecoming competition!

LET'S GO STATE!
