11 | two different formals, two different themes, two different posters

lotus & ash was asked to design the stanford senior formal poster, and the stanford athlete formal poster... the first was held at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, and featured the museum's art...

the second was held in the Oak Room in the Tressider Student Union...and featured a "club-like" atmosphere...

like I said, two very different formals, two very different posters.

10 | weekend of paper

the lotus & ash factory, i.e. my dorm room, was covered in paper producing a new line of thank you cards, birthday greeting cards, and 3 new designs, including cheetah print. new packaging completes the L&A look with a simple aluminum tin to display and hold not-yet-used stationery.

07 | happy green.

for 20 years, i have celebrated my birthday on st. patrick's day. this year, things may or may not have been the same. nevertheless this year's birthday fell on the first day of winter quarter finals, so after a weekend of celebrating with dinner, a study-picnic (see below) and plenty of carefully chosen cards, i spent the day doing things that make me happy:

1. waking up early

2. visiting the cantor

3. designing, in the sun

4. making stationery (see "GRATITUDE")

5. run: lake lag > the dish > stanford ave.

6. laundry

7. procrastinating with a blog post, and a facebook album.
