Graphic Jam

HELLO!


     & 


Welcome to my blog.  I'm still working out the kinks and playing with the header, but here is the first official post.  Throughout the next four months I will use this space to share my designs for VOX magazine as well as projects I am working on for the design capstone.  My thoughts on other design blogs as well as anything that catches my eye will also go up here. In other words, this blog is both my virtual inspiration board and portfolio.  


My name is Brittany Duncan and I'm from Las Vegas, Nevada.  Ne-VAHHHH-duh.  I have been obsessed with magazines for as long as I can remember.  It's not usually the stories I'm into, but how the pages are put together.  It's like Christmas each time I go into Barnes & Noble and look at all the different types of magazines there are and how beautifully some are created.   For me, a great magazine is a piece of art.  I keep them.  I reread them.  There are a few on display in my bedroom.  
I love fashion, music, traveling and being out in nature, but I came to Mizzou because I wanted to create magazines.  


This is my last semester at the University of Missouri and I am excited to see all the skills I've acquired manifested in this blog.  The real world is approaching fast, but the mystery of the future is a propelling force rather than a hindrance. 


Wanderlust.  Every few months I feel the urge to pick up and go somewhere.  Anywhere.  I'm always planning, always trying to get away and experience something new.  These moments usually result in road trips to the beach or weekends spent hiking in the mountains.  There was a time I bought a plane ticket to New Delhi, India without telling my parents and wiped out my bank account in the most interesting two weeks of my life.  Great food.  Great people.


I may have a problem.  


BUT, this time is different.   Instead of a mini vacation or week long camping trip I have to return from, there is nothing to hold me back.  The map is blank and I can go anywhere.  There are cities I've never been to and amazing people everywhere I can't wait to meet and learn from.  Job permitting, I'm about to embark on my greatest adventure yet.


I'm on the brink of the rest of my life, and I have everything to look forward to.  


          CHEERS!
