Busy Nothings

A girlfriend of mine from high school, Kate Breidenbach, keeps a wonderful little blog about her life, crafts, and frugal living. It's a great way to keep up, share ideas, and show off clearance finds!

Korean Graphic Design

My boyfriend, Benjamin, is currently considering taking a job offer in South Korea. This would require signing a one year contract, us getting married (in order for me to get the proper visa to stay for the entire year) and, of course, moving to SOUTH KOREA.

At first, I was all for the idea. Now keep in mind, it was February in Minnesota...ANYWHERE ELSE sounds like a great idea. As our talks about it got more and more serious, I started to realize all of the drastic changes I would have to take on at once: Could I get a job? How would I go grocery shopping? What about NORTH Korea? Do Koreans even like Americans? What about Kilo? I have a year left of school...

At the same time though, why not go? I've been in college for 6 years and I still have a whole year left...I live in a dinky apartment in Minnesota. I'm an art major; isn't it kind of 'normal' for an art major to do something weird like move to Asia for a year to find themself?

I don't know...but anyways, here are some amazing examples of Korean art:

Paper Food

Shush-kabobs featuring shrimp, pineapple, cherry tomatoes, both green and orange peppers, onions, and mushrooms. It may look tempting, but these are NOT SAFE TO EAT. I had grand ideas of bring a small grill in as a pedestal, bottles of BBQ sauce and beer...

Quick Logos

    I was given an assignment to photograph common logos, as well as to sketch some package designs. Logos and package design are extremely important aspects in the retail industry. There have been countless times where I have purchased something, even if I don't necessarily need it, but because of the item's unique packaging. Logos need to be simple, yet express an enormous amount of information quickly. Simple shapes and lines convey an entire business' service, product, and reputation. Most of all, it must be memorable.

     So many aspects of logos and packaging are ingrained in our society. Iconic images such as Mr. Bubbles, Mr. Clean, Aunt Jemimah, are instantly recalled in our memories from childhood. When I was younger, I was fascinated with the idea of being a mermaid. I can clearly remember staring at the Chicken of the Sea tin can and thinking to myself how beautiful the little cartoon drawing of the mermaid was. My parents have told me that I would laugh uncontrollably as an infant when the laundry softener Snuggle bear came across the TV. These are products we use on a daily basis, products that are essential to our way of life. In purchasing an item, no matter how insignificant, I feel there is a connection with it, a sense of pride or accomplishment in spending hard earned money to have it. Why not make it beautiful?
