Visual Literacy: Updated, Updated Resume

So I got some feedback on my Resume for Visual Literacy.  Technically, the resume, blog, and business card are all supposed to have some sort of connection.  While my old updated resume and business cards were connected by color and the treble clef, there was no connection to my blog.

Now there's a reason my blog wasn't visually connected to the other two items.  For one, I'm using a pre-made template for my blog (courtesy of Blogger), so I can't really incorporate a treble clef in there somewhere.  And while I could potentially change my blog color to red to match the other items I sort of have a theme going on with this blog that predates the class.  Followers of the blog (shut up, just pretend I have regular followers for now) might remember that the blog color changes periodically.  Sometimes it's green.  Sometimes it's white/gold.  Sometimes it's purple.  Sometimes it's red (okay, so it hasn't been red yet, but that was because I was in Russia when it was supposed to be red).

Anyone familiar with the Church knows that those are the different liturgical colors.  And in addition to dressing liturgically on Sundays and special days (by wearing a color that corresponds with the liturgical season...I wish I was making that up), I "dress" this blog liturgically by changing the color to reflect the liturgical season.  Currently, we are in Ordinary Time, and the color for Ordinary Time is green.  So that's why my blog is green right now.

TL;DR

Here is an updated copy of my resume that connects to my blog.  I'll make a new business card soon.


Visual Literacy: Photo Journal, Doors and Windows

It is at this point that I realized I'm doing the assignment wrong and I should have made a contact sheet on iPhoto....whoops. Ah well, I'll do that next. Meanwhile, here's a study on doors and windows.
