Uppercase Magazine Design Guide & Self Portrait / Identity Project • Make Art That Sells (Part A) Special Uppercase

I am taking the MAKE ART THAT SELLS (MATS) Classes and really enjoying them so far. I was so happy they came up with a self paced program; with a 3 year old nothings is ever planned or happen when it's supposed to. Don't get me wrong, my little girl is amazing and I love her to peices, but I don't call her pokey puppy for nothing!

Above is the Part A class extra assignment. Below is the Part B extra assignment.

The Part B, below was a Self Portrait / Identity Project. I had so much fun with this one in particular. I was able to share my vintage love. There are all sorts of goodies in this piece that speak to me. My grandpas old camera, my love of sewing and crafting, flowers, ferns; things that make me, me.

They are the only two that really had deadlines to get them turned by. So, I started there. More to come.
