Hello all. It is I, your long-lost web-monkey. I'd thought I would just drop in and dish out an update on the life of Josh.
I have been away for many months/years building my street cred on the hard streets of Fayetteville, AR. You may have caught sight of me on ESPN shirtless, painted, and acting a fool at the Auburn football game. Apparently my crew got on a few times. Every time I see somebody from Hope at the game (which is surprisingly often), the first thing they say is "Does your mom know about this?" She does, she has it Tivo'd.
I have finally made my way through the artsy fartsy world of mixed art classes with those shoeless dolphin-riding purveyors of "fine art" (the painters, sculptors, potters, et cetera). I have broken away into my home, the Graphic Design department: the land of technology, sanity, and the one of the only place to find a conservative mind in the entire art department. I am now enrolled in animation and web design (it's what I do). I do actually learn new things in that class, which is why I hold that professor in the highest regard of all.
I recently got a job as web and graphic designer at the Office of Student Involvement & Leadership on campus. They're soon to change their name to the Center for Leadership & Community Engagement (apparently they didn't have quite enough words in their name before), so I've been designing a new identity and website for them the past month or so. The website will be launched within the month at leadership.uark.edu , but if you want to see the work in progress, go to leadership.uark.edu/New_Leadership (the upper case wasn't my doing, I promise). It's fun because I can learn something in class, and go immediately and apply it (which have done on two occasions within minutes). Maybe in some spare time I can ply my trade to the convogi-site.
My most recent project in the works is a tech television on UATV (UA's tv station) show not unlike G4's Attack of the Show. It's a production of mine and two friends, and we're calling it RJ45. It'll consist of some tech news, gadget showcase, game review, youtube stuff, and a specialty segment that will showcase a different tech topic in detail each week. It's gonna be sweet. I'm designing the graphics and co-anchoring. We are prepared to blow the existing shows on UATV (news, politics, and sports) out of the water, and none of us are broadcast journalism majors... just an art major, a business major, and a chemistry grad student (the latter two volunteer/work at the station though). I have screens of what we have thus far, but blogger doesn't want to cooperate at the moment, so I'll try again later.
until I blog again...
