Book clocks, health fairs and house painters

Last week, I shot a photo gallery of the GPL Teen Zone's Book Clock project on Tuesday.



On Wednesday, it was a health fair at Striplin.





And Thursday was house painters. (It ran in the paper in black and white on A2, so no image of that.)



And this week I was back to being a magazine staffer.

Wordles for the boys

For the latest editions of Ben and Cash’s Blurb books, I made a “wordle” for the first page, using phrases oft-repeated by each boy. Above is Ben’s wordle.

And here is Cash’s:



This was the text I pasted into Wordle to create it:

BEEG~truck! BEEG~truck! BEEG~truck! BEEG~truck!
I~still~working~on~it I~still~working~on~it I~still~working~on~it
My~do~it My~do~it My~do~it
Brudder~Ben Brudder~Ben
Dat’s~enough Dat’s~enough
That~feel~better! That~feel~better!
That’s~not~right.
Chase~me!
It’s~a~hippahottamuss!
Where~my~car?
Diego
Mole!
Hey~Mommy~know~what?
Dino~Fwad

I chose Print and the option to make it a PDF. Then I opened the PDF in Illustrator and did a little tweaking.

Ariel's wedding

One of my co-workers daughters was getting married and they asked if I could design the wedding and shower invitations based on something they liked online:



Why yes, of course!







Another coworker was supposed to be the photographer for the wedding, but he went and had another bike wreck. (Eric! Stop doing that!)

So I ended up shooting the nuptials, as well! Steven and Ariel had a beautiful wedding.
