Idiom Workshop
Way way back in January, I put on a workshop with the talented design students at University of Florida as part of their ambitious portfolio show, Ligature24. This student organized, three day graphic design extravaganza was filled with an exhibition of work, grand opening event and several design lectures (from myself and the super talented power couple Leta Sobierajski and Wade Jeffree). If pulling together the event wasn’t enough work for the students, they also organized a day of workshops. For mine, It was a quick little three hour workshop where the students drew an idiom from a hat and had to ideate a lot of concepts in a very short amount of time. A handful of the students went above and beyond and turned their sketches into these fun illustrations.
A Leopard Can't Change Its Spots, Derrick Ligon Barking Up the Wrong Tree, Kylie Leuthold Not Playing With a Full Deck, Katie Ladd Don't Bite the Hand That Feeds You, Jessica Howard Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk, Ismael Lopez When It Rains, It Pours, Mallory Frye Don't Quit Your Day Job, Sidney Howard Straight From the Horse's Mouth, Alison Entsminger
