Calling all writers, photographers, designers, and job seekers!!!!

Hey All!

   Happy Thanksgiving! So, you are probably wondering why my post has such a weird name... I better just tell you! XD

   So, I am working on starting an online magazine for girls of all talents. If you like writing, reading, reviewing, photographing, or even just plain designing this is for you! So, I am looking for people who can supply my website/online magazine with:

1) Photographs - I need as many of you photographers as possible (At first you will get credit, and eventually you will be paid)

2) Articles - If you have a passion for writing I need you! (This is again on a volunteer basis - full credit not any money for a while)

3) Editing - I am looking for the kind of girl, who enjoys looking through articles editing them! (You will be put on the "Staff" page) 

4) Design - I am looking for you girls who are really good at designing and just never got your chance. This will include designing article placement for the magazine and designing the blog and website. (You will get complete credit!)

5) Social Media - If you love social media CONTACT ME! I love it to so I understand your need for social media! (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, blog posts) 

   This website is not going to get any profit for the first little bit (I am thinking about the first 4-6 months) and so I am asking for volunteers. It does not matter what age you are or of what skill, I need you! If you think this is something you might be interested in doing contact me for further information! My e-mail is ViennaJacobson97@gmail.com, please - I love you all!

   If you are interested of know anyone who might be, please pass on the information. I am hoping to launch the first issue on New Years so jet me an e-mail and I will put you to work! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!

Yours,
Vienna J./i.e. DesignGirl

Introducing... DesignGirl

I am fifteen years old and I am the third in eight kids. :D I love photography, web development, graphic design, Frisbee, playing the piano, and hanging out with my siblings and friends. Are interests and hobbies different (mine aren’t)? I don’t really have a favorite subject in school, but I enjoy anything that is in a class setting (i.e. more than one person!)

I have always enjoyed fooling around on the computer, but about 2 years ago I discovered blogger and started my own private blog. I really hated the way my blog looked and so my friend helped me download Gimp which I used for most of the time. Then at the end of last year, my amazing dad went and bought my Photoshop Cs5! I really didn’t like it at first, but I has hired to re-do some sites and was then forced to use it.

My biggest goal this year is to launch a web assistant site for myself. I promise to give you updates if that ever takes off!

I am hoping that in being part of this community that I will be challenged to become a better designer and to get some (a lot) of tips on things!

Favorite Program? Are you kidding me… Photoshop CS5!

PC or MAC? Can this be a question of what I would like? I would like/LOVE a Mac, but right now I am still on a PC!

I do have a blog, but it is not quite finished yet! You can, however, check out my online magazine at http://centraloregonscraps.wordpress.com/ (Also, it is not limited to Oregonians!

Beauty in Design Challenge | week 29

*An important announcement first - we're going to be taking a break from the weekly challenge for a while. We've all had a great time with it, but I think that we need to take at least a couple months to relax. Let me know what you guys think about the challenge - if you think we should pick it up again in a few months or if we shouldn't. =) Okay, that's it! Thanks Marcia for the awesome challenge this week!*

The challenge this week is to create a branding/inspiration board... or a collage with your favorite photos, quotes, colors.. you get the idea. 


here are two examples that I made for my blog.
