“Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I’d like you to take a minute
Just sit right there;
While I tell you how I became a designer in the past years.
In Venice, Florida born and raised; 1988
In the art room was where I spent most of my days
Chillin’ out sketchin’ relaxin’ all cool
And shootin’ some pictures outside of school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to all good
Started talkin’ bout college; a great art school
I sent in one little paper and my mom got scared
She said ‘Pack up your things; you’re going to IADT my dear!’ …”
Currently, I am attending the International Academy of Design and Technology pursuing a BFA in graphic design. I heard about Artistik Envy through a friend who was talking me into it. Finally, it clicked and I decided to go to the screening. Little did I know, I would be chosen to be in the “Top 10″. I am starting to see the benefits of being in this competition, and actually happy to be apart of something like this. I am also hoping my design skills and my conceptual thinking will improve throughout this competition.
Send me an email at k.lamons@envy.artistikmagazine.com or just leave a comment/critique below and I’ll be sure to get back to you!

Great job this week honey. We love the piece and we think you are great. Your presentation was very good. You improved over last week and that is the point. Keep up the great ideas. We are proud of you.

Hey Kristi,
I liked how you really worked on your presentation skills, and I think you did much better than last week.
I also thought that you could have left a little more space for the text on the side, but overall, the theme and the use of the photos in the glasses were nicely thought out.
Good Luck =)
October 26th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Hey Kristi, you did a great job. I love watching your videos and interviews. I feel like I know you better after watching them. Good luck!
Love-Krista
